Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a technique for ensuring reliable softcore processor implemented on SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Although FPGA is easy to be attacked by Single Event Upsets (SEUs), it can clear these errors due to its reconfigurability. The circuit failure induced by SEU is able to mitigate and recover using Triple Modular Redundancy and Partial Reconfiguration. However, the reliability of the sequential circuit, such as processor, is not ensured only by these techniques, because the reconfiguration resets the states.We propose the synchronization technique after partial reconfiguration using a interrupt process. Additionally, we implement the Error Correcting Code to local memory to keep its reliability. Proposed system accomplish synchronization process only 6 $\mu s$ time overhead.
