CAN

This document explains how to instantiate a CAN driver in order to send and/or receive configured CAN messages.

• The CAN bus is a multi-master serial bus widely used in the automotive, automation and aeronautic domains.

• CAN devices are connected to each other via a two-wire linear bus terminated with a 120-ohm resistance (as defined in the ISO 11898-2 standard).

• CAN frames can contain up to 64 bits of data (64 bytes for CAN FD) and are exchanged at a configurable bit rate from 50 Kbps to 1 Mbps (up to 8 Mbps for CAN FD).

• Each message must have a unique ID (11 bits in standard mode or 29 bits in extended mode).

This driver supports the below CAN device:

• Kvaser PCIe board.
