NI Automotive Ethernet Hardware

NI Automotive Ethernet hardware enables you to use the NI‑XNET driver or standard networking drivers to develop applications to test and validate automotive electronic control units (ECUs) over automotive Ethernet networks.

The following topics describe NI Automotive Ethernet hardware:

  • Cabling Requirements
  • Synchronization
Note This document often uses the term Automotive Ethernet to refer to all Ethernet hardware supported by NI-XNET. Unless otherwise stated, assume this term refers to hardware with either Automotive Ethernet or standard Ethernet physical interfaces.
