CAN - HDL The design of the Controller Area Network (CAN) VHDL IP core started as a prototype activity with the intention to understand the internal of a CAN (Controller Area Network) controller and not to develop the full controller. It was then gradually taken to the present level in a low level priority activity. The HurriCANe has now gone through 4 major versions with a major improvement in the release 3.
The latest release includes the CAN B features not available in the previous releases. The HurriCANe is a VHDL core comprising the following elements: * CAN controller core, The HurriCANe Design Hierarchy is illustrated in the following diagram (click on thumbnail to enlarge).
