Abstract (EN): We report on work in progress that aims to provide a run-time management kernel for applications running on FPGAs with embedded CPUs. We describe the global concept, the organization of the hardware environment for the reconfigurable modules and the reconfiguration strategy supported by the run-time management kernel. Practical issues concerning the implementation of the system on a Virtex-II Pro-based board are also addressed.
