Abstract
Partial reconfiguration (PR) is fundamental to build- ing adaptive systems on modern FPGA SoCs, where hardware can be adapted dynamically at runtime. Vendor supported reconfiguration is performance limited, drivers entail complex memory management, and software/hardware design requires detailed knowledge of the underlying hardware. This paper presents a collection of abstractions that provide high performance reconfiguration of hardware from within the Linux userspace, automating the process of building PR applications, and adding support for the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ architecture. We compare our abstractions against vendor tooling for PR management and open source tools supporting PR within Linux. Our tools provides automation and abstraction layers, from defining PR configurations through to compiling and packaging Linux with support for userspace PR control, targeted for non- experts.
