T609-26ED
OCP-IP building blocks for Space-SoC
"Open Cores Protocol" (OCP) is an emerging standard set of requirements and tools that are being successfully applied to
facilitate IP Cores reuse, easier integration and compatibility between different on-chip bus systems (CAN, AMBA, SpaceWire,
I2C, etc). The activity would be about designing OCP-IP modules for our existing ESA IP Cores, so future space-SoC can
make use of ESA OCP compliant building blocks.
Deliverables:
OCP-IP modules architecture.

Title:
Standardisation of spacecraft onboard communication services
Until recently, standardisation efforts within the realm of onboard spacecraft have concentrated on physical interfaces and
associated protocols. Such activities have been handled by the Consultative Committee for Space data standardisation (
CCSDS) or the ECSS. Within these standardisation bodies emphasis is now being placed on the definition of communication
services and protocols which allow independence from the underlying hardware and thus open up the possibility for software
re-use across multiple missions. This has the potential to significantly reduce spacecraft development times and associated
costs. As part of the ongoing work of the Spacecraft Onboard Interface Services (SOIS) group within the CCSDS,
recommendations for a suite of communication services are well advanced and will be made available in draft form before the
end of 2006. In order achieve final publication, the draft recommendations must be prototyped and verified in a representative
spacecraft environment. This activity will cover there required prototyping, integration and test on an existing ESA test-bed
infrastructure. Results will be incorporated by ESA into the final CCSDS recommendation which will subsequently be adopted
by ESA for potential application to all spacecraft projects. The software should take the form of reference libraries which can
be made available for use by ESA projects.
Deliverables:
Software implementing the CCSDS defined services and protocols
