FlexCAN

FlexCAN is an embedded network architecture that extends Controller Area Network (CAN). It was designed by Dr. Juan Pimentel at Kettering University. It was inspired by FlexRay and the need to provide more deterministic behavior over the CAN network. Its focus is on redundancy at the hardware level, and time-based prioritized communication at the protocol level.

Benefits of FlexCAN

FlexCAN is similar to CAN except for the following improvements:

Deterministic Behavior
Increased reliability

gollark: Who are not using it for low-level things.

gollark: Bees WILL be deployed against C users.

gollark: We should replace C(++) mostly with Rust or maybe Zig or high-level languages.

gollark: Consider a random CLI tool. That probably does *not* need access to C libraries specifically. Or a random desktop application.

gollark: That's mostly a bad reason because a lot of the time they *don't* really, or there are already libraries binding to C stuff.
