• CANopenIA-MGR: CANopen Manager (master)

Directory "CODE": Contains code examples

Directory "DOC" Contains the main CANgineBerry documentation of the hardware, the bootloader and the COIAUpdater utility.

Directory "UTIL" Contains the utilities provided.

• COIA: generic command line utility for communicating with the CANopenIA-MGR and CANopenIA-BEDS apps

• TST (dir): directory with shell scripts as example and for testing

Step-by-step First Operation

1. Connect CANgineBerry to the host computer system, like a Raspberry Pi or Windows PC using a USB-to-UART module (when using such a module, ensure voltage levels are as required: 5V supply, but only 3.3V signals)

2. On host computer system start the COIAUpdater utility to connect to the CANgineBerry. Use option "-h" for help. You must know the UART/COM port (e.g. 'COM5') used. Example:

$ COIAUpdater -p 5 -i

3. If the CANgineBerry does not have the desired firmware and/or configuration stored, use the COIAUpdater utility to load the firmware and configuration wanted.

4. Depending on firmware loaded, use COIA, RemoteAccess or other utilities on the host system to operate the CANgineBerry.
