It integrates hardware stacks for timing synchronization (802.1AS-2020) and traffic shaping (802.1Qav and 802.1Qbv) and a low-latency Ethernet MAC. Enhanced reliability features can also be supported, using the optional hardware modules for FRER Frame Replication and Elimination for Reliability (802.1CB) and PSFP Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Qci). The controller core is designed to enable high-precision timing synchronization and flexible yet accurate traffic scheduling. Requiring minimal software assistance for its initialization, it features extremely low and deterministic ingress and egress latencies and simplifies the development of time-aware applications. While operating autonomously, the TSN-EP-10G provides the system with timing information (timestamps, alarms, etc.) that is typically required for the operation of a TSN network endpoint device. Furthermore, it allows the system to define and tune in real time the traffic shaping parameters according to an application’s requirements. The TSN-EP-10G uses standard AMBA® interfaces to ease integration. Its configuration and status registers are accessible via a 32-bit-wide APB bus, and packet data are input and output via 128-bit-wide AXI-Streaming buses. To further expedite and ease the implementation of customer applications, DMA engines providing access to the stream interfaces via a memory-mapped AXI4 master port, and software stacks supporting higher-layer protocols, such as 802.1Qcc, 802.1Qca and SNMP, are optionally available. The TSN-EP is designed with industry best practices and is available in synthesizable RTL source code or as a targeted FPGA netlist. Deliverables provide everything required for a successful implementation, including sample scripts, an extensive testbench, and comprehensive documentation.
