No
There may be some open source implementations. But be aware that implementations using these packages may not pass the CiA CANopen conformance test. The may be also limited in support for microcontrollers and CAN controllers. Can you please tell us what your target hardware will be?
The CANopen conformance test only checks for the CANopen communication Profile, not for profiles with indexes at 0x6000.
Best regards Heinz
You can also buy some very good books, which contain the standard and some more info. Look at their online shop.

Hi Gautham,

As soon as you want to build a plug-and-play configurable device, I would highly recommend to go with a commercial CANopen solution. Either buy a commercial source code or use a CANopen protcol chip or module such as
