      Multi-RAID SSD NVMe Streamer System

      ,

      Collaboration to develop a high performance, Multi-RAID SSD Streaming System to incorporate into high performance data recording systems for the US Defense Dept.

      DEC is a Government Contractor working with the US Defense Dept. When we needed to develop a fast, SSD multi-RAID NVMe streamer for one of our projects, we became aware of Missing Link Electronics by way of Xilinx’s Premier Partners Program.

      This project required advanced knowledge of both specialized hardware and communication protocols to meet our customers exacting requirements. MLE came in, evaluated our needs, and developed the technical design using their own NVMe IP and in-depth hardware and software expertise to provide, on time and on budget, a board level solution to integrate into our system design. MLE provided unique benefit by having great access to our supplier’s technology, advanced IP, and specialized, hands-on expertise. I recommend MLE to others needing advanced expertise in programmable hardware and software design. Working with them is a pleasure and produces excellent results.

      DEC and MLE Collaborate on Multi-RAID SSD NVMe Streamer System

      ,

      Today DEC (Defense Engineering Corporation, Beavercreek, OH USA) and MLE (Missing Link Electronics, Inc., San Jose, CA USA) announced they have collaborated to develop a high performance, Multi-RAID SSD Streaming System to incorporate into high performance data recording systems for the US Defense Dept. The system will be provided by DEC.

      Dan Whitehead adds: “DEC is a Government Contractor working with the US Defense Dept. When we needed to develop a fast, SSD multi-RAID NVMe streamer for one of our projects, we became aware of Missing Link Electronics by way of Xilinx’s Premier Partners Program.

      Andreas Schuler, MLE Product Engineering, commented: “When we were approached by DEC we were happy to see that our long-time affiliation with the Xilinx Premier Partners Program provided a challenging opportunity to work with a top-notch engineering team at DEC. We were successfully able to combine our NVMe Streamer technology with DEC’s expertise in providing system-level technology to the US Defense Department. This produced an excellent result in which both companies take pride.”

      DEC specializes in advanced sensor and processing technologies for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Unmanned Systems, and Self-Protection applications for the defense industry.

      MLE is an intellectual property (IP) and software and hardware design services company based in San Jose, CA. It is a proud member of the Xilinx Premier Partners Program. MLE utilizes an extensive catalog of in-house developed IP for network connectivity, storage protocols and I/O interfaces for programmable platforms in its work. It develops solutions for international commercial, automotive, and Defense and Aerospace customers.

      MLE Becomes Premier MicroSemi Design Partner

      MLE has joined the Microchip Ecosystem as a Premier Design Partner. "Our customers have asked us to extend MLE's design services to include MicroSemi's FPGA families. In particular for industrial applications MicroSemi's PolarFire seems to provide a great combination of longterm availability, cost-efficiency and high-speed I/Os needed for PCIe and/or 10 Gigabit Ethernet.", says Endric Schubert, CTO and Co-Founder.

       

      MLE Supports PCO with TCP/IP for Camera Systems

      ,

      MLE has been providing to PCO a connectivity solution based on the Network Protocol Acceleration Platform from Fraunhofer HHI. The key objective is to scale along with increasing image sensor resolutions and frame rates and to provide reliable image transfers – using the well-known TCP/IP protocol – from FPGAs to standard server equipment with data rates up to 100 Gbps.

      High-Speed Camera Interfaces with Fraunhofer HHI TCP/IP

      ,

      Excelitas PCO GmbH has licensed MLE NPAP, the TCP/UDP/IP Full Accelerator originally invented by Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI).

      Martin Schwarzbauer, Product Development Manager Camera Systems at PCO, says: “We rely on the TCP protocol because we need reliable data without a backup layer for lost data at the application level. TCP takes place at the center protocol layer of the OSI model and is implemented as an IP core in FPGA logic. This results in significantly shorter latency, avoiding costly external DRAM buffers. Plus, due to the flow-control mechanism of TCP, the transmission bandwidth can be much higher between the between the camera and subsequent processing in a PC.”

      Alexander Grünig, CTO of PCO, adds: “The IP core from Missing Link Electronics fits perfectly our streaming concept, because it operates in programmable logic without the need for a CPU core. During our benchmarking and evaluation phase we clearly saw the advantages of this technology.”

      PCO, an Excelitas Technologies® Corp. brand, is a leading specialist and Pioneer in Cameras and Optoelectronics with more than 30 years of expert knowledge and experience of developing and manufacturing high-end imaging systems. The company’s cutting edge sCMOS and high-speed cameras are used in scientific and industrial research, automotive testing, quality control, metrology and a large variety of other applications all over the world.

      The PCO® advanced imaging concept was conceived in the early 1980s by imaging pioneer, Dr. Emil Ott, who was conducting research at the Technical University of Munich for the Chair of Technical Electrophysics. His work there led to the establishment of PCO AG in 1987 with the introduction of the first image-intensified camera followed by the development of its proprietary Advanced Core technologies which greatly surpassed the imaging performance standards of the day.

      Today, PCO continues to innovate, offering a wide range of high-performance camera technologies covering scientific, high-speed, intensified and FLIM imaging applications across the scientific research, industrial and automotive sectors.

      Acquired by Excelitas Technologies in 2021, PCO represents a world renowned brand of high-performance scientific CMOS, sCMOS, CCD and high-speed cameras that complement Excelitas’ expansive range of illumination, optical and sensor technologies and extend the bounds of our end-to-end photonic solutions capabilities.

      MLE Joins Github Project CORUNDUM for In-Network Compute

      CORUNDUM.io is an open-source project hosted at Github for building high-performance FPGA-based Network-Interface Cards (NIC) or in-network compute platforms / SmartNICs. “Our motivation for joining is to build better and more cost-effective SmartNIC solutions by complementing FPGA Full Acceleration using NPAP, the TCP/IP Stack that I started at Fraunhofer HHI, with a performance oriented hardware/software infrastructure”, says Ulrich Langenbach, Director Engineering at Missing Link Electronics. Engineering work plans include enhancing support for Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and for porting CORUNDUM to some of MLE’s partners’ FPGA boards.

      Wie Auto-TSN PCIe mit Ethernet zur Datenübertragung kombiniert

      Unser Beitrag für die PCI-SIG Virtual Developers Conference 2021 wurde als Artikel in der Zeitschrift Automobil Elektronik abgedruckt.

      Auto/TSN ist der Arbeitstitel für eine Technologie, mit der automotive Daten samt PCIe via Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) übertragen werden können. PCI Express (PCIe) kennen viele Entwickler und Anwender aus dem PC, beispielsweise als Anschluss für die Grafikkarte oder für schnelle NVMe-Massenspeicher. Ebenso bekannt ist Ethernet, mit dem sich zu Hause oder im Büro Rechner und Drucker usw. vernetzen lässt. IEEE Ethernet in Form von 100/1000Base-T1 fährt heute bereits auf der Straße. Aber warum wird PCIe immer mehr ein Thema im Automobil-Bordnetz? Was bedeutet PCIe im Fahrzeug und wie kann PCIe eingesetzt werden, sodass das Gesamtsystem zuverlässig ist?
