New Technical Backgrounder Compares Benefits of 1394 Automotive with Ethernet AVB for Automotive Networking Systems The 1394 Trade Association in July issued a new technical background report identifying the benefits of the 1394 Automotive standard for vehicle networking systems. The technical article compares the advantages of products based on the 1394 Automotive standard with a proposed Ethernet AVB specification. It reviews 1394 Automotive’s flexibility, scalability, physical layer performance, and high-level protocols, which enable a cost-efficient, compact, and lightweight automotive network for rear seat entertainment, vehicle safety, and other applications. The backgrounder also details the reasons why any future Ethernet AVB device for the vehicle will look very different from a standard Ethernet device, despite Ethernet’s success in many networking applications. There is currently no high-level command and control protocol for plug-and-play connectivity, and Ethernet has not been deployed in such a capacity. The article is at www.1394ta.org. It was published by AutomotiveDesignLine.com and on John Day’s automotive electronics site.
