free CAN field bus IP for EDK ?

for those who have done it : how much work is it to integrate a CAN controler as the one in opencore into an =B5blaze-EDK design (day, week, month ???)

no one around!

choice 1:

NO WORK, just take Altium Designer and use MicroBlaze or PPC with CAN, well it will be on wishbone as Altium designer uses MicroBlaze with wb wrapper its a bit cheating, AD uses MB from EDK, but it really isnt true EDK solution?

choice 2:

dumb estimates (your mileage may vary)

choice 3: use GRLIB/LEON3 it already has OC CAN to AHB(APB?) wrapper

Hello,

Please notice that your core can be for free but that you must take into account the licence fees to Bosch for the use of the CAN protocol

Therefore it is better to use an external component for which the licence fee is already payed when you buy a component. E.g. Microchip MCP2510. All you need is an SPI core from Xilinx and a small logic core which controls the reset and interrupt.

Kind regards,

Jake

Hi Jake,

do you have any estimates regarding license-costs?

thanks Antti

LEON looks pretty interesting but it is too large to fit into xc3s500e (starter kit)... as soon as the 1600 starter kit is available...

altium ? why not... an other tool

I will ask xilinx for an evaluation license... (all that is for edu. and if we pay for software, we could no more pay for hardware...)

I am new to SoC, coming from software world... It seems to me that these numerous buses (whisbone AHB simpcon EDK...) look like the .DLL hell
