Intellitech: FPGAs and Security
CJ Clark, CEO of Intellitech, discusses FPGA technology and security.
SystemBIST is their IC that provides key ecosystem functions for FPGA based PCBs.
Those functions are FPGA parallel and serial configuration, FPGA Trojan protection, FPGA bitstream security, watch dog timers, periodic event control, power-on reset, embedded JTAG test and an in-the-field update engine.
SystemBIST provides the FPGA configuration over both the high-speed parallel configuration bus as well as over JTAG.
What's different than say using a commodity FLASH or PROM is that the sequence is programmable using our software GUI. You can specify how to program the FPGAs, for instance loading a different bitstream based on what size FPGA is present or based on what daughter boards is present.
