Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

HERMES is the final step to finalize the NG-ULTRA development activity supporting the development of all critical software tools ecosystem and qualifying the NG-ULTRA in ceramic CGA 1752 package.
The HERMES project sets clear and measurable main objectives to reach a TRL 7 from TRL 4 as follows:
1. Development and testing of very complex ceramic hermetic package CGA 1752 – TRL 6 achieved
2. Space ESCC evaluation of the rad-hard FPGA (NG-ULTRA) developed under ESA, CNES and EU projects – TRL 7 achieved
3. Development and validation by end-users of several software tools including BAMBU HLS, Xtratum hypervisor and BL1 – TRL 6 achieved

Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

WP1: Final substrate with Production arrived @ ST; ASSY of the first prototypes in ST Prototyping Line (Grenoble);Successful deployment of the ATE Test HW (Electrical test for Final parts) and Electrical test of the first prototypes (Re-use industrialization activity done on ORGANIC). Delivery of tested prototypes to NX. The column assembly not done.

WP2: Qualification not started. Issue of candidate Final Product Qualification (e–QML) Plan versus latest ESCC evolution done with CNES.

WP3: PandA-Bambu now supports: Functional and loop pipelining, Dataflow architecture and C/C++ Co-simulation. The use-cases evaluation are finalized. Deep learning design flow investigated

WP4: Generated the D4.1 SVS. RTEMS tested according to this SVS. New versions of the software (RTEMS, Linux and XNG) released. XNG ECSS category B delta qualification on-going. PDR review successfully performed. Tools updated according requests from other partners.

WP5: Dissemination on the website and social media have been done. Multiple dissemination activities done by partners: conference, publications, press release and workshop.

Fortschritte, die über den aktuellen Stand der Technik hinausgehen und voraussichtliche potenzielle Auswirkungen (einschließlich der bis dato erzielten sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen und weiter gefassten gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Projekts)

• Reduce the dependence on critical technologies and capabilities from outside Europe for future space applications by providing an ITAR free advanced rad-hard FPGA
• Develop or regain in the mid-term the European capacity to operate independently in space with access to new generation of rad-hard FPGA beyond current state of the art
• Enhance the technical capabilities and overall competitiveness of European space industry satellite vendors on the worldwide market by giving prime access to exportation restriction free high performance technologies
• Work package dedicated to the development of a commercial evaluation of the technology with a full range of recurring products. The future rad-hard FPGA will be available in space qualified package and commercial package with a clear pricing strategy to maximise product dissemination outside space markets
• Improve the overall European space technology landscape and complement the activities of European and national space programmes. HERMES is clearly set up to complement the ongoing ESA/CNES BRAVE project
• HERMES will have clear social and environmental impacts by offering a very versatile technology able to meet multiple applications in various markets with the same device. It will also facilitate SMEs access to advance space applications
