Challenge

Customer developing ESA's Galileo NLES-G2 EGNOS Core Computer required building an FPGA test harness for the satellite ground station message encoding system. 

Solution

Engineers from ULMA Embedded Solutions have developed the firmware of a FPGA in charge on implementing L1/L5 transmission functionalities and E/S external signal management. At the same time, a second FPGA was developed to validate the first one before being integrated in the Core Computer.
