Help in evaluation needed...

Jan 22, 2004 2 Replies

Hi!



I am looking for an embedded Linux system with the following features: Ethernet, CAN, RS232, a few GPIOs and LCD. The design process should be straightforward. I would prefer an open source distribution because of costs and independence.



Can anyone suggest a good combination of processor and distribution?



I had a look at uCLinux, this seems to be the most advanced distribution



- but is there any CAN-hardware supported?


Thanks in advance, Tankred



P.S.: Sorry for my english...



SnapGear Linux! :)

There are a number of normal Linux CAN projects, I haven't seen any of them running on uClinux systems, but I don't think it would be too hard to port. take a look at:

Hello!

Thank you for your quick response...

Yes, I consider using this one. It supports my this-time-favourite-processor (Motorola Coldfire 5282).

At this page Motorola FlexCAN (which is included in the Coldfire 5282) is supported. I think I´ll try this way.

I wonder if this stuff will work...

Tankred.
