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: It's not like "oh no where do I put my camera" is an unsolved problem.
gollark: I think the companies do, in fact, know roughly what the majority of people want, and the people who care much about repairability and dislike notches and whatever else are in the minority.
gollark: Sounds like something which could break easily.
gollark: Among many other things!
gollark: I just want actual rectangular screens and no weird camera notches again!
