Anyone here use it? Any good sites? Caveots?

Siemens C167CR/Thomson ST10 CPU's are good
for CAN bus, nice all-around embedded 16-bitters with internal flash and good CAN
controller.

Motorola 56F8xx series have internal CANs
and are pretty good, though the C167CR
is easiest to develop with PLS tools, there
is both slower S/W version of their tool,
and much more advanced, excellent h/w+s/w
version, but it costs, though much less for
students. Keil debugger is also fair for
the Can development, but does not match
PLS.

Microchip has 2510 CAN chip for PICs and
others that use SPI bus, pretty ok.

Philips has also can-controllers, and
many others.

CAN has worked as a better way to perform
serial communications, more reliable and
fairly easy to use, beating uart/rs485 at
least in automotive apps. Supports loads
of nodes.
