Advances in programmable hardware have simplified integration of communication facilities in low-cost hardware components. This has proved to be beneficial in the design of distributed embedded systems as it allows the communication subsystem to provide important properties at a low level. The present work follows this approach in order to achieve timeliness in CAN networks. This paper describes the implementation of the LST-CAN protocol in programmable hardware. This protocol is an extension to CAN which ensures timely communication regardless of environmental interferences.
