Re: [oc] CAN core

[Shehryar Shaheen <shehryar.shaheen@ul.ie>]

I suppose u already have some background knowledge on CAN

In case u don't I would say start looking into the spec CAN 2.0 , it's free
to download.
Also there are good overviews and introductions available on the net, here
is one of them
http://atlasinfo.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/DAQTRIG/DCS/CANINFO/canhard.pdf

This is just a quick overview but before u go into the spec I would suggest
have a look at this first.
It gives a good introduction the spec goes into minor details.

The point where we decide the exact partitioning of the core and other
design related details
will only come if Bosch is ok with all this :-)

I have sent an e-mail to the concerned person in Bosch, once he gets back to
me
we'll know if we should proceed or not.

Regards

Shehryar
