AES example using Galapagos Framework

This is an example project used to demonstrate the usage of the Galapagos framework. This project has a heterogeneous system including CPU and FPGA, which uses libGalapagos library and Galapagos Shell, respectively. You can find the software project under the software folder. Re-create the hardware project by going to the hardware folder. In order to create both software and hardware projects, you have to go carefully through the README files provided in those folders.

Brief Explanation of AES Project

This project has five kernels. The init_kern is responsible for initializing the key exchange cores and sending the plain text to the encryption core. It also gets the deciphered text from the decryption core. Two cores, key_core_one and key_core_two, are responsible for generating the AES cores' shared secret. Two cores, kern_enc and kern_dec, are AES-128-based HLS cores used to cipher/decipher data. The first three kernels have been implemented on software, and the enc/dec cores have been developed on FPGA.

P.S.: This project initially was a course project for ECE 1373 course at UofT. However, we found it educational for future developers working with the Galapagos framework.
