The invention relates to a device for controlling the braking and/or steering and/or acceleration in a motor vehicle, wherein the device has a number of different sensor components, two diverse sensor fusion components, a man/machine interface component and a preferably intelligent actuator controller component, wherein each of these components constitutes a fault-containment unit and has a TTEthernet communications interface, and wherein all components are connected to a central TTEthernet message distribution unit, and wherein the components communicate with one another exclusively with use of standardized Ethernet messages, and wherein a diagnosis unit for time-correct monitoring of the exchanged messages can be connected to the TTEthernet message distribution unit.

A chassis front-end is disclosed. The chassis front-end may include a switchboard including an Ethernet switch, a Baseboard Management Controller, and a mid-plane connector. The chassis front-end may also include a mid-plane including at least one storage device connector and a speed logic to inform at least one storage device of an Ethernet speed of the chassis front-end. The Ethernet speeds may vary.

A communication network for connecting a plurality of electronic processing units to one another, the network having at least one switch which has at least one input port and one output port for connecting it to the electronic processing units and which is arranged to transmit a data frame of a data stream between at least two of the electronic processing units, the switch having at least one electronic circuit that is arranged to control a transit time of the data frame between the two electronic processing units.

A chassis front-end is disclosed. The chassis front-end may include a switchboard including an Ethernet switch, a Baseboard Management Controller, and a mid-plane connector. The chassis front-end may also include a mid-plane including at least one storage device connector and a speed logic to inform at least one storage device of an Ethernet speed of the chassis front-end. The Ethernet speeds may vary.

In an aspect, systems and methods of connected nodes, including electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle, integrate remote direct memory access (RDMA) capabilities with time-sensitive networking (TSN) traffic shaper configurations in a manner that guarantees lossless, bounded-latency critical traffic (CT) streams, while also allowing for different classes of traffic to flow through the connected nodes. In another aspect, mechanisms are introduced to enable an automotive software framework (e.g., classic AUTOSAR) to support RDMA communications.
