Toyo Corporation to Begin Sales of Aukua Systems' Next-Generation Ethernet & IP Test Platform "MGA8410" for Efficient Semiconductor Verification in In-Vehicle Ethernet, Aerospace Communications, and More

Toyo Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshiya Kono; hereinafter "Toyo Corporation") will launch "MGA8410," a next-generation Ethernet & IP test platform manufactured and developed by Aukua Systems Inc. (Headquarters: Austin, Texas, USA; hereinafter "Aukua Systems"), a leading provider of Ethernet and IP network test and monitoring solutions, starting April 1, 2026.

This product achieves high-precision and high-efficiency testing in semiconductor verification conducted at research and development sites for communication technologies that require real-time, large-capacity data transfer, such as data centers, enterprise networks, aerospace, defense, autonomous driving and connected cars, and industrial automation.

The "MGA8410" provides high-precision test results by adopting an advanced FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based architecture. Furthermore, it is equipped with Aukua Systems' unique 3-in-1 function, integrating three functions into one chassis: ① transmission of communication packets, ② fault emulation, and ③ packet capture/analysis. In addition, it is possible to use two functions simultaneously.

For example, engineers can transmit communication packets and perform throughput verification, latency, and jitter measurements, while simultaneously performing packet capture/analysis.

By conducting two tests at once, it eliminates the need to prepare different tools for each test and set up complex configurations, thereby reducing the labor and time required for testing. It also expands the range of use cases and contributes to cost reduction in verification.

## 【 Background/Overview 】

### ■ Challenges in physical layer analysis for in-vehicle Ethernet, industrial Ethernet, aerospace, and TSN due to advanced communication technologies

In recent years, communication technologies have advanced due to the acceleration of autonomous driving technology in mobility, the growth of the IoT market, and the open standardization of systems (multi-vendorization). In real-time analysis of sensor and video data in autonomous driving, the adoption of in-vehicle Ethernet is progressing to expand data transfer capacity. In the field of industrial Ethernet, real-time capability and large capacity are also advancing, and semiconductor chips compatible with industrial Ethernet are being adopted in control devices. For these communication technologies, analysis of communication flow at the physical layer (Layer 1) is important. Particularly for verifying new semiconductor chips, if one attempts to visualize physical layer analysis using an oscilloscope, it requires an enormous amount of time and effort to analyze communication data from waveforms. Even in TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) communication protocols, which are attracting attention with the growth of the IoT market, data analysis at the physical layer is required. To analyze and execute vast amounts of data instantly, semiconductor chips need to accelerate hardware high-speed processing for digital communication. However, to achieve this, there have been challenges in analyzing the communication performance of semiconductor chips and isolating faults.
