Diagnostic Support Implementation
Not-so-small embedded Motorola 68k processor
- provides the flexibility needed for research prototype
- can communicate with CPU via serial port, if desired
- still can run just a small, simple monitoring and control program if desired (no OS, networking, etc.)
CAN (Controller Area Network) diagnostic interconnect
- one brick per “shelf” of 8 acts as gateway from CAN to redundant switched Ethernet fabric
- CAN connects directly to automotive environmental monitoring sensors (temperature, fan RPM, ...)
