UCANS32K146 software enablement
UCANS32K146 is a build target for PX4 Autopilot. PX4 is an open source flight control software for drones and other unmanned vehicles. While UCANS32K146 is not a flight controller, it can leverage the PX4 infrastructure to provide communications and portability of peripheral drivers, leading to enablement of a distributed vehicle architecture. For example drivers for secure element SE050 would be identical on the FMU and CAN nodes. PX4 makes use of a managed and maintained version of NuttX RTOS.
In addition to PX4, UCANS32K146 is also a build target in Apache NuttX and can therefore be used without PX4 infrastructure if not needed.
UAVCAN is a lightweight protocol designed for reliable intravehicular communication in aerospace and robotic applications over CAN bus, ethernet, and other robust transports. The name UAVCAN stands for Uncomplicated Application-level Vehicular Communication And Networking. It is created to address the challenge of deterministic on-board data exchange between systems and components of next-generation intelligent vehicles: manned and unmanned aircraft, spacecraft, robots, and cars.
CAN driver compatible with SocketCAN API, takes benefit of POSIX socket API for painless and portable CAN application development.
This software interface supports debugging UAVCAN and CAN on PC reusing an UCANS32K board reprogrammed as a debugger.
