Description
An example of XML representations of constituents of the SpaceWire network, i.e. node, link, and routing switch, is presented. In addition to the static description of a network, the XML format was also used to define data traffic in the network and its time-slot allocation for deterministic network operation; each packet transfer is described by combination a data transfer path, amount of data, and timing definition. The format was defined and implemented in the SpaceWire R&D activities done by JAXA and Nagoya University in 2012-2013, and a prototype of SpaceWire/RMAP middleware was developed and tested to support the XML network description and time-slot-triggered data transfer based on the data traffic definition XML file.
