How to efficiently use the limited resources in an embedded system to obtain optimal performance has also become a very important issue. Reconfigurable and multi-core architectures are promising solutions to this issue. Compared to conventional hardware which fixed functionalities, reconfigurable hardware has better flexibility in using the limited resources in an embedded system. For the same amount of computing resources, conventional hardware can provide a single set of functionalities only. However, reconfigurable hardware can reuse the same resources to provide multiple sets of functionalities at different time points. Developers of embedded systems can also use the reconfigurable technology to satisfy system requirements such as small area, high performance, and low power consumption. The reconfiguration technology is especially suitable for implementing run-time systems such as wireless sensor applications. In the conventional single -core architecture, all loads of computation burdened the only core and the performance is limited to a critical point. This limitation is solved by the multi-core architecture. In the multi-core architecture, all of the cores can share the loads to achieve load balancing and improve the performance substantially by exploring the parallelism of computations. Since adopting both reconfigurability and multi-core architectures can achieve high performance, how to integrate these two technologies to achieve much higher performance is an attractive research issue. The contribution of this special issue is to encourage researchers to publish their experiences in reconfigurable computing technologies, multi-core embedded systems, and the integration of the two research areas.

PROBLEM SOLVED! In an attempt to minimize FreeBSD for nanoBSD I had WITHOUT_FORTH=true in my /etc/src.conf. That apparently breaks the passing of boot flags to the kernel, which causes the kernel to use the VGA output even though boot.config has "-h" and console=comconsole in the loader. On the ALIX, that resulted in a "silent" kernel because it has no VGA. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
