The CANopen Bootloader protocol stack provides the complete functionality for integration of a bootloader according to the CANopen standard in your existing devices. Versatile configuration options facilitate individual customization to a target product. The Bootloader is implemented to meet low storage requirements. At the core of the CANopen Bootloader stack lies a streamlined object dictionary. It supports a variety of CANopen services, including Network Management (NMT), Service Data Object (SDO) with expedited, segmented, and block transfer modes, Emergency messages, Heartbeat communication, and Layer Setting Services (LSS). Furthermore, the stack enables the definition of up to four distinct sections for storing programs and data on your device. The CANopen Download Tool is used to update programs and data of the target hardware.
The CANopen Bootloader protocol stack contains the full functionality for the integration of a bootloader in customer devices according to CANopen specifications. Updating devices is considerably facilitated.
A defined API facilitates adjustment to the flash memory of the target hardware. Flash drivers for various controllers (for example, STM32 series) are part of the CANpie driver.
