FPGA based functional safety control logic (FFSCL)

One or more non-transitory machine-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, if executed, result in:

• partitioning logical elements of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) into a first section to implement one or more safety cores and a second section to implement one or more non-safety cores;
• coupling the FPGA via a trusted execution environment (TEE) to a remote administrator over a network;
• receiving a configuration for the FPGA from the remote administrator;
• applying the configuration to the FPGA;
• and
• sending failover data to the remote administrator, and receiving an updated configuration from the remote administrator for the FPGA based at least in part on machine learning applied to the failover data from one or more crowdsourced analytics.

A system to implement functional safety control logic (FSCL), comprising:

• a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) comprising logic elements to be partitioned into a first section to implement one or more safety cores and a second section to implement one or more non-safety cores;
• a memory to couple to the safety core or to the non-safety core;
• a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver;
• and
• a trusted execution environment (TEE) to couple to a remote administrator over a network via the RF transceiver, and to apply a configuration received via the RF transceiver from the remote administrator to the FPGA;
• wherein the safety core is to function as an active agent for FSCL during operation, and the non-safety core is to function as a failover agent during operation, and wherein the non-safety core is to perform a liveliness check on the safety core to monitor for a failover and to take over as the active agent in the event of a failover;
• and
• wherein the FPGA includes a soft microcontroller (MCU) trusted execution environment (TEE) agent, and wherein the soft MCE TEE agent is to log the failover, or initiate a policy configured action, or a combination thereof, in response to the failover.
