Overview

Software solution targeting the configuration of Ethernet switches and endpoints in TSN networks

Centralized Network Configurator or CNC is a component used in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) networks. The CNC monitors data streams while coordinating and managing network configuration. The CNC is based on the stream reservation protocol (802.1 Qcc) to optimize the efficient use of network resources and provide Quality of Service (QoS).

The software component of the CNC can give solutions for complex tasks such as Topology selection, Traffic type assignment, Routing, Scheduling and Bandwidth allocation.

The Comcores CNC targets TSN nodes such as endpoints and switches. It receives stream requests, collects the capabilities of the network entities, calculates the optimal configuration, and applies the configuration to the network entities.

Comcores CNC is demonstrated on a Raspberry Pi model B revision 1.2 and the machine hosting CNC must support a Linux operating system. Comcores CNC is a software solution suitable targeting the configuration of Ethernet switches and endpoints in TSN networks.

Key features

Delivers Performance

  • Support for both dynamic and incremental client-based stream planning
  • CNC Planning features based on different user-defined constraints, such as:
  • End-to-end latency
  • Incremental planning mode enables the addition of new data streams without affecting existing scheduled data streams
  • Netconf/YANG model-based deployment
  • Standardized Netconf 1.1 client interface towards TSN devices, and Netconf 1.1 server interface towards CUC

What Makes Ethernet IP Truly Automotive-Grade

This blog examines what separates truly automotive-grade Ethernet IP from generic implementations across functional safety, time-sensitive networking, security, observability, lifecycle management, and the integration disciplines that only become visible once a program is deep into development.

How Time Sensitive Networking powers the Software Defined Vehicle

Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) are turning cars into distributed real-time computing platforms. Instead of dozens of standalone ECUs connected by a tangle of legacy field buses, we now see zonal controllers aggregating local I/O, centralized compute platforms running safety, mission critical software, and a service-oriented middleware layer stretching across the vehicle.

Part 2: Opening the 5G Radio Interface

Carriers are now deploying 5G across the globe driven by the need to keep up with relentless mobile data growth. 5G New Radio (NR) operates at higher frequencies to increase bandwidth, but at the expense of range. There will therefore be a need for a much larger number of 5G RUs to provide the same coverage. The availability of cost-effective, reliable and open 5G radio units is therefore critical.

Cortex-M And Classical Series ARM Architecture Comparisons

ARM has introduced many processors. Each set or groups of processors are having different core and different Features. A new entrant or Designer to the ARM can make use of this paper for easy understanding and choose a processor that is well suited for the requirements. This paper gives brief comparison of the Architectures.
