Description

An ECSS-E-ST-50-12C compliant SpaceWire link controller providing the standard high-speed serial interconnect used across European and NASA spacecraft architectures. Supports point-to-point links from 2 Mbps up to 200+ Mbps with hot-redundant link management, packet routing primitives, time-code distribution, and error detection/recovery per the ECSS specification. Available as a link controller, a routing-switch IP, or a complete node controller, with a clean fabric-side interface for payload and instrument integration.

Target applications: Satellite payload-to-OBC links, instrument interconnect, science platform data routing, launcher avionics buses.
