OPEN Alliance Technical Committee 6 (TC6)

 

The OPEN Alliance Technical Committee 6 (TC6) focuses on enhancing media-independent communication interfaces (xMII) to optimize their use in automotive networks. TC6 develops recommendations for automotive xMII standards and defines relevant enhancements.

Acute Technology offers logic analyzers and mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) capable of decoding OA TC6.

Setup Steps For Decoding OPEN Alliance TC6 Interface

1. Click Quick Settings or Add Protocol Decode to select a protocol for logic analyzer capture.

2. Select OATC6 for decoding.

3. If you use Quick Settings, the system will recommend configurations for trigger type, sampling rate, voltage threshold, and channel settings.

4. Click the icon to access the Decode Settings screen

 

Decode Settings

Channel Settings

  • CLK, CS, SDI, SDO: Configure the channel connected to the signal source.

Report Settings

  • Show Ctrl Detail: If enabled, provides detailed information about control data in the report.
  • Waveform Display: Select SDI (Serial Data Input) or SDO (Serial Data Output) for decode visualization in the waveform area.

Startup Settings

    • Protected Mode: Enables or disables protected format in the control frame.
    • Enable Timestamp: Configures timestamps for the output. Options include 64-bit (default) or 32-bit format.
    • Block Payload Size: Specifies the maximum size of payloads in a block. Options include 64-bit (default) or 32-bit format.
    • Transmit FCS Validation Enable: Enables validation of the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) during transmission to ensure data integrity.

Ethernet Settings

    • FCS in Byte Order: Present FCS in byte order in the report.
    • Show MAC Data: Display MAC data such as Address, Data, and FCS.
    • Data Filter: Display only a specified number of bytes of data (minimum of 20 bytes)
    • Report Data: Limit the Data field to display a maximum number of bytes per line; excess content wraps to the next line.
