A Review of Fault-Tolerant Reconfigurable Architectures for Autonomous Systems Based on Redundant Logic Mapping
type: item
description: Mission-critical applications (aerospace, automotive, and defense) have autonomous systems that must have very high reliability to allow continued operation in varied environmental structures and fault conditions. The medium of flexibility and adaptability of the computer hardware is represented by reconfigurable computing platforms and, especially, by Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRAs). The review will provide an orderly research into the fault-tolerant reconfigurable architecture with an interest in redundant logic mapping which encompasses spatial, temporal, and hybrid redundancy model. We study important analysis metrics including Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), fault coverage, resources overhead and reconfiguration latency. Recent literature shows comparative results that hybrids are able to provide the MTTF with up to 3.5x scaling without a drastically high resource overhead (~2.1x LUTs, +25% power). The relevance also points to the real use in self-governing frameworks e.g. UAV, self-governing automobiles, and smart robotics, where fault cloaking, configuration abrasive, and flawless cycles are fundamental. Lastly, it presents open research issues in scalable fault diagnosis, AI-based reconfiguration as well as cross layer fault resilience, and states a guideline towards the design of next generation self-sustainable systems comprising of both economic and fault tolerant systems.

Quantum-Inspired Reconfigurable Computing for Accelerated Matrix Computations in High-Performance Embedded Systems
type: item
description: The emergence of data-hungry systems in the form of artificial intelligence, real-time signal processing, and scientific computing systems inside embedded systems has set extremely high requirements to the computational capabilities, electrical energy efficiency and flexibility. The computational backbone of many of these applications is matrix computations, that typically face bottlenecks in traditional processor architectures because of individual resources having no parallelism, and a lack of dynamism in resource allocation. In order to overcome such limitations, this paper introduces a new reconfigurable computing implementation, called Quantum-Inspired Matrix Engine (QIME) that emulates all three of these important quantum computing concepts of superposition, parallelism, and entanglement in a classical hardware setting. The system of the proposal will be applied to the Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and here, the system will be used to incorporate a pseudo-quantum state encoding process that enables the representation and processing of multiple matrix states simultaneously. QIME also has dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) so as to further have flexibility and efficiency in matching the architecture in real time with the nature and the complexity of the operations performed in the matrix. Also, there is approximate computing, where computational precision is traded off against performance where the tradeoff is allowed to increase energy profiles under workload variability. Experimental analysis of some typical benchmarks on matrices, including multiplication, decomposition, and convolution, shows that for representative operations QIME provides up to 6.3x speedup and 4.1x energy efficiency improvements over typical matrix co-processors and embedded GPUs. These findings will support the viability of quantum-inspired design paradigms in moving forward the performance and scalability of high-performance embedded systems, especially in the edge, and con…

Secure Runtime Reconfiguration Framework for FPGA-Based Embedded Systems in Mission-Critical Applications
type: item
description: Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become a popular platform to implement high performance and flexible mission-critical embedded systems with capabilities of configuration at run-time. Nevertheless, although dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) is the way to achieve flexibility and resource utilization, this introduces unacceptable security risks, especially in domains where the integrity of system, along with confidentiality and availability are some of the components that cannot be compromised. The theme of the paper is the design of a Secure Runtime Reconfiguration Framework (SRRF) targeted to meet the needs of FPGA-based embedded systems in a mission-critical setting like aerospace, defense, and medical instrumentation. The suggested structure is a combination of a cryptographically safe bitstream management component, a runtime verification and monitoring system, as well as a hardware-assisted tamper risk recognition system that enables secure loading, authentication and legislation of the reconfigurable modules. Confidentiality and integrity Our architecture leverages authenticated encryption (AES-GCM) to provide confidentiality and integrity of bitstreams and an authenticated and cryptographically secured boot chain and reconfiguration controllers (e.g., ICAP/PCAP interfaces). Here, the threat model is carefully examined through the use of the STRIDE and the threat vectors include bitstream spoofing, fault injection, and side-channel exploit. We deploy and test the framework on a Xilinx Zynq-7000 platform in different scenarios of working and attack operation. Cryptographic overhead is minimal (~3.1% latency overhead) and area is spared (< 8 percent LUTs allocated to security interventions) as indicated by experimental results, and it is robust to runtime attacks. The SRRF not only increases the trustworthiness of the system, but also does not come at the expense of performance, therefore, appearing as an attractive solution to high-assurance, reco…

Hardware-Assisted Intrusion Detection System for Automotive Embedded ECUs
type: item
description: Modern automotive systems progressively rely on Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to take control of vital vehicle functionality and are heavily interlinked on in-vehicle networks, e.g. the Controller Area Network (CAN). With the increased vehicle sophistication into a complex cyber-physical system, the car is more exposed to cyber-related attacks such as message injection, spoofing, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that have the potential to affect safety and performance. Implementations of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) using software, can be not very effective when it comes to real-time detection, because of the computational overhead imposed by them and the shared CPU usage. The paper proposes a new hardware-assisted intrusion detection system (H-IDS) designed to work on the automotive platforms and embedded devices (ECUs) in particular but is focused on the low-latency and real-time nature of the system and its capability to deploy on resource-constrained devices. The described architecture uses a light on-chip co-processor in the ECU as a special security engine to observe CAN traffic and observe abnormal behavior based on temporal and statistical characteristics. The H-IDS performs detection tasks on a separate processor-offloading payload so it does not interfere with other processes or even stop when the vehicle does not perform its tasks. This was implemented on an ECU platform based on the ARM Cortex-R5 in a hardware prototyping system with FPGA and then tested in a range of simulated attack conditions. The input of the experiment shows that there is a significant reduction in the detection latency that the H-IDS displays an average latency of 14 microseconds that is much faster than software-only solutions. Also, the design has less than 2 percent CPU overhead and its power and memory requirements fit squarely within the power and memory budget of most automotive embedded systems. The provided proposed H-IDS is aligned with ISO/SAE 21434 standards of…

Secure Over-the-Air (OTA) Firmware Update Mechanism for Resource-Constrained Embedded Devices
type: item
description: Software embedded design systems are also penetrating more and more important areas of application: the Internet of Things (IoT), remote health monitoring, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure, current safe efficient and secure firmware update mechanisms are paramount. The ability associated with over-the-air (OTA) updating of firmware is strictly required in preserving the functioning of devices, exploiting such gaps, and empowering the features after release. But in highly constrained systems (those with limited memory, processing capacity and available energy), conventional secure update interfaces can incur unacceptable overheads or they may not provide complete protection against sophisticated cyber-attacks. In this paper the authors introduce a simple yet lightweight and robust OTA update mechanism built specifically to be used on such constrained platforms. This suggested framework combines the familiar AES-GCM-authenticated encryption to guarantee data confidentiality and integrity, a source authentication technique based on checking digital signatures secured using ECDSA, and a versioning protocol providing the anti-rollback protection using monotonic counters. As part of validating its practicality, the solution is applied and tested with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, i.e., STM32 and nRF52840, where communication is performed over low-power wireless networks like LoRaWAN and BLE. A signature of firmware packages via custom-built update server (TLS) will provide secure transfer of updated packages. Experimental scrutinisms indicate that the secure OTA system has very limited overhead in resources (about 14 KB extra flash usage and 3 KB of RAM) and the average update speed is 3.8 seconds with a 256 KB binary image using LoRaWAN. In addition, the system is well adapted to identify and discard a tainted or old firmware image, hence ensuring device immunity against attacks including firmware manipulation, replay, and man-in-the-middle intrusion. The…

Design and Evaluation of Lightweight Cryptographic Primitives for Secure Communication in Resource-Constrained LPWAN Devices
type: item
description: The fast growth of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) within the scope of Internet of Things (IoT) brought up the urgent questions of secure communications in highly resource-limited settings. As a robust AES and RSA conventional cryptographic scheme, it applied a heavy burden to the embedded LPWAN nodes with limited memory capacity, computing ability, and power supplies. With this in mind, to fill this gap we suggest a set of lightweight cryptographic primitives that can be utilized in secure communication in LPWAN protocols including LoRaWAN and NB-IoT. The suite contains optimized versions of block ciphers (e.g. PRESENT, Speck), stream ciphers (e.g. Trivium), and hash functions (e.g. PHOTON, SPONGENT), benchmarked on microcontrollers with ultra-low power including STM32L0 and nRF52840. Security tests are done on differential, linear, and replay attacks and the performance tests on flash/RAM usage, latency, and energy consumption. Findings show that the PRESENT cipher implemented together with the SPONGENT hash-function decreases the memory demand by 52 percent, and energy utilization by 37 percent as contrasted to AES-CCM, with no foundational security promises damaged. These results highlight the ability to implement lightweight cryptography in the IoT system based on the LPWAN and maintain the data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication and at the same time support the efficiency of the devices. The work gives a scalable basis of secure embedded communication especially in areas like smart metering, environmental monitoring, industrials telemetry.

type: item
description: The evolution of embedded systems is more rapid and is bringing about a transformation across all systems of healthcare, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics where intelligent, energy efficient and application specific solutions are becoming more important. The paper seeks to describe the complete analysis of next generation embedded systems especially in designing new approaches, practical implementations of the systems, and technological trends. The paper uses a structured review methodology; it would therefore pull together results of recently published peer-reviewed sources, industry reports, and case studies. Analysed methodologies are hw/sw co-design, power/energy conscious architecture, AI-driven optimisations, security-aware design and model-based development processes. The review findings also underscore the fact that a combination of edge AI accelerators, heterogeneous computing systems and secure, reconfigurable systems both maximizes performance per-watt and operational resiliency. The analysis also shows that new enablers like 5G/6G connectivity, neuromorphic computing and quantum-inspired algorithms will redefine embedded capabilities in application areas that generate particular latency and mission-critical applications. The discussion explains some of the major issues that the dialogue addresses such as security weaknesses, interoperability gaps, and sustainable design prerequisites. Every conclusion re-iterates the need to focus future research on cross-disciplinary research to come up with more scalable, secure, and eco-friendly embedded systems. The synthesis provides guidance to academic researchers, engineers and practitioners in the industry to utilize the current state of art developments in embedded systems, into the real world.

A RISC-V Based Embedded Security Architecture for Trusted Execution in Industrial Control Systems
type: item
description: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have become more vulnerable to cyber threats as they have emerged in the digital world, in particular, embedded environments that face limits to power, cost, and latency. A new embedded security architecture has been presented in this paper based on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) to support trusted execution within the ICS setting. The first goal is to be able to create a low-overhead, transparent, and scalable system, which is enforcing hardware-based trust but without affecting the real-time performance. The architecture proposed incorporates a lightweight hardware Root of Trust (RoT), secure bootloader, memory protection units (MPUs) and minimal Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) as part of a bespoke RISC-V core. Important architectural updates are register-level TEE isolation, crypto-integrity verification, and hardware-accelerated AES-GCM and SHA-256. The system is run on a 32-bit RV32IM RISC-V and tested against real-time industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA) and code injection, denial-of-service emulations. Through experimental evaluations, it is shown how the architecture is able to attain a security enhancement score of 92.4 % and blocks more than 91 % of the injected threats but without much overhead (execution time overload of 3.9-4.7 %). These results attest the feasibility of code-attestable, hardware-based security assimilation into ICS embedded systems, which makes a potential gateway to open and trusted, scale-able industrial automation.

Lightweight Authentication Protocols for Secure Embedded Communication in LPWAN
type: item
description: Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) have become an essential communication infrastructure enabler of embedded devices with limited resources in use-cases including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and smart cities. Although they are energy-efficient and offer long-range communication services, the LPWANs have fundamental security shortcomings that arise out of the nature of restrictive end devices, which are usually powered over a microcontroller, with limited processing, storage, and energy consumption limits. The conventional authentication techniques like the Transport Layer Security (TLS) or the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) cannot be used in these cases due to the overhead they add in terms of computational resources as well as the memory space. The paper outlines a new set of light techniques of authentication originally targeted to secure embedded communication in low-power, wide-area networking (LPWAN) system with a specific reference to LoRaWAN and NB-IoT technologies. The suggested architecture is based on the combination of hash-based message authentication codes (HMAC), elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) used to conduct public-key operations, and a secure and efficient mutual identification, at the same time allowing maintaining low power consumption. The system targets gadgets using ARM Cortex-M category of microcontrollers and will make sure that it complies with the LPWAN transmission limitations. It includes a strong session key derivation scheme that gives freshness to keys and replay attacks protection. The given protocols were firstly verified with the help of Contiki OS and Cooja simulation and then tested on real devices such as STM32L476RG and nRF52840 embedded substrates. The results of experiments show that the energy efficiency is increased by 35.7 percent and authentication latency is decreased by 47.2 percent over that of the baseline LoRaWAN security. Moreover, the protocol shows…

Energy-Aware Hardware/Software Co-Design for Deep Neural Networks on Reconfigurable Platforms
type: item
description: This paper defines an energy-aware hardware/software co-design system that is optimized to achieve deep neural networks (DNNs) executions on flexible hardware, like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The framework could optimize power consumption and computational performance by coupling fine-grained runtime energy monitoring, adaptive quantization strategy, and dynamic layer-wise hardware mapping. Conventional FPGA-based solutions tend to be lacking a co-ordinated adaptation between a hardware and software level, thus making the overall energy efficiency less than ideal. The proposed method, by contrast, allows smart trade-offs with the energy consumption and model accuracy due to close coupling of the hardware/software optimisation. To validate the framework, a great amount of experimentation is run on widely used DNN models, including ResNet-18 and MobileNetV2 achieving up to 52 decrease in energy consumption and 1.8\times increase in inference throughput, relative to conventional baseline architectures that have not been co-optimized. It gives device portability that successfully supports a wide range of neural network topologies and hardware configurations, supporting it to be particularly fitted to deployment in edge-AI systems, systems with energy needs, and embedded systems, where effectiveness is of the essence.

Graph Signal Processing-Driven Anomaly Detection Framework for Secure Smart Grid Communication Networks
type: item
description: The trend of the implementation of smart grid communication infrastructures with intelligent sensors, edge controllers, and other distributed energy resources have brought in improved competence and increased exposure to the risks associated with cyber-physical anomalies. Traditional procedures of anomaly detection usually fail to preserve underlying topological and time-related consequences that are unique to smart grid architectures. This paper introduces a framework of anomaly detection based on Graph Signal Processing (GSP) and is suitable to a resource-limited communication system in smart grids. The real-time power flow and communication measures can be modeled by the graph signals continuously changing in the graph domain (network topology) so the proposed framework can make it possible to detect anomalous behavior using the spectral analysis and graph-based denoising. The basic GSP processor carries out Graph Fourier Transforms, adaptive spectral filtering and residual signal reconstruction and is developed to run on embedded environments like STM32 and ESP32 microcontrollers. Experimental validation of the IEEE 14-bus and 57-bus benchmark systems establishes that the framework has detection accuracy of 94.6 percent, false positive rate of less than 2.3 percent, and the framework obtains sub-20 milliseconds latency on constrained memory (no more than 512-MB sum) and computational resources (no more than 12-cores). Real-time, edge-based GSP-based anomaly detection is possible;thus these results validate the use of GSP as a scalable and efficient anomaly detector to enhance situational awareness and resilience in next-generation smart grids.

Ultra-Low-Power Embedded Processor for Wearable Healthcare Monitoring
type: item
description: Given that more and more wearable devices focus on continuous real-time health monitoring, energy-efficient embedded processor design is needed to ensure that systems meet consumers expectations in areas such as reliability and power and performance requirements. This article is an implementation, design, and demonstration of an ultra-low-power embedded processor optimally designed towards biomedical signal acquisition and analysis of wearable healthcare apps. The recommended architecture combines with sub-threshold logic sets, on-die non-volatile ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), dynamic-clock gating, and event-driven wake-up engine, so very high energy efficiency can be achieved without losing real time responsiveness. To authenticate the processor performance, prototype system was created and connected with physiological sensors with low power consumption comprising of ECG electrodes, thermistors, and pulse oximetry modules. The processor carries out very lightweight machine learning inference including arrhythmia detection and temperature anomaly classification on quantized neural networks and decision trees through CMSIS-NN and uBoost libraries respectively. The trials were performed on both the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and hypothetical and novel-gathered vital data incorporated into actual operational execution situations. The findings show that the suggested system has as much as 65 per cent fewer active power consumption than that of ARM Cortex-M4 or MSP430FR platform, with an average inference time of 7.8 milliseconds and overall classification accuracy of over 95 per cent on all the observed parameters. Also, the battery life was increased to more than 130 hours on a typical 240 mAh Li-ion cell, proving its applicability to long, maintenance-free wearable applications. The architecture is effective with respect to balancing computing performance and energy savings hence demonstrating the possibility of integrating the intelligent health monitoring abilities in …

AI-Augmented Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration for Adaptive Edge Intelligence in FPGA-Based Systems
type: item
description: Edge computing systems need to support dynamic workloads with low-latency and energy-efficient, flexible processing to be able to operate in real time. A hardware platform, such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can offer a promising platform to satisfy these requirements due to its in-built reconfigurability. Conventional static strategies of reconfiguration though, are not much efficient in adapting to variations at run time leading to poor performance. This article suggests an AI-aided Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) system to support intelligent handling, and scheduling of partial reconfigurable regions (PRRs) in FPGAs via reinforcement learning (RL). The RL agent will dynamically choose configuration bitstreams depending on the workload profiles and environmental context in order to achieve maximum system efficiencies. On a Xilinx Zynq-7000 platform experimental validation gains are up to 42% improvement in energy efficiency and 2.1X reduction in reconfiguration latency over static and heuristic approaches. The presented solution promotes flexibility and payload delivery, which forms a scalable base of real-time intelligence delivery in the field of autonomous vehicles, smart infrastructure, and Industry 5.0.

A Secure Boot and Over-the-Air Firmware Update Framework for Resource-Constrained Embedded IoT Devices
type: item
description: The fact that embedded Internet of Things (IoT) is deployed at a very high rate in some of the most critical areas including industrial automation, healthcare, and smart infrastructure has contributed to an increase in secure and reliable firmware management needs. Nevertheless, the standard encryption procedures are not always practicable to use with ultra-low-power microcontroller as they have severe limitations in memory, computation, and power. The paper proposes a small and adaptable Secure Boot and Over-the-Air (OTA) Firmware Update Framework that is adapted to limited resource-intensive embedded IoT machines. The proposed design provides 2 stage boot loader architecture to provide secure firmware verification and delivery over the boot loader. Digital signature verification is realized using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Cryptographically Secure firmware is implemented using AES-GCM both to encrypt and authenticate. OTA firmware flow is over MQTT/TLS and the rollback protection is done using the version counters. It was prototyped on ARM Cortex-M series microcontrollers, and an implementation of mbedTLS and TinyCrypt libraries. Performance benchmarks demonstrate the system has just 45 ms of boot time overhead and authenticates OTA updates in 70 ms and requires little memory (Flash: +16 KB, RAM: +3 KB). High tampering, spoofing, and replay resistance is ensured by security validation. The framework is a practical, safe, and energy-effective model of end-to-end control over the firmware lifecycle on contemporary embedded IoT devices.

While the traditional computing architectures are reimagined to satisfy the continuously increasing demands for more powerful and efficient computing solutions at the edge, demand for them also increases. With the move to high performance edge computing, we have revisited how we design and implement embedded systems. The heart of this evolution lies in systems that need to process vast unimaginable quantities of data, in real time, some times in resource constrained environments. As a result, this has spurred the creation of highly efficient architectures constrained by performance, power efficiency, and small size. To the extent that the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications at the edge have further accelerated this trend, the boundaries have seemingly been pushed as far as they can go in terms of what’s possible in edge computing. Integrated into smaller, more efficient packages, more powerful processing units have been one of the driv ing forces for this evolution. The rise of these sophisticated System on Chip (SoC) and System on Module (SoM) solutions has seen the fitting of impressive computing capabilities into very small form factors.
