A Gigabit, DMA-enhanced Open-Source Ethernet Controller for Mixed-Criticality SystemsThe ongoing revolution in application domains targeting autonomous navigation, first and foremost automotive "zonalization", has increased the importance of certain off-chip communication interfaces, particularly Ethernet. The latter will play an essential role in next-generation vehicle architectures as the backbone connecting simultaneously and instantaneously the zonal/domain controllers. There is thereby an incumbent need to introduce a performant Ethernet controller in the open-source HW c…
