VelocityDRIVE™ Software Platform (SP)
The VelocityDRIVE Software Platform (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 is 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.
