Abstract

The current trend in the system development and the competition among manufacturers motivate both the designers and developers to improve the performance of systems and decrease the power consumption but not at the cost expense of those systems. Today, the Field Programmable Gate Array-based embedded systems is considered as the preferred computational platforms due to multi key features of these platforms including the reconfigurability, flexibility, short-time to marketing, and etc. The advanced technologies and the facilities presented via these technologies pushed towards real-time and multi-functional systems, which encourages the designers and developers to replace the single processing unit by those units with the ability to process multiple data per time. Many mechanisms can be applied over the field programmable gate array platforms to provide the ability for multi-processing and the true parallelism. Therefore, in this paper, the advantages of applying the true parallelism over the Altera Nios II Embedded Cyclone V (DE1-SoC) board are presented. The true parallelism was used to design and implement a laser missile frequency jamming system. The true parallelism is combined with the FPGA features, which improves designed system in many aspects such as increasing the system throughput, decreasing the system cost, the power consumption of the system, and the system complexity. This paper provides a presentation of the system modules, the functionality of each of these modules, and the results obtained from the LCD and Seven Segment of the (DE1-SoC), (DE2-115) board.
