We can provide you with a kit that will help you on the path to development quickly and easily. The kit comes with:

• Protocol stack (C code)
  
• Example HAL reference design (C code) for STM32 running on a Nucleo board with Cortex M4 microcontroller. This will show you how to implement up to 7 to 10 C functions in the embedded HAL and it will help you write your own HAL for your chosen micro
• User documentation
• X-Analyser Professional CAN, CANopen, J1939 and NMEA2000 analyzer useful for your continuous software development and also facilitates support for you from Warwick Control
• Kvaser Leaf Light CAN to USB interface
• HAL for Kvaser CAN interface (which includes support for running on a virtual CAN channel on the computer)
• 1 year email support
• The source code will be licensed to your company website and can be compiled and included in your products without additional royalties. You may not forward the source code to third parties.

The overall purpose of this kit is that it is ideal for customers who want to port the stack to their own target hardware and they can use the STM32 as a reference to help them.

The advantage of the Kvaser HAL is that the protocol stack can be built in a PC environment using the free Microsoft Visual Studio C compiler and run on a PC. This is especially useful when a customer does not have target hardware available or the hardware is not ready. The stack can communicate with Warwick Control's X-Analyser protocol analyzer software (see www.xanalyser.co.uk) either via a real CAN bus with a Kvaser CAN interface or a simulated CAN bus with virtual CAN drivers.

Note:

• You need to download the free Atollic TrueStudio Compiler and IDE for STM32 to be able to rebuild the project for the Nucleo board.
  
• For NMEA2000 product certification testing, the stack reference design on the Nucleo will pass the current test tool out of the box. This means that once you have made your application changes, less work will be required to get your device to pass NMEA2000 product certification
• A diagnostic stack (UDS-light option) is available for vehicle-based application with a basic ISO-TP and basic range of UDS services

This protocol stack can also be ported to other microcontrollers as a custom engineering project. Contact us for more information.
