Abstract

In the automotive industry, the usage of microcontrollers has been increasing rapidly. Many mechanical parts of automobiles are being replaced with microcontrollers, and these microcontrollers are controlling various parts of the automobile, so communications between microcontrollers must be reliable. Until now, several protocols for automotive communications have been introduced, and LIN, CAN, and FlexRay are the most widely known protocols. Different vendors of automobiles use different protocols and each protocol possess different features. This paper presents a network gateway system between LIN, low-speed CAN, high-speed CAN, and FlexRay.
