Matra BAe Dynamics/Nallatech have undertaken the task to produce a fully generic Hardware In The Loop facility designed to flexibly test imaging IR systems. The system was required to allow real hardware and their software models to be seamlessly interchanged including a fully reconfigurable interface to whatever hardware was being tested. This required the adoption of a flexible design methodology to allow the traditional boundaries between hardware and software design to 'blur'. This paper describes the methods used to achieve these design aims. It concentrates in the use of the C programming language to define both the hardware (in the form of reconfigurable FPGA devices) and the software to be used in the system giving concrete examples of the benefits and disadvantages of such an approach. It shows that such an approach can lead to the creation of a system which is cheaper to maintain, easier to modify for new requirements and generally more flexible than conventional strict partitioned systems.
