Benchmarking and analysis of can transmision on real-time environment

Abstract

This paper targets to relate the latency and performance among the Linux CAN drivers that is Socket CAN and RTCAN which are the open source CAN drivers. Linux is one of the open source kernel which is moreover a cost effective and is the best alternative compared with other expensive patented RTOS. Socket CAN is added to Linux kernel mainline which is idealized by most CAN developers, however RTCAN is an emerging trend in the field of development in which research work is in emergent phase. Here in this paper we are focusing on analysis of RTCAN to prove that it is better than the most preferred Socket CAN so that the developer's interest will be switched over RTCAN for more advanced and desired research based on their applications, which is solely dependent on the results obtained. Basically for the above mentioned analysis we perform virtual CAN analysis and hardware testing. The analysis of performance, latency and timing is compared between both SocketCAN and RTCAN. From the compared results, we will finally benchmark.
