Learn the Future-Today! Introducing FlexRay EVB
(November 18, 2009)
Why Is FlexRay Relevant to You? FlexRay is the future replacement for CAN in many vehicle network architectures. This means that FlexRay knowledge will soon be required for your occupation. The problem is that the learning curve of FlexRay is long. This means that to be ready, you should begin learning now. An understanding of FlexRay will both prepare you for your future, as well as give you more marketable skills.
The Major Problem ... So you decided you wanted a head start on FlexRay. The problem now is that to setup a basic FlexRay experimentation system, you need to invest tens of thousands of dollars. For those of us without a production program or research budget, it's going to be impossible to get anywhere. You're basically stuck reading the FlexRay specification. We can say from our own experience that this is as fun as getting a root canal at the dentist's office.
The Solution ... Intrepid Control Systems, Inc. has solved this problem (not the root canal problem, but FlexRay). Intrepid introduces the lowest cost FlexRay system on the market by creating a unique design that allows a full FlexRay network and monitoring tool on one low cost board ($750). It is available now from Intrepid's online store.
Benefits
- Experiment with FlexRay technology at a low cost.
- Rest Bus simulation of FlexRay networks.
- Interact with the Bosch ERAY FlexRay Core using Windows Development tools, such as Microsoft Visual Studio.
- Use as a SPI peripheral to other microcontroller development boards.
- Develop FlexRay / Handler ECU code on the PC.
- Reconfigure FlexRay networks without using device programmers.
Please visit the FlexRay EVB website for more detailed information.

If you've made your own cables just to break out a channel from your neoVI, the neoVI-BOB is for you. The neoVI-BOB allows you to connect with separate channels neatly and reliably. The Break-Out Box is easily connected to your neoVI so you can connect to individual channels via banana connectors or DB-9s. The neoVI-BOB provides access to:
- Via Banana Connectors
- SWCAN
- LIN1-LIN4
- ISO K & L
- Via DB-9 Connectors
- HS CAN 1-3
- MS CAN
- LSFT CAN
The neoVI-BOB also provides access to the MISC, T-CLK and power pins on the neoVI-FIRE. The neoVI-BOB comes with a DB-25 to DB-25 cable for connecting the neoVI-BOB to the 25-pin connector of your neoVI. The neoVI-BOB is now in stock and available for $350.00. See more at the product page.
neoVI-OBD-CAN-1 Cable
The neoVI-OBD-CAN-1 cable is a Y cable for connecting your neoVI in line with a DAQ device or other CAN device.
When you've got analog channels to capture along with CAN data, the neoVI-OBD-CAN-1 Cable is a perfect accessory to use. Just connect the 25-pin connector to your neoVI-FIRE, and then connect the OBD connector. The remaining 9-pin connector is wired to the HSCAN3 channel of the neoVI, giving you the ability to connect it to any CAN device you wish. The neoVI-OBD-CAN-1 is now available now for $125.00. See more at the product page.

The MBTime Microchip bit timing page is located on our support site.
Free FIBEX Viewing Tool
(May 14, 2008)
FIBEX is a ASAM standard for Vehicle Network information. FIBEX purpose is a standard file format to allow tools to share vehicle network definitions electronically. FIBEX is the defacto industry standard way to share FlexRay cluster definitions. In the past OEMs usually used text based descriptions in Word documents or proprietary file formats to store this data. These formats were difficult or impossible to share across tools.
Intrepid has created this tool for customers working with FIBEX files who want to learn more about the format. The tool allows you to view the files and search the FIBEX and FlexRay specification. Intrepid also supports loading FIBEX files in the Vehicle Spy application software for FlexRay applications.
The Tiny Fibex viewer page is located on our support site.
ETAS Partnership
(Aug 30, 2007)
Intrepid Control Systems is happy to announce that we have become an official ETAS GmbH partner through the ETAS partner program. Intrepid has worked closely with ETAS on numerous customer projects as well as new product development. The first product to be released as a result of this working relationship is the up and coming ES581. We are happy to extend this relationship through the ETAS partner program. We invite you to the ETAS booth at the Novi Testing Expo (site) where we will demonstrate how ETAS Products and Intrepid Control Systems products can mutually enhance each other and bring more value to our customers.
Free Tool - ICS' Tiny ODX Viewer
(Aug 24, 2007)
Intrepid has created this tool for customers working with ODX files who want to learn more about the format. The tool allows you to view the files and search the ODX specification. Intrepid also supports loading ODX files in the Vehicle Spy application software The ODX standard is a very large and "flexible" standard. This means that OEMs tend to implement ODX in different ways. While an OEM's implementation will vary from another's, ODX is still useful because much of the file format does remain the same. This allows an ODX parser to load and parse these different OEM formats with minimal software changes. Tiny ODX Viewer Page
