View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The increasing use of Linux on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system-on-chip (SoC) in spaceborne computing inherits COTS susceptibility to radiation-induced failures like soft errors. Modern SoCs exacerbate this issue as aggressive transistor scaling reduces critical charge thresholds to induce soft errors and increases radiation effects within densely packed transistors, degrading overall reliability. Linux's monolithic architecture amplifies these risks, ...
