This Low cost, Hand held, Diagnostics unit answers the 4
questions I always ask anyone reporting a CAN
network that "does not work"
1) Whats the CAN speed or speeds if FD?
2) Is the network correctly terminated ?
3) What voltages are you seeing on the Pins
4) Whats the bus message load and error frames
Once you get one of these your first job will be
write a note for your pin board with space for who has
borrowed it and when because there is only one thing
worse than not having the right tools for the job and
that is having the right tool but not being able to
remember who borrowed it.
It handles 2.0 A and B as well as FD

users manual follow this link
PCAN MiniDiag FD
£325.50 +
you will probably also need a T cable to connect it £26.25

CAN FD interfaces now available
The latest enhancement to the CAN standard is CAN FD in which the
data segment of the CAN message is transmitted at up to 10 times
faster than the 1Mbit rate of CAN 2.0B.
For details of CAN FD see our
Updated Tutorial
Both single and double CAN channel USB FD, PCI
and PC104 interfaces are now available from Peak.
See our CAN FD page
For "everyday CAN 2.0 use" our low cost
CAN-USB 2.0B interface is now
only £174.25
Peaks 2019 Catalogue with 132 pages of CAN interfaces, Modules and Software
is now available but be warned its a
32MBytes download

And now with faster links to both
the PC and the target the Cyclone Universal FX
can
speed up the production line and add extra security to your
programming process.
......... For more details of this product see
Cyclone Universal FX
Example of Flash programming speed
for NXP Kinetis K70 (eMMC) : programming runs at
3,063 KB/s and Verify is 3,971 KB/s |
CPU Support and features are as for the Cyclone Universal
with the following enhancements :-
-
USB 2.0 link now supports
"High-speed" protocol (up to 480Mb/sec link to the PC).
-
1 Gbyte internal memory,
no practical limit to # of images held.
-
SDHC Port for even more space.
-
For most recent CPUs ( e.g.
Cortex M0-4, Qorivva,
HC16/683xx, Coldfire
and MPC5xx/8xx ) a variant of the communication link
to the target is provided that increases the download
speed to a max of 25Mb/sec giving up to 5 x faster download
of data.
-
Additional security features
include ensuring that if you outsource your production
no one can "run off a few units" without you knowing.

PEmicros low cost high speed
USB Universal On Chip Debugging
Interface
The USB Multilink Universal On-Chip-Debugging cable
supports most NXP/Freescale chips and with suitable software can
be used for Flash Programming and Debugging embedded target systems.
It works with JTAG, SWD and BDM On-Chip-Debugging protocols.
If you are unfamiliar with the use of "On-Chip-Debugging" we
have a short tutorial
It support these NXP/Freescale architectures:-
Cortex M4 (see above) , Kinetis (JTAG and SWD), ColdFire
V1, +V1 and V2 - 4 , Qorivva MPC55xx/56xx/57xx, HC(S)12(X),
S12Z, HCS08, RS08 and DSC series.
Includes are ribbon cables for
all supported architectures
Fast, hassle-free USB 2.0 communications
interface
Draw their power directly from the USB
port – no external power supply needed
Multi-voltage support for targets ranging
from 1.6 to 5.25 Volts
Auto-frequency detection for HC(S)12(X), HCS08 + trimming
capabilities for HCS08 devices.
Generates programming voltage on RESET line for RS08 devices.
For
more details.
Aside from supporting a wider range of chips
( add 68K,HC16, PX & PPC 5xx/8xx) a major attraction of the Universal
FX version is that for Synchronous architectures such as the
Kinetis, Qorivva, Coldfire V2-V4, 683xx, HC16, Power
Architecture PX Series and the DSC the communications can run at
4 to 10 times faster than the older Multilink interfaces giving
faster downloading of code and uploading of debug information.

Price
Price is always part of any engineering decision so we have always tried
to publish prices along with our technical literature. Those items which
are normally supplied from stock have their price held on our web shop -
you can move back and forward to look at technical information without loosing
the contents of your shopping basket. The prices shown on the web shop are
for cash with order purchase within the UK for a wide range of products
that are normally available for next day shipping with following day delivery
or at worst on a 5 to 10 day turnaround <see BREXIT note top of page> and
the web site prices do not include VAT (20%) or shipping. Prices shown
on the web site that are sourced from companies in the EU and US may regrettably
be out of date given the fast moving exchange rate variations of the current
economic climate - call for up to date prices.
Prices for international
purchases are essentially the same but additional costs must be covered
and the
paperwork is more complex. Follow this link for details of
International Purchase conditions.
The Universal Currency Converter™ comes to you by kind permission of those
nice people at Xenon Laboratories. It is supplied as a guide to exchange
rates and neither Xenon nor Computer Solutions make any guarantees as to
it's accuracy.
About us
Computer Solutions Ltd or COMSOL for short has been in business for 40
years selling embedded development tools and working on consultancy
projects. During this time our consultancy activities have ranged from designing
true single chip applications to one system which has over 7,000 linked
microprocessors (and that was before the days of the internet).
We like a technical challenge and many of the products described on this
site have come onto our books as the result of responding to a clients need.
So if you don’t see the answer to your embedded design problem on the site,
drop us an email or give us a call and we will try to find you the tool
you are looking for.
