Toyo Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshiya Takano; hereinafter 'Toyo Corporation') will launch the 'MGA8410', a next-generation Ethernet & IP test platform developed by Aukua Systems Inc. (Headquarters: Austin, Texas, USA; hereinafter 'Aukua Systems'), a leading provider of Ethernet and IP network testing and monitoring solutions, on April 1, 2026.
This product enables high-precision and highly efficient testing for semiconductor verification in research and development environments that require real-time, large-capacity data transfer, such as data centers, enterprise networks, aerospace, defense, autonomous driving, connected cars, and industrial automation.
The 'MGA8410' adopts an advanced FPGA-based architecture to provide high-precision test results. It is equipped with Aukua Systems' unique 3-in-1 functionality, which integrates (1) packet generation, (2) impairment emulation, and (3) packet capture/analysis into a single chassis, allowing two functions to be used simultaneously.
For example, engineers can perform throughput verification, latency, and jitter measurements while simultaneously capturing and analyzing packets. By conducting two tests at once, the need to prepare different tools and perform complex setups for each test is eliminated, thereby reducing testing man-hours and time. It also expands the range of use cases, leading to cost reductions in verification.
[Background/Overview]
As communication technologies become more sophisticated, physical layer analysis for automotive Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, aerospace, and TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) has become a challenge. With the acceleration of autonomous driving and the growth of the IoT market, communication technologies are advancing. Automotive Ethernet is increasingly being adopted to expand data transfer capacity for real-time analysis of sensor and video data. In the industrial Ethernet field, real-time performance and increased capacity are also advancing. Analyzing communication flows at the physical layer (Layer 1) is crucial for these technologies. For new semiconductor chips, visualizing physical layer analysis using an oscilloscope requires immense time and effort. TSN protocols also require physical layer data analysis, necessitating high-speed digital communication hardware processing in semiconductor chips. However, analyzing communication performance and isolating faults in these chips has been a challenge.
The 'MGA8410' enables physical connections for various Ethernet standards, including USXGMII, SGMII, and automotive Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T1. By consolidating packet generation, impairment emulation, and packet capture/analysis into one unit, it enables performance evaluation and troubleshooting reproduction tests during semiconductor chip development and system design.
Toyo Corporation signed a domestic distribution agreement with Aukua Systems and has been selling their Ethernet test platforms since December 2023. By adding the 'MGA8410' to its product lineup, Toyo Corporation will contribute to further efficiency and cost reduction in semiconductor verification for automotive Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, aerospace products, and TSN fields.
