CAN Documentation Specification

Hi List,

I work for Smith Electric Vehicles and I am new to this list.

Smith Electric Vehicles deal with a number of suppliers and internal
development teams to design the components used in our vehicles. These
components use various technologies to communicate with each other,
the most prevalent of which is a CAN.

Whilst documenting and tracking issues across these suppliers, we
found that there was often confusion and miscommunication surrounding
the documentation of the use of CAN. Every supplier had a different
documentation format for describing the data structures and locations
of the variables, and this began to make interoperability between
various systems a more difficult task than it needed to be.

We decided to design our own CAN documentation specification. We have
uploaded this to our team blog and are interested in your comments.
