HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT THE MCP2515 DEVELOPMENT KIT IS
This user's guide is written assuming some basic knowledge of the CAN protocol and
the terms defined by the CAN protocol. Those users who do not have this basic CAN
knowledge are encouraged to read Microchip's Application Note 713, “CAN Basics”
(DS00713), the MCP2515 data sheet (DS21801) and/or the Bosch™ GmbH CAN
specification, version 2.0. AN713 and the MCP2510 data sheet are available on
Microchip's web site at www.microchip.com.
This chapter discusses:
• What the MCP2515 Development Kit is
• Multiple uses for the MCP2515 Development Kit
• How the MCP2515 Development Kit helps you
• Host computer system requirements
The MCP2515 Development Kit is a two-node Controller Area Network (CAN) tool that
can be used in the evaluation/implementation of the MCP2515 stand-alone CAN con-
troller. The software allows manipulation of the MCP2515 at the bit and byte levels with
one template, while providing high-level control with a second template.
• One node is controlled by the PC that acts as a microcontroller using the provided
• The second node is controlled by a microcontroller that is programed by the user
The two nodes are connected via a CAN bus that is also routed off-board through a
connector, allowing the target board to be connected to an external CAN bus. This
node will be referred to as “node 1” throughout this document.
software. This node can be used for basic MCP2515 evaluation/development and
will be referred to as “node 0” throughout this document.
as part of device validation and/or system development.
