Abstract(in English) Embedded devices used for spacecraft, satellites, and space stations are vulnerable to effects of high-energy charged particles. For such embedded devices, reconfigurable devices are expected. When a part of a reconfigurable device is damaged, the configuration context can be changed remotely by using wireless communication. However, configuration contexts also suffer from space radiation while configuration data are transferred with wireless communication and are retained on an EEPROM or a SRAM(EEPROM/SRAM). So, this paper presents an optical buffering technique for a programmable gate array under a space radiation environment. The technique enables rapid recovery of a programmable device that has been damaged by high-energy charged particles. It uses incorrect configuration data including some error bits that have already been damaged by particles while the configuration data are transferred with wireless communication and are retained on an EEPROM/SRAM.
