Hello,
I’m a french student in an aerospace engineering school. I want to challenge myself so I decided to try to make an OnBoard Computer for a rocket designed by an association. I’m comfortable with C and C++, the programming part should be okay. I’m planning to use FreeRTOS to ease the development.
The association let me choose the board on which the software will run. And that’s where I need you as I know nothing yet about embedded systems. My question is :
Which board should I use for an OBC? The OBC will collect data, do computation, write files and transmit data through antenna all of this very quickly (that is why I chose a RTOS). I also would like to experiment before writing the rocket software, to be comfortable with all the concepts and technology. Ideally I would like to use the same board but I think that it will be an expensive one no? If yes, which board for a beginner like me should I use?
A last question, I learned to use a FPGA in my school, can it be useful in my project? When I look at the advantages, it says that they are slower than SoC...
Thanks a lot for your help and have a nice day!
