The Ethernet TSN Endstation Controller IP family from Comcores is a comprehensive hardware and software solution for automotive applications. The solution implements Timing & Synchronization (802.1AS), Multiple types of Traffic Shaping (802.1Qav, 802.1Qby, 802.1Qcr), Frame preemption (802.1Qbu), Frame replication & elimination (802.1CB), Steam filtering & policing (802.1Qci), and optional MACsec encryption/decryption (802.1AE).
The solution is designed to provide high-precision time synchronization and accurate traffic scheduling. It supports up to 8 traffic classes, each with a dedicated queue for all ports. It is available in two versions: Ethernet TSN Endstation Controller IP and Ethernet Tiny TSN Endstation Controller IP.
Both versions of the Ethernet TSN Endstation controller IP include a comprehensive software package with device drivers for several operating systems, a software stack for 802.1AS and a complete demonstration system based on Linux.
The solution is available as technology independent RTL source code (System Verilog) or encrypted netlist for ASIC and FPGA implementations. Furthermore, FPGA based hardware platforms are available for evaluation and prototyping.
