TCAN4550-Q1: TI CAN-FD chip (TCAN4450-Q1) has implemented MCAL driver or not?

Part Number: TCAN4550-Q1

Hi team,

My customer is considering to use our CAN-FD solution but they have some question would like to consult with you.

Whether TI CAN-FD chip (TCAN4450-Q1) has implemented MCAL driver to meet AUTOSAR architecture?

Thanks.

    Hello Feng,

    Yes, we have an AUTOSAR driver available.  It implements an ECU abstraction layer that can be used with a standard SPI MCAL driver in order to support CAN communication via TCAN4550-Q1.  I will email you the file.

    Regards,
    Max

    Hi Max,

    Thank for your help. I have received the it. Customer also would like to know whether we have to use Hercules Microcontroller to with this driver or any other controller.

    Hi Ben,

    The driver should work with any processor or microcontroller.  You might want to reference Section 6.1 of our Software User's Guide for more information on the different layers of abstraction used by AutoSAR:

    http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sllu270/sllu270.pdf

    The code we provide is for the ECU abstraction layer, which is processor-independent.  This could make calls to a processor's lower-level MCAL driver, which would implement standard functions like SPI read/writes based on that specific processor's hardware.

    Please let me know if this isn't clear or if you have any further questions.

    Best regards,
    Max
