The paper is about integration of hardware, developed with adaptive approach (so called “adaptive hardware”), in computing systems. The main goal of the article is to describe the method of adaptive hardware integration in conventional computing systems on hardware level as well as on software level.
Interfacing adaptive hardware and conventional computing system are made with well-known memory mapping method, when the piece of hardware on a bus is represented as a set of registers in the dedicated memory region.
As the result, the tools for automated creation of the bus peripheral device where designed, so any piece of adaptive hardware may be interfaced to the bus, for example, the AXI bus. A technique for adaptive hardware device driver development was described. These achievements have made the use of adaptive hardware much simpler for real-world applications.
