IMB520R ATX Motherboard with LGA1151 Socket 9th/8th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor
Axiomtek introduced their IMB520R and IMB521R, which are industrial-strength ATX motherboards powered by the LGA1151 socket 9th and 8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 (Coffee Lake Refresh), Intel Pentium or Intel Celeron processor with the Intel Q370 chipset (IMB520R) or Intel C246 chipset (IMB521R). The motherboards provide a design with high functionality, and they offer various expansion interfaces, [...]
Fanless Embedded Box PC With NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Supports Two CAN Bus Ports For In-Vehicle Applications
The BOXER-8110AI by AAEON comes with the NVIDIA Jetson TX2, and it supports 256 CUDA cores and a range of AI frameworks including Tensorflow, Caffe2, and Mxnet. Also, users can install the device with their own AI inference software. These features make the BOXER-8110AI perfect for edge AI applications.The BOXER-8110AI’s CAN Bus and rugged design features (anti-dust measures, [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Remote Frame And Avoiding Of Usage
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Experience over the years has revealed some quirks in the CAN Bus protocol, which are naturally not covered by any official document, and one of them has led to the call to avoid CAN remote frames. In August of 2005, CAN-in-Automation (CiA) published (but [...]
Espruino - Open-Source JavaScript Interpreter For STM32 Microcontrollers
The Espruino is an open-source JavaScript interpreter for microcontrollers. It is designed for devices with small amounts of RAM (as low as 8kB). It was created by Gordon Williams in 2012 as an effort to make microcontroller development genuinely multiplatform. Though initially not open-source, the Espruino firmware was offered as a free download for STM32 microcontrollers. [...]
Exploring BeagleBone: Tools and Techniques for Building IoT And CAN Bus Applications Using Embedded Linux
Exploring BeagleBone is a hands-on guide to producing gadgets, gizmos, and robots employing the popular BeagleBone embedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and in-depth detail present more than just a BeagleBone instruction manual; you also learn the underlying engineering techniques allowing you to build your projects. The book opens with a foundational primer on necessary skills, and then [...]
Automotive Grade CAN FD Transceiver Plus Digital Isolator For Electric Vehicle Systems
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced its TCAN1044EV-Q1 Grade 0 CAN FD transceiver and the ISO7741E-Q1 Grade 0 digital isolator for reliable communication and protection in (hybrid) electric vehicle systems that are exposed to temperatures of up to +125 °C (257 °F).The devices are classified according to the Grade 0 ambient operating temperature specification of the AEC-Q100 (Automotive Electronics Council) [...]
Gateway Controller With UART Interface Embeds Non-CANopen Systems Into CANopen Networks
The CO401GW2-BBD by frenzel & berg electronic is a small-size plug-in module based on the single-chip controller CO401GW2. This module comes with an onboard CAN transceiver, allowing immediate connection to the CAN bus without further components. The CO401GW2 gateway controller provides a gateway to a virtual I/O-area in the CANopen-system. The external access is accomplished via a [...]
Arduino Breakout Board Connects Classic CAN Bus and CAN FD Networks
Many users involved with CAN Bus programming (and exploring the extended capabilities of CAN FD) may not be aware that Classic CAN Bus and CAN FD are excluding each other due to compatibility issues. For more detailed information, see our post CAN FD On A Legacy CAN Bus Network Is Not A Good Idea Due To [...]
RobotDyn - Data Logger Shield For Arduino - Development Resources
To mention it upfront, we don't sell the data logger shield for the Arduino. As a matter of fact, I bought this board out of pure curiosity, because it fits and complements our Arduino-Based ECU Development Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface. This combination bares the potential for creating a low-price CAN Bus data logger.I was [...]
