    Addressing Challenges with FPGAs in Space Using the GR716B Microcontroller

    In the realm of space electronics, reliability is paramount. Every component onboard a spacecraft must withstand the harsh conditions of outer space, including extreme temperatures, vacuum, and radiation. Among these components, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) play a crucial role and come with their own set of challenges. Challenges with FPGAs in Space Two significant challenges…

    GR740-MINI Unboxed: A Compact Gateway to Advanced Space Computing

    In this blog post we introduce the GR740-MINI board, a compact evaluation platform for the GR740 rad-hard microprocessor and the CertusPro-NX-RT FPGA. The GR740-MINI packs a lot of computing power into a very small form factor (7×9.5 cm). Furthermore, its FMC+ connector allows to extend the GR740-MINI board with expansions boards connected to the GR740…
