Automotive Rapid Prototyping System (Auto/RPS)
MLE provides an FPGA-based Rapid Prototyping System (RPS) catering to the specific needs of automotive engineers designing next-generation Zone Based Architectures.
MLE Auto/RPS enables automotive system engineers to design and to validate software-defined vehicle (SDV) functions along with MLE Auto/TSN in-vehicle networking.
MLE Auto/RPS was designed as a shortcut into A-sample hardware development of Zonal Gateways / ECUs and implements an FPGA Full System Stack based on the Trenz Electronic TE0950-02 SoC-FPGA Development Kit featuring the AMD Versal AI Edge FPGA, and an automotive FPGA subsystem from MLE.
