TrustNode Router

The TrustNode Router is a highly customizable, low-latency networking platform ideal for research, development, and demanding applications requiring precise timing and control.

Description

The TrustNode Router is a highly customizable, low-latency networking platform designed for research, development, and deployment in demanding environments. It features a unique combination of Intel Atom processor and Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA, enabling flexible software-defined networking (SDN) and precise control over network packets. Ultra-low latency (2.5μs) and high-precision time stamping capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring real-time performance, such as 5G networks and industrial automation. Its open architecture allows users to adapt hardware and software to their specific needs using free tools like Xilinx Vivado Webpack, facilitating research and custom development. The platform supports various standards, including OpenFlow, TSN (Time Sensitive Networking), and Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Features

The TrustNode Router boasts ultra-low latency (2.5μs) and jitter below 1μs, achieved through a combination of Xilinx FPGA and Intel Atom processor. It offers 12 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, supporting Synchronous Ethernet for precise time synchronization. The platform is highly configurable, with customizable FPGA designs using VHDL, Verilog, or HLS. It supports OpenFlow for SDN control and optional TSN and linuxPTP for time-sensitive networking. The system includes comprehensive monitoring and smart cooling. Free Xilinx Vivado Webpack support eliminates the need for expensive toolchains. The platform is available in different versions tailored for research or industrial applications.
