The growing complexity of modern systems demands advanced hardware solutions, with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures playing a pivotal role. However, the intricate nature of FPGA/SoC development requires structured systems engineering methodologies to ensure reliability, performance, and resilience—especially in demanding environments.

– Leveraging Systems Engineering for FPGA/SoC Development –
To tackle these challenges, systems engineering principles are essential for:

• Managing complexity by structuring FPGA/SoC designs with comprehensive requirements models.

• Optimizing functional allocation through effective partitioning techniques for heterogenous architectures.

• Enhancing validation & verification by integrating fault injection for functional correctness and sensor fault impact analysis.

• Accelerating deployment and minimizing development time.
