EMBEDDED SOFTWARE Solutions with CANbedded CANopen For CANopen communication, Vector offers source code for master and slave ECUs. The source code contains all functions and services required for the CANopen protocol, which are standardized by CiA. Detailed information on this can be found beginning on page 3/22. The software implemented in automotive ECUs can be either infra-structure software or application software. The latter implements the desired functionality, while the infrastructure software includes the operating system, communication software and fun-damental input and output services. Uniform solution Network communication is described in a database. It is used to configure the software components and serves as a foundation for Vector development and test tools. This gives software developers a universal and uniform solution, from simulation and design to testing and validation. Further information on tools for development and testing of auto-motive The use of uniform communication protocols is absolutely neces-sary when setting up networks in a vehicle. The use of standardized software components ensures easy portability and reliable inte-gration of ECUs in the vehicles network for the automotive OEM and its suppliers. In addition, the software components lead to a substantial reduction in development costs. CANbedded Vector develops high-quality and innovative software components for use in the automotive industry. One focus of the product line is on ECU communication, an area in which Vector has well-founded knowledge. The necessary hardware drivers are also important here. CANbedded products from Vector are available for systems without AUTOSAR. You can obtain them for the CAN and LIN networks as well as for the J1939 protocol. In addition, Vector can offer individual solutions for further simplification of the application, e.g. solutions for gateways or state management. networks can be found in the combined product catalog Development of distributed systems and ECU testing. Communication Software for AUTOSAR Systems Vector also provides AUTOSAR-based communications software. This software is available for the CAN, LIN, FlexRay, MOST and Ethernet/IP bus systems. Further information and a description of the available software modules can be found in the AUTOSAR section beginning on page 2/0. Advantages of CANbedded > Many years of experience: Vector has been developing basic software for CAN communication in automotive applications since 1992. > High level of maturity: It would be hard to find a vehicle with a CAN bus today that did not have a CANbedded stack. > Broad range of applications: Applicable for various use cases - from powertrain via body bus to infotainment > Support of many automotive manufacturers: Available in many OEM-specific variants.
