The Association of Bus, Device, and Driver in Linux

Three important concepts in the Linux device model are bus, device, and driver. That is, bus, device, driver, and in fact, the kernel defines some data structures such as struct bus_type, struct device, and struct device_driver. These three important data structures come from one place, include/linux/device.h. We know that there are many types of buses, … Read more

Analysis of Missing Termination Resistor Phenomenon in CAN Bus

Source:Automotive Chassis Home Requirements for Adding Termination Resistors According to ISO11898-2 regulations on the value of termination resistors, a 120Ω termination resistor must be connected at both ends of the bus, totaling 60Ω on the bus, while intermediate nodes do not require termination resistors, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Termination Resistor Effects of … Read more

Differences Between Bus Control and Multi-Line Control

Bus control, as the name suggests, refers to a control system where many devices are set up on a single bus circuit. As shown in the figure below, all smoke exhaust outlets in the same smoke compartment can be controlled by a single bus control line. A button on the bus control panel can simultaneously … Read more
