SAE J1939 And The Challenging Migration From Classical CAN To CAN FD and CAN XL
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee has developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network of choice for off-highway [...]
Embedded ARM Cortex-A35 Modules With Up To Three CAN FD Interfaces
TQ-Systems (Germany) introduced their TQMa8xx and TQMa8xxs embedded modules that feature three, and respectively two CAN FD interfaces. The TQMa8xx module offers integrated graphics, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for audio processing, and security-related functions. To meet various requirements, three CPU (Central Processing Unit) alternatives with a dual-core or quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 processor are available. Each core supports a [...]
Introduction To The NMEA 2000 Marine Networking Standard
NMEA 2000 is a marine networking standard created and administered by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). The NMEA is an association of marine electronics manufacturers, dealers, and technicians. The NMEA 2000 standard describes a low-cost, moderate capacity, bi-directional, multi-transmitter, multi-receiver instrument network. Typical data on a network using this standard include position latitude and longitude, [...]
