CANbardo

Overview

CANbardo is an open hardware Universal Serial Bus (USB) to Controller Area Network (CAN) adapter board. It is designed to be compatible with the open source CANnectivity USB to CAN adapter firmware.

Hardware

The CANbardo board is equipped with an Atmel SAME70N20B microcontroller and features an USB-C connector (high-speed USB 2.0), two DB-9M connectors for CAN FD (up to 8 Mbit/s), a number of status LEDs, and a push button. Schematics and component placement drawings are available in the CANbardo GitHub repository.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/others/canbardo/canbardo_defconfig.

Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.

System Clock

The SAME70N20B is driven by a 12 MHz crystal and configured to provide a system clock of 300 MHz. The two CAN FD controllers have a core clock frequency of 80 MHz.

Programming and Debugging

Build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Here is an example for the Blinky application.
