Design and Simulation of Onboard SpaceWire Networks

Abstract

The paper describes SpaceWire Automated Network Design and Simulation (SANDS) - the new CAD system for SpaceWire networks. SANDS system supports the full on-board network design and simulation flow, which begins from the network topology automated generation and finishes with getting the network structure, configuration and parameters setting, simulation results and statistics. The paper also provides use cases for SANDS application.
