“…The utilization of FPGA for generating different types of PWM for power electronics applications has earned increased attention steadily over the last few years [112]. In [113], a codesign workflow and a runtime architecture for the heterogeneous deployment of multi-rate control algorithms were presented. Code migration toward the FPGA exploits high-level synthesis, while a Linux-Xenomai dual-kernel operating system manages the synchronization and parallel execution of tasks.…”

In the Machine Learning (ML) era, faced with challenges, including exponential multi-sensor data, an increasing number of actuators, and data-intensive algorithms, the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is standing on a new footing. In particular, the Flight Management System (FMS) plays an essential role in UAV design. However, the trade-offs between performance and SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) and reliability–efficiency are challenging to determine for such a complex system. To address these issues, the identification of a successful approach to managing heterogeneity emerges as the critical question to be answered. This paper investigates Heterogeneous Computing (HC) integration in FMS in the UAV domain from academia to industry. The overview of cross-layer FMS design is firstly described from top–down in the abstraction layer to left–right in the figurative layer. In addition, the HC advantages from Light-ML, accelerated Federated Learning (FL), and hardware accelerators are highlighted. Accordingly, three distinct research focuses detailed with visual-guided landing, intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Detection (FDD), and controller-embeddable Power Electronics (PE) to distinctly illustrate advancements of the next-generation FMS design from sensing, and computing, to driving. Finally, recommendations for future research and opportunities are discussed. In summary, this article draws a road map that considers the heterogeneous advantages to conducting the Flight-Management-as-a-Service (FMaaS) platform for UAVs.

“…While the list of candidates is long, including graphic processing units (GPUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), microcontroller units (MCUs), and their combinations, FPGAs seem to be the most promising control platform owing to their ability to perform calculations in a highly pipelined and parallelized manner [9]. In particular, FPGA-based system-on-chips (SoCs), that combine the advantages of an FPGA with multiple processor cores in one silicon chip, are frequently used in both academia [13], [14] and industry [15].…”

This paper deals with the real-time implementation of a long-horizon finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) algorithm on an embedded system. The targeted application is a medium-voltage drive system which means that operation at a very low switching frequency is needed so that the switching power losses are kept relatively low. However, a small sampling interval is required to achieve a fine granularity of switching, and thus ensure superior system performance. This renders the real-time implementation of the controller challenging. To facilitate this, a high level synthesis (HLS) tool, which synthesizes C++ code into VHDL, is employed to enable a higher level of abstraction and faster prototype development of the real-time solver of the long-horizon FCS-MPC problem, namely the sphere decoder. Experimental results based on a small-scale prototype, consisting of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter and an induction machine, confirm that the algorithm can be executed in real time within the targeted control period of 25 µs.
