Automotive Development Module has CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet Port
Posted by on
Renesas has launched a software development board featuring the R-Car S4 System-on-Chip (SoC). The scope of delivery includes the Whitebox SDK open-source software.
The R-Car S4 facilitates the launch of Car Server/CoGW with high performance, high-speed networking, high security, and high functional safety levels required as E/E architectures grow into domains and zones. The R-Car S4 solution allows designers to re-use up to 88 percent of software code developed for 3rd generation R-Car SoCs and RH850 MCU applications. The software package sustains the real-time cores with drivers and essential software such as Linux BSP and hypervisors.
The R-Car S4 starter kit includes essential R-Car S4 onboard interfaces such as two CAN FD interfaces, an LIN port, and an Ethernet TSN switch, as well as memory such as 4 GiB of LPDDR4, 128 GiB of universal flash storage, and 64 MiB of quad SPI flash memory. In addition, users can extend peripheral functionality by using expansion connectors and customize the hardware according to individual needs. Furthermore, Renesas supplies the R-Car S4 Whitebox SDK, an open-source automotive development environment for the R-Car S4. The code consists of free-of-charge software without attached license agreements. The package includes sample software, test programs, and resource monitoring tools for over-the-air (OTA) software updates, intrusion prevention software (IPS), and an intrusion detection system (IDS) for network security.
Teensy 4.0 CAN FD And LIN Bus Breakout Board
This is a CAN FD breakout board for use with the Teensy 4.0 (included in the scope of delivery). It is equipped with an onboard 5 VDC regulator with reverse voltage protection and a CAN FD transceiver. The Microchip MCP2004A chip provides the LIN Bus connection.
The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontroller development system compatible with Arduino software and libraries. It comes with a minimal footprint and is capable of implementing a great variety of projects. All programming is accomplished via the onboard USB port.
LIN Bus Simulation Device Controlled by Windows Software
The Baby-LIN-II by Lipowsky Industrie-Elektronik is a compact system for controlling a LIN BUS network via USB. The PC works as a LIN monitor, LIN Master, or LIN Slave. The system also supports operation in stand-alone mode and allows the execution of continuously running sequences without a PC. In addition, the galvanic isolation guarantees interference-free data transmission. The [...]

LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Prototyping And Firmware Development With The Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board
In general, let's start with a brief comparison of CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) and LIN Bus (Local Interconnect Network): LIN Bus networks provide cost-efficient communication in applications where the bandwidth and versatility of the CAN Bus technology are not required. LIN Bus applications are relatively inexpensive using the standard serial universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) technology, which are embedded [...]
Windows-Based Analysis And Test Environment For CAN -FD, LIN And Automotive Ethernet
CanEasy by Schleissheimer (Germany) is a Windows-based analysis and test system for CAN-FD, LIN and Automotive Ethernet. The tool simulates serial bus traffic, it provides a high degree of automation and is easily configured and extended with the support of plug-in modules. The goal is that users should focus on their task and not on their tools. CanEasy is a [...]
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) Prototyping For Embedded Systems Such As Arduino, Raspberry Pi
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The demand for a second serial network emerged as the technologies and the facilities implemented in modern cars grew, while the CAN Bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car. European car manufacturers started using [...]
