  • Ethernet to spacewire bridge
    Patent number: 10218614
    Abstract: A system for interfacing Ethernet with SpaceWire comprises a processor including an Ethernet MAC, and a bridge device connected between the processor and a SpaceWire subsystem or network. The bridge device comprises a SpaceWire physical interface that receives SpaceWire data packets, and an Ethernet MAC packet builder that includes digital logic for segmentation of the data packets into Ethernet compatible packet segments. An Ethernet media independent interface receives the packet segments from the packet builder and outputs the packet segments to the Ethernet MAC. The Ethernet media independent interface also receives Ethernet data packets transmitted from the Ethernet MAC.
