While FPGAs offer a number of benefits for aerospace applications, they are highly susceptible to single event effects (SEE) when exposed to high-radiation environments. These upsets can cause undesirable behaviour within the system, and potentially lead to catastrophic system failure. Students will build upon existing work to develop a novel FPGA configuration scrubber to overcome these effects using an external microcontroller.
