Supported CAN interface (IXXAT, Vector, Kvaser, etc.)
Personal Computer

Board settings
CAN transceiver is available on board
Multi-core considerations
There are example applications prepared for both CM4 and CM7 cores of the RT116x target platform. The debugger is typically able to load and run the code on any of the cores, but only one core is default (CM7) and will run automatically after reset. This means that the flash-based targets (and both Debug and Release targets on MCUXpresso IDE) are only usable on the default core.
Prepare the demo
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port on the target board.
Connect CAN transceiver to CAN interface on PC. Make sure the CAN bus is properly terminated.
