Firstly, an evolvable IP core capable of bitstream relocation is customized using the technology of early stage accession to partial reconfiguration provided by Xilinx. And original bitstream files are presynthesized to form a partial bitstreams library stored in the CF memory for the system to call. Then a self-evolving system based on system on a programmable chip is built, in which the soft processor, MicroBlaze, is utilized as the evolution controller and the discrepancy configuration is adopted for the real-time adjustment of the circuit topology of the evolvable IP core. Finally, the system structure and the self-evolving mechanisms are verified by the online evolution of digital image filters implemented on the Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA development board, ML507. The experimental results show that the proposed evolutionary mechanisms can reduce the storage space of bit stream files and accelerate the speed of evolution significantly.
