Volcano Target Package (VTP) for CAN & LIN

The Volcano Target Package (VTP) embedded communication software offers maximum flexibility and ease-of-use for application programmers. VTP consists of a Configuration Tool and the software modules necessary to provide CAN and LIN communication for your application.

The embedded software is distributed in the form of precompiled and fully validated object libraries with associated documentation. The usage of slim interfaces guarantees an easy integration into the ECU software. Optimized utilization of all microcontroller resources allows the VTP to be used as a multi-purpose, customizable software package.

Features and Details

Benefits

  • Predictable real-time behavior, no data-loss under any circumstances
  • Efficiency (low memory usage, fast execution time, small code size)
  • Portability (low cost involved when moving to a new platform)

Target Package Characteristics

  • Validated object code
  • Optimized driver code size
  • Efficient interrupt service routines

Simple Application Development

  • Signal-based API
  • Communication behavior configured by VNA output files (using PC configuration tool)

Multiple Protocol Driver Support

  • Supports both CAN and LIN

Integrated Signal Gateway

  • Gateway signals automatically between networks

Reconfiguration Flexibility

  • Change signal and frame mappings without requiring a recompile

LIN Target Package (LTP)

The Volcano LIN Target Package (LTP) is a LIN-only product that provides a resource-efficient implementation for LIN nodes according to the LIN 2.1 standard. The LIN standard was the first standard to go beyond the protocol definition and also define the API, the network description file, and the node capability file. As a founding member of The LIN Consortium and thus a major contributor to the LIN standard, Mentor Graphics has created an implementation of the LIN 2.1 standard that fully supports a top-down design process for LIN networks.
