Which Launcpad is better for CAN and LIN (both) protocol ? Herculus or C2000 based launchpad ?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Project: I have to generate some digital signal (frequency from 1Khz to 10Mhz) and then need to develop both CAN & LIN protocol generation & analyzer circuits.

There is a c2000 microcontroller F28035, which supports both CAN and LIN , but its lunchpad is not available. I can use its Experimenter Kit, but the cost of buying it is much higher than that of Launchpad.

I also checked Herculus Launchpad, and it was looking good for my requirement. I am still confused to choose one between c2000 and Herculus.

I have to also build a GUI for both CAN and LIN . I have only used MSP432 launchpad so i am also not sure which will be easy to code either c2000 or Herculus.

Please guide me.

Thanks,

Neeraj

  • Hi Neeraj,
    What is your targeted application?

    For your mentioned usage, both C2000 and Hercules can support them. Hercules family provides HalCoGen, a GUI based that allows the user to configure peripherals, interrupts, clocks, and other microcontroller parameters. Once the device is configured, the user can generate peripheral initialization and driver code, which can be imported into CCS. This tool can greatly help you get started with your code development. Please see below wiki page to halCoGen tool.
