NetFusion Family
1
●
A close family of electronic products providing Ethernet
connectivity to a new modern range of powerful
FPGA/ASIC processing boards (SOM) – System-OnModule.
●
It encompasses many different interface media and
quantities of interface by utilitizing a range of connectors
on varying product ranges.
●
It is provided by Nine Ways Research & Development Ltd
in Europe on support, design, manufacturing and rights.
●
Fully compatible with MorethanIP IP cores to bridge
hardware interface capability and the SOM core processors.

●
There are many Ethernet baseboards in the market. Some are generic
and cross-vendor and a lot are specifically designed to develop for a
specific device family. NetFusion can hosts a variation of different
vendor SOM units housed on the PCB.
●
The emphasis with NetFusion is on the providers of the hardware IP
cores up to the AXI/AHB memory bus interface. From there, our
expertise in embedded Linux OS and software device drivers rounds off
the complete delivery from application code, drivers, IP cores,
FPGA/ASIC, PHY and media interface.
●
Nine Ways R&D Ltd in partnership with MorethanIP GmbH provide the
Ethernet Switch/MAC/PHY/PCS/GearBox cores with Linux device drivers
as needed. This allows our customers the all-in-one support solution
tailored to high-speed Ethernet Communications.
●
The PCB allows our vast experience of different media interfaces to be
supplied as a one-stop-shop from physical connector to application
layer software running (if necessary) under UNIX.

●
Capable of supporting Altera and MicroSemi
standard SOM sub-systems.
●
Can be supplied as a small basic product or larger more
comprehensive version.
●
The extensive version can be de-populated and
customized to allow for specific customer media
interface requirement.
●
Can be used as a prototyping development base or using
the vast connector variation, be deployed in the field –
forming the same product familiar to that used in early
and late stage development.

●
10/100/1000 RJ45 Copper
Ethernet with PHYs and Magnetics.
●
1.25/2.5/3.125Gbit/s SFP Fibre
(1G Copper SFP devices can be used)
●
GPIO/UART/SPI with EMI/ESP as standard
●
Ruggedized Ethernet (if requested)

●
A simple One or Two port RJ45 device with UNIX
based OS running Web server/Streaming and/or
Audio algorithms.
●
Three port RJ45 managed Ethernet Switch with
Linux networking services handling bridging and
protocol information
●
Two Port RJ45 and Two Port SFP SERDES as a
Managed Switch with Web server and a host of
application layer software.
●
One Port RJ45 and One SFP Fibre acting as a Media
Converter but with Processor firewalling and
Encryption for embedded security control.

Four port PCB allowing routing from Four Dual
RJ45 / SFP footprints to the SOM.
(Budget/Minimized PCB project just has Two RJ45
footprints and routes to the SOM).

●
Unlike many other development PCBs, NetFusion offers a
post-development pathway to market as is – with no
design changes required for production (only if need a
different production code for de-population or varying
parts list.
●
Designed to -40 to +85 degrees Celsius Industrial
temperature specification
●
Conforms to EN-61000-4-4 European Electromagnetic
Certification: Emissions + Immunity, Electrical Safety,
Surge and Transients. US FCC conformity can be
available.
●
Physical orientation allows for boxed or Rack
Mount layout.

●
Use a blank SOM module to design your own entire IP
and incorporate the on-board ASIC “hard” dedicated
Processor (usually ARM).
●
Use a start-off template with MAC + DMA in a SOM
module and incorporate MorethanIP/Nine Ways IP
Ethernet cores and drivers. Customer then glues together
their custom design and application software.
●
Customer asks for Nine Ways design support to help or
fully create IP design (with or without MorethanIP IP
cores), write device drivers, help with overall hardware
design and if necessary, write application software as an
add on service.
