1. Automotive Ethernet Testing and Development
Achieving Quality and Interoperability through Standardized Tests

2. Automotive Safety Matters
Many fear airplanes but vehicles are much more dangerous
Automotive safety saves lives
224 fatalities (2013)
1.25 million fatalities (2013)
(one square = 250 fatalities worldwide)

3. Cars are Getting Safer Great improvements have been made
Vehicle technology is a big part of these improvements
Testing is a critical part of the improvement process
Annual fatalities in the US have gone down roughly 40% from their peak in the early 1970s…
… and taking into account increases in driving, the reduction is even more significant

4. Automotive Emissions Matters

5. Cars are also Getting Greener…
Vehicle makers have responded to concerns over global warming and smog-related health issue by dramatically reducing emissions
Finely-tuned emission control systems require advanced technology, and in turn, better testing products and methodologies

6. Autonomous Driving – The Future is Now!

7. State of Ethernet in Cars:
TOO BIG TO FAIL!!
Many production plans in place (freight train a running)

8. Ethernet vs. CAN

9. Vehicle Network Traffic Growth

10. Why Standardized Testing?
Promotes efficiency
More companies / people involved the better coverage and maturity is achieved
Standardized testing can reduce manufacturer liability
AVB / TSN Suite
TCP/IP Suite

11. OPEN Alliance TC8 Test (TCP/IP)

12. Example ARP Test and Report
Vehicle Spy – Automated TC8 Test Setup
Vehicle Spy TC8 Report (customizable)

13. Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) / Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)
Ethernet is designed to just send packets quickly, not in a deterministic or consistent manner
AVB (later renamed TSN) defines a set of protocols that allow high-quality audio and video streaming over standard Ethernet (including BroadR-Reach)
Implemented in AVB-aware bridges and endpoint devices
Key elements:
Clock synchronization (gPTP)
Mechanism for defining streams and reserving network bandwidth (SRP)
Traffic shaping algorithm for steady data delivery (FQTSS)
Special transport protocol for A/V data (AVTP)

14. Real gPTP and AVB Stream Traffic in Vehicle Spy

15. RAD-Galaxy: Key Features
Open Alliance TC2 and Broadcom
approved EMC connectors
Gigabit Ethernet to the PC
10 ns Timestamp accuracy across all Nets
enough for most advanced IEEE features
8x CAN-FD
6x Active TAPs
1x LIN
MICS / IO
Automotive Power Supply (5.5v – 40v)
Extruded aluminum Enclosure
Automotive Grade Temperature range -40 to +85 DegC

16. Future Rapidly Developing
IEEE 802.1Qbu – Frame Preemption
IEEE 802.1Qbv – Time Aware Scheduler
RAD-Galaxy’s FPGA (SoC) can be upgraded with no HW changes to support advanced functionality.

17. …100% of them are affected by vehicle safety and emissions.
Summary
…100% of them are affected by vehicle safety and emissions.
Nearly 4 billion
people live
in city centers…
Automotive testing matters!
Automotive Ethernet is going to be a big part of the solution for future emissions and safety improvements but its more complicated than CAN.
Standardization in testing can improve efficiency and reduce liability.
Your work affects billions of people so do it well.
