MilCAN Module Development Kit


MMDK1A1

MMDK Datasheet

The MilCAN Module Development Kit is a custom-made reference hardware design and software development kit of a MilCAN-A Protocol (MWG-MILA-001 R3) Stack offloading co-processor.

The Module runs a MilCAN-A Stack in a controlled environment, offloading the processing of MilCAN-A protocol real-time and synchronous functions from a Host computer system that runs the user application using a generic Operating System. Time sensitive MilCAN-A functions are handled internally by the Module while the user developed application runs independently in the Host system and communicates asynchronously with the Module via a library API.
