Libcanard v0.100, implementing UAVCAN/CAN v1, is now available: > **[GitHub - OpenCyphal/libcanard: A compact implementation of the UAVCAN/CAN...](https://github.com/OpenCyphal/libcanard)** > > A compact implementation of the UAVCAN/CAN protocol in C for high-integrity real-time embedded systems - GitHub - OpenCyphal/libcanard: A compact implementation of the UAVCAN/CAN protocol in C for ... Key features: - Full test coverage and static analysis. - Partial compliance with automatically enforceable MISRA C rules (compliance report not available). - Detailed time complexity and memory requirement models for the benefit of real-time high-integrity applications. - Purely reactive API without the need for background servicing. - Support for CAN FD. - Support for redundant transports. - Compatibility with 8/16/32/64-bit platforms. - The API operates on contiguous memory buffers [instead of scattered linked blocks](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/canardrxtransfer-payload-reading/600). - Compatibility with extremely resource-constrained baremetal environments starting from ca. 32K ROM, 4…8K RAM. - Implemented in less than 1500 logical lines of code. API stabilization is expected by 2020Q4 or earlier. Starting now, it is expected to be safe to commence a new project reliant on UAVCAN v1.0 based on Libcanard and/or PyUAVCAN. Libuavcan v1 (a major C++11 implementation) and Yukon (the new GUI tool) are expected to become available before the end of 2020. ---

That’s great news! Congratulations for the awesome work. I have noticed that the drivers have disappeared, do you plan to move them to a separate repo? ---

I am going to migrate the driver for STM32 and SocketCAN in the short order.

Is there a particular reason why canardRxAccept and rxSessionUpdate does not return the error codes which are the cause of the problem while in the code the cause is clear? For example: ```auto canardRxAccept canard.c:1054 out = 0; // No matching subscription. canard.c:1059 out = 0; // Mis-addressed frame (normally it should be filtered out by the hardware). canard.c:1064 out = 0; // A non-UAVCAN/CAN input frame. ``` ```auto rxSessionUpdate canard.c:835 if (correct_transport && correct_toggle && correct_tid) ``` ---

There used to be a demo that with some effort could be compiled and executed. Is an akin demo that will work with v1? Will it be included as part of the socketcan tests? ---

Hi Hugo! There is no such thing at the moment, but we would welcome it emphatically if one created it independently (in a separate repo). At the moment all we have to offer in this sense is: - The demo given in the Libcanard README (it’s not a complete example but it’s better than nothing). - This demo for GNU/Linux SocketCAN (download the file): [Automatic configuration of port identifiers](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/automatic-configuration-of-port-identifiers/840/3) ---

hey… I have created two example node repos (url upon request since the url might change). One node just listens to the heartbeat while another only produces a heatbeat. Next step for me is to create a template repo of a basic node project for vscode with the idea of slowly adding code to implement different sections of Chapter 5 of the UAVCAN Specification. I would like to petition that the code be part of the UAVCAN repo? If not I will be happy to host it at github. Please advise. ---

Great stuff, Hugo. I’ve looked at [GitHub - hugo-a-garcia/uavcan-c-example · GitHub](https://github.com/hugo-a-garcia/uavcan-c-example) and [GitHub - hugo-a-garcia/uavcan-c-node · GitHub](https://github.com/hugo-a-garcia/uavcan-c-node) and it seems promising. ![image](https://forum.opencyphal.org/uploads/default/original/1X/cd4a4bdac745258d4fa94cbb52e0ae74311b1eae.jpeg) Our general unspoken policy was to keep only the core software components under the UAVCAN repo: implementation libraries, DSDL, the spec, core tools, the website, and such. We cut down even on the [platform-specific drivers](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/platform-specific-components/768/5), removing the multiple repos and dumping everything into one place to keep the organization well-focused on the things of primary importance instead of some hardware-specific nuance. The story of examples is identical to that: we have separate v0 demos maintained by third parties (if you search the Web you will find many) but none by the dev team. I am inclined to keep it this way. However, this is suboptimal in the sense of discoverability: unless you advertise your examples feverishly, people may fail to find them, and nobody would benefit. So I suggest that we set up a sticked wiki-post on this forum (in this very category because your demos are libcanard-based) that any regular visitor could edit to keep it up-to-date with links to existing demos, unofficial tutorials, and similar useful things out there. If you are okay with that, please go ahead and kickstart that wiki post here. I think @aentinger and @TSC21 should be aware of this discussion. ---

Good morning 👋 ☕ Great work 🚀 Easy compilable and executable examples will make it easier for any novice to tip their toes into UAVCAN development. Therefore I heartily endorse Pavel’s suggestion of setting up a sticky post gathering relevant code examples. I believe [107-Arduino-UAVCAN](https://github.com/107-systems/107-Arduino-UAVCAN), an Arduino library providing an abstract and simple to use UAVCAN interface, might also be a relevant entry to that example page. I’m not sure if you got to open such a page yet, since @pavel.kirienko is most familiar with this forum and it’s configuration I’d ask him to setup the page which then we can fill with content. Cheers, Alex ---

I will add them by the end of the week. Currently working on the platform-specific component(PSC) for Arduino AVR. I already have an .ino sending a heartbeat (turning on the LED too) using a timer interrupt on an Arduino Mega. . Going to use the " MCP\_CAN Library for Arduino" by Corey Fowler (unless someone has a better suggestion?) in combination with code from the libcanard/socketcan PSC to produce a basic libcanard/avrcan PSC. I will also look at the avr driver from v0. Thus having a C template project for Linux and a C template project for Arduino AVR. ---

**Libcanard v1.0.0** is now (finally) available. The road from the first commit to the first stable release took about five years, so this is a major milestone for us. > **[Release v1.0 · OpenCyphal/libcanard](https://github.com/OpenCyphal/libcanard/releases/tag/1.0.0)** > > The first stable release of Libcanard supporting UAVCAN/CAN v1.0.

Here is the **migration guide** from Libcanard v0.100 to the stable v1.0.0. It is super short: 1. Update your subject-ID idenfiers by clearing the two most significant bits. The maximum subject-ID was 32767 (15 bits), it was contracted down to **8191** (13 bits) in the Specification v1.0-beta. For example, the subject-ID of 32085 (0x7d55) would become 7509 (0x1d55). Notice that in many cases, this change does not really affect wire compatiblity between v0.100 and v1.0.0 (unless low subject-ID values are used) because the two removed bits are set to 1 when transmitting and ignored when receiving. This is now stabilized in Specification. 2. When creating new subscriptions, the parameter `extent` should contain the extent of the data type, not just the maximum size of the object. Here is the explanation from the docs: ---
