Starter kit aids dual-CAN application development
Renesas Technology
SDK1725 starter kit
Renesas Technology Europe and Port have announced the launch of an SDK1725 starter kit specifically for the development of dual-CAN applications.
Comprising the CANopen stack and CANopen development tools from Port and the H8SX/1725F-based microcontroller starter kit from Renesas, the combination is suitable for developing a variety of safety critical applications.
The H8SX/1725F is a high-reliability device with a split zero-wait 12.5ns access speed MONOS 1 Flash module.
The device also includes 256Kbyte high-speed Flash for code and 16KByte high endurance Flash for data combined with strong peripheral resources as dual CAN, 4x high-speed serial interface, flexible timer blocks, all based around a 32-bit CISC CPU running up to 80MHz.
The H8SX/1725F CANopen Library provides all the services necessary to provide CANopen communications that are compliant with the CiA 301 V 4.2 communication profile.
It facilitates development of master and slave devices, and is able to serve one or two of the CAN controllers within the H8SX/1725F microcontroller.
Written completely in ANSI-C, it can be compiled with every ANSI-C compliant compiler.
Each version of the CANopen Library is tested against the latest CANopen conformance tests to maintain compliance with the standard.
In addition to an evaluation version of the CANopen software, the H8SX/1725F SDK comes with the Renesas E10A debugger, Renesas C compiler (trial version) and High-performance Embedded Workshop.
