For this particular application, the main advantage is that the used LEON2 is free and open source (LGPL). The radiation hard FPGA will protect the system from most radiation effects, but even if the system hangs it is not mission critical and can be reset by a watch-dog or similar. For more info on the LEON processors, you can look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEON Jiri. > > Russ > > On Thu, Sep 28, 2017 at 10:56 AM, Joel Sherrill <j...@rtems.org > <mailto:j...@rtems.org>> wrote: > > Hi > > We made a flyer a few years back about the Dawn mission. > > https://www.rtems.com/sites/default/files/Application-Dawn-2011-10.pdf > <https://www.rtems.com/sites/default/files/Application-Dawn-2011-10.pdf> > > Looks like we don't know a lot about the framing camera we know runs > RTEMS beyond it being a LEON2.
