Training - CAN bus (reference 002601A)
 
    Partners
  • Do not hesitate to request the detailed course description by contacting training@mvd-fpga.com
  • In order to analyse CAN traffic, a MPC555 having 2 CAN ports is connected to a PC CAN board having also 2 CAN ports
  • Practical exercices are built with Diab Data compiler, downloaded on a MPC555 target board through the EST probe
  • VisionClick debugger is used to control code execution

  • Some microcontrollers taught by MVD contain a CAN controller : the MPC555/MPC565 (course 002591A), the MC9S12DT256 (course 002593A) and the DSP56807 (course 002594A)
  • C language knowledge is also recommended (course 002603A)
  • MVD also delivers training courses around embeded OS which can be useful : Embeded Linux, OSEK
