TTE Development Switch<br />

<strong>Time</strong>-<strong>Triggered</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Hard</strong> <strong>Real</strong>-<strong>Time</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Communication</strong><br />

The TT<strong>Ethernet</strong> technology enables hard real-time operation in distributed systems based on <strong>Ethernet</strong><br />

networks. TT<strong>Ethernet</strong> switches maintain the hard real-time data communication and take care of partitioning<br />

among standard <strong>Ethernet</strong>, rate-constrained and time-triggered <strong>Ethernet</strong> message traffic. High-priority timetriggered<br />

messages are routed through the switch according to a predefined schedule with transport delay<br />

jitter in the sub-microsecond range. All other <strong>Ethernet</strong> messages are <strong>for</strong>warded when the bandwidth is<br />

available.<br />

The TTE Development Switch is based on an Altera Stratix II GX FPGA board and offers four 1 Gbit/s ports,<br />

each one connected either via a small <strong>for</strong>m factor pluggable (SFP) module or an RJ-45 connector. The SFP<br />

slots are populated with 850 nm optical LC modules.<br />

Using TTE Load, the configuration data of the TTE Development Switch can be updated via the network. These<br />

data will be stored to its non-volatile memory and will become effective at the next power-up or reset.<br />
