Description
The VNA course was developed to help you understand the Volcano Concept and learn the usage of the VNA network design tool. The concept covers an understanding of in-vehicle networks, the software that controls them and the Volcano correct-by-construction approach to the timing of in-vehicle signals.
Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.
You will learn how to
- Understand in-car communication concepts and issues
- Understand how the Volcano concept addresses these issues
- Understand the various elements of the Volcano tool chain (VNA, VTP)
- Work with Volcano Network architect
- Understand in-car network protocols
- Apply the Volcano timing model to in-car communication
- Build a system from start to output generation
Hands-On Labs
Roughly half of the time is spent on practical exercises in our demonstration lab with 4 development stations where the VNA is run. The VNA exercise involves creating a small network from scratch until generation of a network configuration.
Audience
This class is intended for persons that are involved in projects using the Volcano tool chain. The class is suitable for component owners, function owners, new signal database engineers and anyone else that needs to get a good and thorough overview of the Volcano Concept and VNA in particular.
