I'm looking into implementing a LIN stack on AM3359 (either ICE or Beaglebone h/w).
My initial reaction was to couple of the AM3359 with an MSP430 then LIN transciever. However, I'm wondering whether the AM3359's UART would be capable of driving LIN directly without the use of the MSP430.
From the random reading I've done so far, a standard UART can be used providing it supports automatic baudrate detection. The MSP430 datasheets specifically reference this to LIN implementation, however the AM3359 UM also spec's automatic baud rate detection. Is it just the case that the AM3359 doesn't reference LIN support for marketing reasons, or is there something more fundemental I'm missing (which is highly likely at this stage)?
Any LIN experts out there?
thanks
Mat
