The increasing complexity of modern applications calls for more complex embedded computing resources, which integrate several processing units with specialized hardware and virtualization support on a single platform to boost the computation capabilities. These subsystems require a communication system able to support different flows with diverse real-time requirements. In this context, the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) family of standards plays an important role. This work proposes the design and the implementation of a framework for enabling TSN communications in heterogeneous platforms with virtualization. Preliminary experimental results are reported, which provide some insights on the limitations and advantages of the proposed framework.
