PolarFire® FPGAs for the Industrial Edge

PolarFire® SoC FPGAs With Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Transform the Way Intelligent Systems Communicate

Our TSN endpoint solution combines CoreTSN soft IP, which supports traffic shaping, frame preemption and per-stream filtering, with a full Linux®-based TSN software stack that includes PTP and network drivers, all running directly on our PolarFire SoC FPGA. Integrated OPC UA over TSN provides standardized, secure and vendor-neutral communication between devices that enables interoperability across industrial systems. 

TSN Features

  • 1 Gbps TSN stand-alone Ethernet endpoint
  • Time-aware scheduler: IEEE 802.1Qbv
  • Precision Time Protocol (PTP): IEEE 802.1 1588, 802.1AS
  • Frame preemption: IEEE 802.1Qbu
  • Per-stream filtering and policing: IEEE 802.1Qci
  • Linux® drivers for TSN and IEEE 1588

OPC UA Implementation

  • Client-server architecture
  • Integration with the UaExpert® client
