A HARDWARE PLATFORM FOR EVALUATING LOW-ENERGY MULTIPROCESSOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS BASED ON COTS DEVICES ABSTRACT Embedded systems are usually energy constrained. Moreover, in these systems increased productivity and reduced time-to-market are essential for product success. To design complex embedded systems while reducing the development time and cost, there is a great tendency to use “COTS” (commercial off-the-shelf) devices. At system level, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is one of the most effective techniques for energy reduction. Nonetheless, many widely used COTS processors either do not have DVFS or apply DVFS only to processor cores. In this paper, an easy-to-implement COTS based evaluation platform for low-energy embedded systems is presented. To achieve energy saving DVFS is provided for the whole microcontroller (including core, PLL, memory and I/O). Also, facilities are provided for experimenting with fault tolerance techniques. The platform is equippe...
