Decentralized Protocol Stacks: Rethinking Communication for Modular FPGA Systems
This topic explores how decentralized principles—borrowed from peer-to-peer networks and blockchain architectures—can inspire new approaches to designing protocol stacks for FPGA-based systems. Instead of relying on rigid, centralized control flows, we’ll look at how modular, self-describing interfaces (e.g., AXI Lite, Wishbone) can be orchestrated to support dynamic communication, fault tolerance, and scalability. Includes practical examples using open-source HDL components and lightweight MACs for Ethernet integration. https://www.myaarpmed
