The core of the AVR FlexRay evaluation environment is a 32-bit microcontroller based on Atmel's AVR32 proprietary architecture with FlexRay IP licensed from Bosch. In addition, the environment includes a hardware LIN IP, a dual CAN IP, an Ethernet MAC and a set of general-purpose peripherals. This environment includes also the AVR32 development-tool set, a FlexRay stack, a FlexRay configuration tool and a network analyser. A range of daughter boards is available to implement a complete network, including a gateway function or BLDC motor control. The system is designed to provide high-speed deterministic distributed control for advanced automotive applications. Its dual-channel architecture offers system-wide redundancy that meets the reliability requirements of emerging safety systems. With 10Mbps throughput per channel, the system can also be employed as a vehicle-wide network backbone, working in conjunction with well-established systems, such as CAN and LIN. Samples of the products will be available in the second semester of 2008.
