SMARC Module With Intel Pentium/Celeron/Atom x6000 Series Supports Two CAN FD Ports
Advantech launched their SMARC 2.1 SOM‑2532 module, designed with real-time automation control, edge-connected, and safety-critical applications in mind.The module combines the 10-nm Intel Elkhart Lake processor with up to four cores and 16‑GiB LPDDR4 memory. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) performance is improved by a margin of more than 40 % and graphic performance up to two [...]
Industrial And Military-Strength Galvanically Isolated Classical CAN And CAN FD Breakout Boards
We at Copperhill Technologies are currently developing a new product, the JCOM.CAN.QUAD, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. For the sake of maximum flexibility, we decided to use a sandwich design where separate CAN boards [...]
Design Concept: Raspberry Pi System With Four Isolated CAN Bus Interfaces
Copperhill Technologies currently develops their JCOM.CAN.QUAD product, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. The board comes with two UART ports, which allow the use of external LIN Bus breakout boards, such as our Isolated LIN Bus Breakout [...]
PiCAN FD Functionality Test - CAN Bus FD Duo Board with Real Time Clock for Raspberry Pi
CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) is an updated version of the CAN 2.0B protocol. It takes into account the requirement of the automotive industry to make Classical CAN faster. To achieve that, two principles have been introduced: Faster transfer of the data frame – the Arbitration Field (ID and Acknowledgement) remain unchanged so that the arbitration [...]
STM32 Ultra-Low-Power IoT Development Kit With Integrated CAN FD Interface
Rutronik introduced its development kit RUTDevKit-STM32L5 for AI-based (Artificial Intelligence) applications at the edge. The kit also comes with a CAN FD interface.The kit utilizes the 110-MHz STM32L562ZET6Q micro-controller. The 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 processor with Arm Trustzone function offers hardware-based security features. The core implements a protected processing environment for cyber protection and sensitive code and an [...]
Under Development: Galvanically Isolated Quad Channel CAN Bus to USB Gateway For Industrial And Automotive Applications
A few months ago, we introduced a development concept for an Automotive Network Development System with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet. After further market research plus very much appreciated feedback from customers, we decided to modify the concept and basically create two devices, one for CAN and LIN, the other to CAN and Ethernet. Ethernet, in [...]
Digital I/O Module For Operations In CANopen And CANopen FD Networks
Peak-System Technik and EmSA (Embedded Systems Academy) have joined forces and developed the PCAN-MicroMod FD DR CANopen Digital 1, an I/O device with eight digital inputs and eight outputs. The I/O module comes in a DIN-rail mountable housing with screw terminal strips. The eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs are galvanically isolated from the power supply, [...]
Automotive ECU Development With ARM Cortex Processor Supporting Up To Eight CAN FD Interfaces
The UDE (Universal Debugging Engine) by PLS (Germany) provides debugging and analysis functions for NXP’s S32S247 and i.MX RT MCUs with up to eight CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) interfaces. The S32S247 multi-core controller combines four 800-MHz Cortex-R52 processors with 64-MiB integrated flash memory. Designed for safety-related real-time applications up to ASIL-D (automotive safety integrity level), the device is suitable [...]
PCI Express Mini Card With Two Electrically Isolated CAN FD Interfaces
ESD Electronics (Germany) introduced their CAN-M.2/402-2-FD PCIe card with two electrically isolated CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) interfaces. The autonomous CAN Bus interfaces are controlled by the EsdACC (Advanced CAN Core) implemented in an Intel FPGA, and it is certified according to ISO-16845:2004. The FPGA supports direct memory access (DMA), also called “Bus mastering,” enabling autonomous data transfer [...]
PCIe Board Features Four Channels For CAN FD/Classical CAN And LIN Bus Connectivity
HMS Networks extended its IXXAT PC-interface portfolio with the introduction of its multi-channel board CAN-IB 640/PCIe, which provides four channels, each for CAN FD/Classical CAN and LIN Bus connectivity.Automotive systems and industrial applications often operate using several Classical CAN and CAN FD networks, connected to additional testing, monitoring, and control systems. The multi-channel CAN-IB 640/PCIe card [...]
