Thank you Simon for this link.
The second one to get independent links to resources is the CiA (CAN in Automation)
Product Guide http://www.cia-productguides.org

For protocol stacks:

This question is not easy to answer. It depends:
- on the complexity of the device,
  (remember I asked already if you have to implement a special device profile)
- Of your experiences with the controller and CANopen protocol

If you are just beginning with CANopen, our experience says:
 	Don't start your Development
	Go with a proven CANopen Protocol Stack
It saves you time AND money
