Functional Features

  1. Deterministic Low-Latency Synchronization:
    • Data written to local memory is instantly broadcast to all nodes via fiber optics with <1 µs latency .
    • Zero CPU/software overhead: Operates independently of host processors .
  2. Hardware Optimization:
    • Dynamic Packet Sizing: Auto-adjusts packets (4–64 bytes) to maximize throughput .
    • Dual DMA Channels: Sustain peak data rates without bus congestion .
    • FIFO Buffers: 128-depth FIFOs per channel for burst data integrity .
  3. Fault Tolerance:
    • Redundant Transmission Modes: Supports ring/star topologies for fail-safe operation .
    • Hardware CRC Checks: Ensures data integrity during transmission .
  4. Flexibility:
    • Node ID Configuration: Set via software or jumpers .
    • Endian Conversion: Seamless interoperability between big/little-endian systems .
