“The widespread use of CAN bus in industrial control and modern vehicles has created a demand for CAN support within real time operating systems” said Alex Schuilenburg, Managing Director & CEO at eCosCentric. “With the addition of CAN support to eCosPro, our customers have a shorter time to market with all the benefits that a commercial RTOS provides but without the higher costs associated with traditional license-fee or royalty based operating systems”.
In keeping with the elegant eCos design, eCosPro-CAN is configurable, allowing system architects and developers to make optimal use of limited target memory. eCosPro-CAN provides a coherent application programming interface for developers to access devices attached to the CAN network, supporting hardware filtering and baud rates from 10kb/s to 10Mb/s. Details of the underlying hardware are encapsulated within a device specific layer. The eCosPro-CAN drivers provide BasicCAN operation and are provided under the terms of the eCosPro license.
