Besides PCI and ISA, IXXAT now also supports the single channel USB-to-CAN compact and the dual channel USB-to-CAN II interface with a layer-2 Linux driver free of charge.This enables the development and the usage of customer specific analysis, configuration and test applications on notebooks and other mobile systems. Due to the common driver interface, an adaptation of existing Linux applications to support the USB interfaces can be made very easily. The Linux driver provides all functions necessary for the initialization of the CAN interfaces as well as for the transmission and reception of CAN messages.
The easily configurable filter functions and message queues reduce the implementation effort considerably.The driver is delivered as source code and can be used flexibly by customer applications or adapted to specific customer needs. Besides Linux, IXXAT provides drivers for Microsoft Windows and VxWorks.
