The MACH-ETH is an automotive network interface that features one Ethernet port, two CAN FD channels, a LIN channel, a USB and RS-232 port, and multiple I/Os.
The device can act as an Ethernet-CAN(/FD) or Ethernet-LIN interface as well as CAN(/FD)-LIN gateway, and a user-scripting feature allows to run user applications directly on the device. The open communication protocol enables access to interface’s channels over Ethernet or USB.
The communication protocol over Ethernet or USB enables access to CAN(/FD) and LIN bus channels over Ethernet or virtual COM port respectively.
A user-scripting feature, which allows to run user applications directly on the MCU, can be used for HiL testing and rest-bus simulations. The device can act as an interface, a gateway, or bridge between all its channels.
An analogue input and a digital output enable the user to interact with external peripherals.

The open communication protocol (API) allows to easily access CAN(/FD) and LIN channels over Ethernet (supports both TCP and UDP) or USB VCP. With the help of the communication protocol, the user can configure the device’s CAN/CAN FD/LIN channels and frames can be transmitted and received.
User Programming
The device firmware can also be fully customizable in C language. An open-source SDK, which shows the use of all the peripherals, is available on GitHub. A user application can be uploaded into the device over web bootloader or USB. It is also possible to debug the application directly on the target (STM32 SWD).
