Form Factor
Specification • While no specific form factor standard is specified in JAS it is highly recommended that programs make use of a standards-based mechanical design such as VPX defined by VITA. Although VPX is preferred, other standards may be considered for use as well. The consideration of alternate standards should carefully consider...
Functional Description
Specification • The JEEP provides efficient, best-effort delivery of packets. In-order delivery is only guaranteed if there are no transmission errors over the SpaceWire link, e.g., bit errors or dropped packets, and there are no routing options which could cause a segmented packet to be transmitted or received out of order. JEEP...
