Soft-Error Injection System for Processor on FPGA Platform.

This paper presents a soft-error injection system on the FPGA platform using an ARM Cortex-M3 processor. The system consists of an error injector that generates random numbers using a Fibonacci linear feedback shift register to introduce errors into an application program status register. The efficacy of the soft-error injection system is assessed and validated on an FPGA platform employing Xilinx XCKU115. Additionally, a user interface is created to configure and test the error-injection system. The system is capable of simulating both single-event transient and single-event upset errors, and it can determine the error duration before returning to the previous error-free state. The soft-error injection system is a valuable tool for evaluating the dependability of embedded systems used in industries such as automotive, industrial control, and consumer electronics.
