Evaluation of in-vehicle networks

Software-Defined Vehicles

 

The growing complexity of software-defined vehicles and zonal architectures puts enormous pressure on in-vehicle networks to deliver deterministic, time-critical communication. Automotive Ethernet and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) as a part of this, has become the backbone for these architectures – but only if its timing, bandwidth, and robustness can be validated with high confidence across all development stages.

The TSN Systems Automotive Ethernet Validation Toolchain (CoreSolution and BasicSolution) provides an end-to-end environment for exactly this task. It combines high-precision hardware interfaces with powerful analysis, visualization, and automation software to capture and evaluate network behaviour under realistic conditions – from early lab setups over HiLs to in vehicle integration tests.

Engineers can verify synchronization, scheduling, quality of service and redundancy concepts, detect corner cases, and regress issues quickly using repeatable test scenarios. By unifying measurement, stimulation, and reporting in a single toolchain, TSN Systems helps development teams dramatically shorten validation cycles while increasing confidence in TSN-enabled E/E architectures.

Benefits of Validation and Evaluation

Analysis

Time savings in analysis
and troubleshooting

The development of safety-critical applications such as ADAS, infotainment and SDV architectures requires reliable and precise test equipment.

The TSN CoreSolution 3 & 4 supports developers in AVB, Audio and ECU validations with 100% error detection – ideal for laboratory, integration and validation in the vehicle.

Ethernet meets Audio Bus

The integration of A²B in vehicle networks often presents developers with validation challenges: audio quality, latencies and synchronization must be precisely checked.

The TSN CoreSolution 3.2 A²B supports engineers with precise measurement equipment for the analysis and validation of A²B interfaces.

This allows developers to efficiently develop & secure audio and control devices.

I really like the parallel tracking of the TSN Systems solution. I can monitor and coordinate A2B, Ethernet, and characteristic data simultaneously, which makes debugging much easier.
