A robust automotive Ethernet-LIN network interface

The device can act as an Ethernet-CAN(/FD) or, Ethernet-LIN interface as well as CAN(/FD)-LIN gateway, and a user-scripting feature allows to run user applications directly on the device. The open communication protocol enables access to interface’s channels over Ethernet or USB.

The communication protocol over Ethernet or USB enables access to CAN(/FD) and LIN bus channels over TCP/IP or virtual COM port respectively.

A user-scripting feature, which allows to run user applications directly on the MCU, can be used for HiL testing and rest-bus simulations. The device can act as an interface, a gateway, or bridge between all its channels.

An analogue input and a digital output enable the user to interact with external peripherals.

Integration

The open communication protocol (API) allows you to easily access CAN(/FD) and LIN channels over Ethernet TCP/IP or USB VCP. Over the protocol, the user can configure the CAN/CAN FD/LIN channels and transmit and receive frames.

User Programming

The device firmware can also be fully customizable in C language. An open-source SDK, which shows the use of all the peripherals, is available on GitHub. A user application can be uploaded into the device over web bootloader or USB. It is also possible to debug the application directly on the target (STM32 SWD).
