NXP Semiconductors MR-CANHUBK344 Evaluation Board

NXP Semiconductors MR-CANHUBK344 Evaluation Board is an evaluation board for mobile robotics applications such as autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and automated guided vehicles (AGV). Based on the Arm® Cortex®-M7 S32K3 general-purpose automotive microcontroller (MCU), the MR-CANHUBK344 features advanced safety, security, and software support. MR-CANHUBK344 includes 100baseT1 Ethernet (TJA1103) and SIX CAN-FD ports. The six CAN ports are two each of CAN-FD, CAN-SIC (signal improvement), and CAN-SCP (secure). Tunneling CAN over Ethernet using IEEE1722 is one use case. SE050 Secure element with NFC (Near Field Communication) and other general-purpose peripheral interfaces are also accessible on DroneCode standard JST-GH connectors.

Features

Hardware
- Six CAN-FD ports allow for evaluation of each of the different NXP CAN PHYs as well as applications such as bridging between 100BaseT1 Ethernet to multiple CAN protocols
- Functionally safe capable MCU can be evaluated in the context of mobile robotics or other similar industries
- Additional GPIO and interfaces make this suitable for a small robotics vehicle controller, motor controller, or distributed processing peripheral

Software
- S32 Design Studio tools
- Example application for IEEE1722 CAN over Ethernet
- NuttX RTOS Opensource repository
- NuttX/PX4 base example
- Zephyr RTOS open-source repository
