The CAN wiki page

This page collection is intended to provide shared information about aspects of using the CAN network (http://www.can-cia.org). Every user is invited to not only share information but also provide new details and add information directly on the web. CAN was developed by BOSCH. The BOSCH CAN 2.0 B Specification can be downloaded from CiA http://www.can-cia.org/index.php?id=downloads-other-specs But now the CAN protocol is standardized by the ISO. The ISO 11898 document is the reference for all CAN implementations.

• Part 1 defines the CAN protocol
• part 2 specifies the high-speed (non fault-tolerant) physical layer
• part 3 describes the low-speed fault-tolerant physical layer
• part 4 is under development specifies the time-triggered communication (TTCAN) protocol
• part 5 - High-speed medium access unit with low-power mode - defines the power modes of the high-speed medium access unit (MAU)
• part 6 - High-speed medium access unit with selective wake-up functionality (ISO proposal stage)

CAN-Wiki.info is able to provide the information about latest changes on the pages by offering RSS news feed version 2.0.

What is RSS? RSS is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' (optionally 'Rich Site Summary' or 'RDF Site Summary'). Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. More on RSS: http://www.voidstar.com/module.php?id=129&mod=book&op=feed With RSS we offer the advantage to always get the latest CAN-Wiki news without visiting the site.

CAN community is maintaining a mailing list since years CANLIST. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CANbus/messagesearch?query=CANopen
