hello,
I'm using IAR LPC2478 board.
Is there any suggestion of open source OS that supports CAN?
I'm very new into this field. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
thank you.
 

Re: suitable OS for CAN.

Depending on the complexity of your final application you may not need a full RTOS.

What are the required tasks to be performed by your ARM device? Which of them are time critical, interrupt driven, etc?

The two main Open Source RTOSs which come to mind are:

eCOS

The FreeRTOS Project

There are several Open Source, but less complex RTOSs available, even rolling your own is an option.

As far as supporting CAN, that is a device specific feature, so you will need to use an available CAN API and write your own driver routines for use in the RTOS of your choice.

my task is to read the data from can devices and transfer them to the ethernet devices.
i'll try to look at these 2 RTOS.
 

hello,
what are major differences between ecos and freertos?
my task is more to networking. thank you.
