Injecting single event upsets in a digital signal processor by means of direct memory access requests: a new method for generating bit flips
In this paper a novel approach for injecting Single Event Upsets, (SEU), by means of direct memory access, (DMA), mechanisms is presented. The system consists in a PC based control unit that generates DMA requests randomly in time to a board containing the processor under test, and a test unit. Expe...

Summary: | In this paper a novel approach for injecting Single Event Upsets, (SEU), by means of direct memory access, (DMA), mechanisms is presented. The system consists in a PC based control unit that generates DMA requests randomly in time to a board containing the processor under test, and a test unit. Experimentation performed on a digital signal processor intended to be used in a satellite project illustrates the potentialities of the proposed approach. |
