"C" Programming The SAE J1939 Turbo Interface for Raspberry Pi
The jCOM.J1939.RPi, an SAE J1939 interface for the Raspberry Pi, is not an RPi HAT in the common sense. The board incorporates an ARM processor with CAN transceiver for use on the Raspberry Pi while allowing the operation with any other RPi-compatible board.By combining our J1939 port interface, the Raspberry Pi, an SAE J1939 cable, and [...]
HMS Introduces IXXAT USB-to-CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) Gateway
The IXXAT PC interfaces for CAN FD and CAN are typically used for control, monitoring, analysis or configuration purposes. HMS now introduces the IXXAT USB-to-CAN FD — a USB-connected version which is ideal for mobile analysis and configuration. More interface standards will soon be supported, as IXXAT CAN FD versions for Mini PCIe, PCIe 104, XMC and [...]
A Guide To Designing Embedded Hardware And Creating New Computers And Devices
Embedded computer systems literally surround us; they are in our cell phones, PDAs, cars, TVs, refrigerators, heating systems, and more. In fact, embedded systems are one of the most rapidly growing segments of the computer industry today. Along with the growing list of devices for which embedded computer systems are appropriate, interest is growing among [...]
Authentication And Encryption for SAE J1939 And Other CAN Bus Protocols
At the time when the Controller Area Network (CAN) standard was designed, security was not a requirement. The primary usage of the CAN Bus was considered complete; possible intruders or attackers would simply not get physical or remote access to the network. However, today it is more and more common that devices connected to a CAN [...]
The Car Hacker's Handbook For Deeper Understanding Of Embedded Systems In Modern Vehicles
Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Think infotainment and navigation systems, Wi-Fi, automatic software updates, and other innovations that aim to make driving more safe and convenient. However, vehicle technologies haven not kept pace with today's more hostile security environment, which might leave millions of cars vulnerable to attack. The Car Hacker's Handbook will give [...]
Position Control With Embedded J1939-Compliant Linear Actuator Is Superior To Hydraulic Actuator
Manufacturers of agricultural, construction, and other off-highway equipment are increasingly deploying electromechanical actuators instead of hydraulic actuators, the primary reason being their simplicity and environmental benefits. Now, intelligent electromechanical actuators that support the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus networking standard give designers more reasons to choose such a solution. Support for the CAN/J1939 networking protocol [...]
CAN Bus Bridge (CAN-to-CAN) Application With Arduino Due
Basically, there are two scenarios where a CAN Bridge application is of use:1. Connecting two separate CAN Bus networks.2. Network length extension.While the first scenario is more or less self-explanatory, let's look a little closer into the network length extension: The physical CAN network length depends primarily on the CAN baud rate, i.e. the higher [...]
SAE J1939 Turbo Interface Board for Raspberry Pi
A note upfront: The CAN interface board for the Raspberry Pi as described in the following, specifically the firmware code, is under current development. The hardware is ready for production, and the release is targeted for end of February 2017.This post is a follow-up on a previous post Raspberry Pi With CAN Bus Or SAE J1939 [...]
Raspberry Pi With CAN Bus Or SAE J1939 Turbo Interface Board
A note upfront: The CAN interface board for the Raspberry Pi as described in the following, specifically the firmware code, is under current development. The hardware is currently in production, and the release is targeted for the end of February 2017. If you have a special interest in running the SAE J1939 protocol on the Raspberry [...]
CAN Bus Interface For the Raspberry Pi 2/3 Comes With Various Options
The PiCAN2 board series by Copperhill Technologies provides CAN Bus capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. The boards (with the exception of the dual isolated interface) use the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller in combination with the MCP2551 CAN transceiver. There is an easy to install SocketCAN driver, and programming can be accomplished in C [...]
