The RAD-Gigastar 2 is Intrepid's most versatile Automotive Ethernet development tool, combining network monitoring, gateway functionality, media conversion and data logging within a single rugged platform. Designed for modern vehicle architectures, it supports Automotive Ethernet, CAN FD and LIN communications while providing extensive flexibility for engineers working on next-generation vehicle networks.

The device can operate as an active tap between ECUs and switches, enabling transparent network monitoring while forwarding traffic between connected devices. It also functions as a media converter, allowing PCs and test equipment to interact directly with Automotive Ethernet and 10BASE-T1S networks for diagnostics, ECU flashing and simulation activities.

The RAD-Gigastar 2 supports standalone operation with onboard data logging, real-time scripting and gateway functionality. Engineers can create Ethernet-to-Ethernet, Ethernet-to-CAN and Ethernet-to-LIN gateways while leveraging gPTP synchronisation for accurate time-stamped network analysis.

Key features include:

• Active Tap, Gateway and Media Converter functionality
• Support for 100/1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet
• Support for 10BASE-T1S networks
• CAN FD and LIN integration
• ECU diagnostics and reflashing support
• Standalone data logging and scripting
• gPTP time synchronisation
• Automotive Ethernet PHY testing and debugging
