Explains what FPGA profiles are and how they enable flexible hardware configuration for specific features
This document outlines the structure and requirements for FPGA profiles used within the system architecture.
FPGA Profile
Enables the activation or deactivation of specific software features assisted by field-programmable gate array hardware. This feature optimizes platform resource allocation to support multiple time-sensitive and resilient industrial protocols without requiring physical hardware modifications.
Prerequisites
Provides guidelines for managing FPGA Profile configurations during transitions. This ensures system stability by preventing the application of invalid settings after a profile change.
Guidelines and limitations
Provides guidelines and limitations for configuring FPGA profiles on switches. These requirements ensure proper feature support and system stability during upgrades and configuration changes.
Default settings
Provides info on the default FPGA Profile name.
Configure an FPGA profile
Activates a specific FPGA profile on the switch to enable required feature sets. This procedure requires a system reload to apply the changes.
Feature history
Provides a summary of the release history for the FPGA Profile feature. This information helps users identify the initial support versions across different hardware platforms.
