Ever wonder which microprocessor to use in your space system design?
Check out this white paper which discusses the differences between LEON/SPARC and NOEL-V/RISC-V architectures. The paper describes our past and ongoing component development and explains the rationale for some architectural design choices for future roadmap products. Included herein are trends in the Space industry that are driving key new features example application use-cases and tradeoffs from a software perspective of a legacy LEON/SPARC design vs. a new RISC-V architecture.

CAES is exhibiting at the Single Event Effects (SEE) Symposium and Military and Aerospace Programmable Logic Devices (MAPLD) combined workshop. Our colleague from Gothenburg is presenting the "GR765 LEON5FT System-on-Chip: Results of First STM 28nm Test Chip Radiation Test Campaign" paper. The GR765 is a future system-on-chip product in development that provides a octa-core fault-tolerant LEON5FT SPARC V8 processor system, 12-port SpaceWire router, 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet interfaces, high-speed serial links, embedded FPGA fabric and CAN-FD interfaces.

This year's DASIA (Data Systems In Aerospace) virtual conference is sponsored by CAES. Our colleagues will be presenting two papers at the DASIA this year: "GR765-LEON5FT Multi-Processor SoC" and "GOMX-5 APPs - The Advanced Payload Processors IOD for the GOMX-5 Mission". We are also participating in the "Artificial Intelligence for High-performance Human Space Flight Avionics Systems" paper being presented at the conference.

Our colleagues will be presenting a paper at the 4S Symposium this year, "GOMX-5 APPs - The Advanced Payload Processors IOD for the GOMX-5 Mission". The Advanced Payload Processors (APPs) was developed targeting in-orbit demonstration (IOD) in the GOMX-5 mission. GOMX-5 is a flight demonstration for next generation cubesat missions, which will demand advanced attitude control, large processing capabilities, and high throughput data exchange between space and ground segments.

CAES, a leading provider of mission critical electronics for aerospace and defense, and Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, the low power programmable FPGA leader, announce today an agreement whereby CAES will qualify and sell radiation-tolerant Lattice FPGAs for space and satellite applications. We are actively developing a port of our proven GRLIB development environment and a library of configurable, standardized soft IP design cores to further support customer needs as they integrate these FPGAs into their designs. This will include our new fault-tolerant NOEL-V processor soft IP core implementing the RISC-V International instruction set architecture.

We have been awarded a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop a fault- and radiation-tolerant system-on-chip. Funded by the Swedish National Space Agency, the project will improve performance and power efficiency in satellite and spacecraft applications by developing a 16-core, space-hardened microprocessor based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). The GR7xV processor is based on the NOEL-V processor IP core and will be designed into spaceborne controls and payload data management and processing systems to enable new kinds of observational, communication, navigational and scientific missions and services. These include advanced, flexible telecommunications satellite payloads, scientific and earth-observation payloads and robotics systems such as planetary exploration rovers.

We have been awarded a contract from Vinnova, a Swedish government agency dedicated to promoting innovation, to develop next generation RISC-V based space computing capabilities. The results from this development will allow future microprocessors to enable spacecraft control, create high performance payload processing and will feature timing isolation for software applications and prevent interference from other parts of the system. The new NOEL-V fault-tolerant, 64-bit processor core is based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture and builds upon our heritage with the SPARC/LEON architecture. It marks the newest addition to our trusted fault tolerant space computing product portfolio.
