This paper presents a new test-bench based on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA that implements an embedded system using a PowerPC 440 microprocessor hard core and custom IP cores. A light Linux version runs on the PowerPC microprocessor and handles the IP cores which implement the different functionalities needed to perform the desired tests such as TTCvi emulation, G-Link decoding, ADC control and data reception.", optnote="WOS:000336123200023", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1801), last updated on Fri, 20 Jun 2014 10:09:24 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/9/03/C03023", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/9/03/C03023", language="English" }
