Emtrion Embedded Systems introduced its Emstamp Argon computer-on-module, an STM32 module with two CAN FD interfaces.

The board utilizes the STM32MP157 processor from ST Microelectronics. It carries dual ARM Cortex-A7 (650 MHz) and ARM Cortex-M4 (200 MHz) cores, making it suitable for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and other industrial communication systems. Moreover, it provides an ARM Neon co-processor, a 512-MiB SDRAM, and a 2-MiB NOR-Flash are embedded as well.

The two CAN FD interfaces are directly connected to the dual-row pin-header J7 with ten pins. Optionally, the board supports Profinet, Ethercat, and Ethernet/IP interfaces. The Cortex-M4 core uses the ecosystem of the STM32 MCU and its vast code libraries. The board measures 32 mm x 32 mm x 4 mm. It requires a supply voltage of 5 VDC and operates at an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

The module is available with the Linux operating system. Board support packages (BSP) for other operating systems are available as well. Emtrion confirms board availability of up to 15 years and offers complementary services, such as virtualization, suitable security solutions, and development kits.

PICAN FD - CAN Bus FD Duo Board with Real Time Clock for Raspberry Pi

The PiCAN FD Duo board provides two-channel CAN-Bus FD capability for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2517FD CAN controller with MCP2562FD CAN transceiver. The connection is made via a 4-way screw terminal. A real-time clock with battery backup (battery not included) is also on the board.

The advanced CAN FD bitrate extends the data section's length to up to 64 bytes per frame and a data rate of up to 8 Mbps.
