2.3 Automotive Networking Development Board Connections
The EV39Y17A extension board can be connected to any microcontroller board that contains a mikroBUS Host Header. The 24-Pad VQFN socket board contains both the I2C and the SPI interface as shown in Board Configuration. The diagram below shows the Automotive Networking Development Board. This board is a low-cost modular development system for Microchip’s 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers targeting CAN and LIN network-related applications.
Due to the modular nature of the Automotive Networking Development Board, only a generic photo of the board is shown below. There are multiple LIN and CAN Controllers that can be connected through the mikroBUS connectors along with the EV39Y17A socket security board. Each of these devices can be connected via any of the mikroBUS headers. A 100-pin plug-in microcontroller module (PIM) is also required for complete system operation. Microchip has a variety of PIM modules that can be used with this development board. Examples of mikroBUS click boards and PIM modules are shown in the Additional Resources section.
