Silicon Valley Company unveils the first automotive architecture exploration platform with TimeSensitive Networking (IEEE802.1Q) protocol
Sunnyvale, CA. — January 9th, 2019 — Mirabilis Design announced the immediate availability ofTime-Sensitive Networking (IEEE802.1Q) protocol in the VisualSim AI-based Automotive Architecture
Exploration Platform, an unique library of network protocols, electronics, software components and ahigh-performance modeling and simulation platform. Using this exploration platform, Architects ofautomotive networks, Electronic Control Unit and automotive parts makers (hardware and software)
can construct virtual rapid prototypes of their proposed solution, simulate with use cases andworkloads, apply failure cases and evaluate the generated reports. Design teams have seen a 30%
increased productivity and a fully validated design that eliminates surprises during integration.
“Automotive architects require multiple analytical tools for architecture exploration of their automotivesystem” said Deepak Shankar, Founder, Mirabilis Design. “VisualSim provides a single platform toexplore all aspects of the automotive architecture at an extremely high-level of accuracy, with validated
libraries that are user-customizable. This methodology accelerates model construction for those
designing new automotive parts and those enhancing standards”.
The VisualSim Time Sensitive Networking supports the following protocols:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

TSN supports IEEE802.1Qbv- Time Aware Shaping
TSN supports IEEE8201.Qbu and IEEE 802.3br- Preemption
TSN supports IEEE 802.1Qca- Path Control and Reservation
TSN supports IEEE 802.1Qcc- Stream Reservation protocol
TSN supports IEEE 802.1Qci- Per stream filtering and policing
TSN supports IEEE 802.1QCB- frame replication and elimination
TSN supports IEEE 802.1Qch- Cyclic frequency and forwarding
TSN supports IEEE 802.1AS- Enhanced generic Precision Time Protocol

The library is provided with complete source code and enables the user to either construct networks orenhance the protocol for next-generation standards. The library contains the router, bridges, networklinks, interface to wireless and CAN, ECU link, routing algorithms, schedulers, traffic shapers and timeVisualSim Automotive Library with Time-Sensitive Networking (IEEE802.1Q) protocol enables explorationof vehicle networks, electronics and software for highly responsive and minimal cost solution forautonomous driving and enhanced driver assistance.

synchronization. The statistics generated include packet latency for CDT, AVB and BE frames, linkthroughput, buffer occupancy, activity trace, monitoring for send slope and idle slope, and quality ofservice.
VisualSim Automotive is equipped with modeling components, analysis tools and simulation profiles.
User can simulate the system specification for traffic and user cases to get an accurate measurement of
the performance, deadlines, power consumption and failure analysis. The current VisualSim Automotive
library contains CAN, CAN-FD, Time-Triggered-Ethernet, FlexRay, software profiler, processors, RTOS,FPGA and other hardware components.

The addition of this Time Sensitive Network protocols

completes the full package and can be immediately used by automotive designers.
This VisualSim library can be used by:•Network architects can determine the router configuration, connectivity of the sensors and ECUand size the network pipes.

•ECU architects can select the processors, performance hardware-software partitioning andidentify system bottlenecks.

•Parts vendors can evaluate the performance of their software or hardware when loaded on anexisting ECU and network at the OEM.

VisualSim TSN Library is available as an add-on to VisualSim Architect 19.1, the modeling and simulation
platform from the Mirabilis Design. This product is used extensively in designing products fromautomotive networks and safety critical systems to processors and System-on-Chip. VisualSim Architect19.1 and its add-on - VisualSim Automotive Library is available on Windows, Linux, and MAC OS.
