EMBEDDED SOFTWARE CANbedded Basic software for CAN communication Application Areas CANbedded lets users focus their efforts completely on their func-tional Vector CANbedded basic software lets ECUs exchange information over the CAN bus. As a part of the ECU software, it handles commu-nication- software, because the CANbedded stack handles OEM-con-formant sending and receiving of messages over CAN. Vector offers related tasks as specified by the OEM. With CANbedded, your ECU is able to efficiently communicate with other ECUs in the vehicle and with an external service tester. CANbedded is available in variants for most OEMs and for a large number of microcontrol-lers. OEM-specific CANbedded variants for most OEMs. The CAN driver (the only hardware-specific component) is available in an opti-mized version for many different hardware platforms (8 to 64 bit controllers). CANbedded consists of the configurable software components CAN driver, Interaction Layer, Network Management, Transport Proto-col The use of CANbedded in all of a networks ECUs assures compatibil-ity of all communication stacks. This reduces development costs and Communication Control Layer, which you can combine as and test effort. necessary to form a communication stack. This provides you with a reliable foundation for your ECU. A single-channel variant of CANbedded has been optimized for use in ECUs connected to a single CAN bus. A multichannel variant is also available for communication over multiple CAN channels.
