Monday 18 September

13:30 → 14:00 Welcome Coffee

14:00 → 14:30 Meeting Opening

Welcome, meeting introduction and agenda

Convener: Mr Dirk Thurnes (ESA)

14:30 → 16:00 SpW Standardisation: Session 1

A number of Change Requests were filed at the ECSS Secretariat regarding the current version of the SpaceWire standard. This lead the SpaceWire Working Group to revisit this standard in 2010-2011 and then to a formal ECSS process of standard revision on which this session will report progress and provide the room for technical discussion of the proposed changes.

Convener: Dr Felix Siegle (ESA-ESTEC)

16:00 → 16:30 Coffee Break

16:30 → 18:00 SpW Standardisation: Session 2

Convener: Dr Felix Siegle (ESA-ESTEC)

Tuesday 19 September

09:00 → 09:30 Space Fibre: ECSS standardisation

This session is intended to provide information and room for discussion regarding FDIR in SpW and SpFi networks. Identified concerns and proposed solutions shall be address, shared and discussed with the SpaceWire and SpaceFibre community.

Convener: Dr Felix Siegle (ESA-ESTEC)

09:30 → 10:30 Space Fibre: Physical Layer Testing Session 1

This session is intended to provide information and room for discussion regarding FDIR in SpW and SpFi networks. Identified concerns and proposed solutions shall be address, shared and discussed with the SpaceWire and SpaceFibre community.

Convener: Mr Dirk Thurnes (ESA)

10:30 → 10:45 Coffee Break

10:45 → 12:15 SpaceFibre: Physical Layer Testing Session 2

This session is intended to provide information and room for discussion regarding the SpaceFibre Physical Layer testing. Identified concerns and proposed solutions shall be address, shared and discussed with the SpaceWire and SpaceFibre community.

Convener: Mr Dirk Thurnes (ESA)

12:15 → 13:15 Lunch Break

13:15 → 15:15 SpaceFibre: Transaction Layer

This session is intended to provide information and room for discussion regarding the higher protocol layers of SpaceFibre which are not yet defined as part of the current ECSS standard. Proposed solutions shall be address, shared and discussed with the SpaceWire and SpaceFibre community.

Convener: Dr Felix Siegle (ESA-ESTEC)

15:15 → 15:30 Coffee Break

15:30 → 17:00 Space Fibre: FDIR in SpW and SpFi networks

Convener: Mr David Jameux (ESA/ESTEC)

17:00 → 18:00 SpW and SpFi related Components and Backplanes

Availability of components is one of the key elements enabling the usage of SpaceWire and SpaceFibre Links and Networks. This session will gather and report on the development status of components, from simple LVDS interfaces up to systems on a chip embedding SpaceWire and SpaceFibre interfaces. SpW backplanes may discussed in this track as well.
