VelocityDRIVE™ Software Platform (SP)
VelocityDRIVE SP is a turnkey L3 switch application for managing Microchip automotive TSN switches. It includes a binary code image that can be fully configured using the VelocityDRIVE Configuration Tool (CT). VelocityDRIVE SP a cost-effective Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) that is designed to run on memory-constrained systems with memory requirements in the 512 KB to 2048 KB range. VelocityDRIVE SP contains full-switch feature support and offers a CORECONF/YANG-based management interface that implements standardized YANG models.

Standardizing Software Abstraction in Automotive Ethernet
Software plays a critical role in next-generation, Ethernet-based vehicles, and standardization can help development teams get to market quicker. This webinar explores software abstraction principles, including Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) data modelling for network management. We will also discuss the hardware requirements for Ethernet switches, and you will walk away with an understanding of what’s needed from hardware and how best to configure it.
