After thorough development and careful design of a router platform, InnoRoute now offers a robust, ready-to-use network processing platform with maximum configurability for research and teaching purposes.
Existing commercial systems barely allow customization and usually offer proprietary configuration languages and operating systems.
Available research platforms usually require manual assembly and maker skills.
The TrustNode Research Edition provides the best balance between readiness and configurability.
Develop your own algorithms as software on the Atom and then port it into accelerator structures inside the FPGA.
Top features include
High accuracy packet control and traffic measurement: generate, modify, switch, and analyze packets with high precision
Line Speed packet processing with integrated Xilinx FPGA
Comfortable software control through integrated Intel Atom processor using provided software packages and driver
Easily extendable FPGA design and Linux software stack
Expert-level support and TrustNode community access
Technical description
- Atom processor (1.9 GHz Quad- Core with 4 GB of RAM) running reference Linux distribution
- FPGA (134.6 kLUTs, 269.2 kFFs, 12.8 Mb BRAM) configured with the TrustNode router design, which can be modified or replaced by users. It consumes about 50% of the FPGA‘s resources
- Ultra-low latency of 2.5 μs (cut-through) and jitter below 1μs
- Supporting Synchronous Ethernet
- Interfaces: 12 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, Console port, USB3.0 and USB2.0 ports, and SD-Card interface to the Atom processor
- Integrated system monitoring and smart cooling
- Size: 19″, 1.5U (W 440mm, H 69mm, D 228mm), 2.5 kg
Samples can be seen at embedded world 2017 in Nuremberg at the booths of InnoRoute’s partners CAD-UL and TQ-Systems.
