BitPhyer Tools

BitPhyer circuit board

BitPhyer is a family of hardware platforms used to test the IEEE 802.3™ MAC, Flow Control, PCS and RS layers for Ethernet devices, including Automotive Ethernet. This platform is based on Xilinx FPGAs and custom built hardware which are used to create a flexible bit-level based test system. BitPhyer can be used to generate arbitrary bit patterns and frames and enables users to define their own test scripts in addition to the UNH-IOL generated test plans included with the system. The BitPhyer family of hardware platforms supports various speeds and duplexes over several port types from 10Mb/s to 10Gb/s.

Please note: BitPhyer is currently unavailable, contact us below and we will follow up with next steps once it is available.
