FlexRay

^TTXUniversal Control Unit is a high-performance, stacked-board expansion system for distributed hard real-time systems, which conforms to the FlexRay specifications.

FlexRay conformance and physical layer tests
The device enables developers to evaluate distributed automotive applications on targets configured with the same host CPU, communication controller and physical layer as implemented in the car. It allows performing FlexRay conformance and physical layer tests as well as testing of FlexRay components from different suppliers in one single network.

Evaluation of FlexRay systems
An evaluation system based on ^TTXUniversal Control Unit permits the use of the same topology, cables, common mode filter, protective circuit and transceivers as being used in the car. Other parameters such as termination resistors, split grounding values and capacitive load can be configured effortlessly. All the components of ^TTXUniversal Control Unit such as host CPU, network controller and physical layer can be exchanged and combined as required for a specific test application.
