PCAN-RP1210-C API Version History

2024-12-18 - Version 4.0.7

Bug fixes:

• The return value of the RP1210_GetHardwareStatus function was wrong
• It was possible to connect to the channels of only one PCI card, although several cards were connected to the PC
• It was not possible to connect to any PCAN-LAN channel (PCAN-Gateway devices)

Changes:

• Adjustments to comments in the code and in the help document for better understanding
  
  

2024-04-24 - Version 4.0.6

Improvements:

• Test application supports sending J1939 request commands
• Test application now colorizes received echo messages

Bug fixes:

• When the API was configured to receive echoes, all large J1939 messages received were marked as echoes, regardless of whether they were echoes or not
• When the API was configured to receive echoes, self-transmitted and normally received J1939 single-frame and CAN messages had their reception status inverted
  
  

2023-07-12 - Version 4.0.5

Improvements:

• General enhancements and adjustments within the test application

Bug fixes:

• When a channel had associated PCAN networks configured for CAN FD communication, trying to connect to that channel ended with the 'HARDWARE_NOT_RESPONDING' error
• PCAN-PCI Express cards were being registered and shown with a wrong name
• The test application was showing wrong PGN values when using the J1939 protocol

Changes:

• The test application is suitable for 64-bit Windows operating systems only
  
  

2023-03-07 - Version 4.0.4

Improvements:

• Enhancements regarding ARM64

Bug fixes:

• Fixed issue retrieving file version using the RP1210_ReadVersion or RP1210_ReadDetailedVersion functions

Changes:

• RP1210_ClientConnect now returns ERR_CAN_BAUD_SET_NONSTANDARD only if another RP1210 application has initialized the hardware with a different bit rate than 250 kbit/s, not when a general CAN application like PCAN-View does
  
  

2022-10-21 - Version 4.0.3

Improvements:

• New ARM64 API library
  
  

2022-08-30 - Version 4.0.2

Improvements:

• General code enhancements

Bug fixes:

• Attempting to connect to an existing and registered channel resulted in HARDWARE_NO_RESPONDING in some scenarios
• When registering a device, its ID value was saved in the wrong format in some scenarios
• Test app bug fixed: Creating a message to transmit over CAN with DLC 0 was causing the app to crash

Changes:

• There is no single RP1210 setup anymore. A RP1210 package is now delivered containing documentation, header files, and a test application
  
  

2021-12-10 - Version 4.0.1

Improvements:

• RP1210_Test Application updated to support broadcast messages configuration for all three protocols, CAN, J1939, and ISO15765

Bug fixes:

• The configuration of some commands via the function RP1210_SendCommand returned OK when the protocol of the underlying client did not support the command (e.g. J1939 client issuing RPCMD_SET_BROADCAST_FOR_CAN)
• Broadcast messages for J1939 and ISO15765 were not working
• Newly configured CAN broadcast messages were first sent after the specified time interval had expired and not at the time of inclusion
  
  

2020-07-16 - Version 4.0.0

Improvements:

• Support for ISO 15765-2 added

2019-08-05 - Version 2.1.0

Bug fixes:

• In some scenarios, messages were being lost/discarded when using RP1210_ReadMessage in blocking mode (synchronization problems)
• The device selection logic in RP1210_ClientConnect was working wrong for USB devices in some scenarios
• Some connection resources (nets) were being left initialized after unloading the PEAKRP32.dll
  
  

2018-05-07 - Version 2.0.6

2017-11-16 - Version 2.0.4

Bug fixes:

• The configuration of CAN or J1939 filters (function RP1210_SendCommand) was only working for the first element of the data passed to the function. Further items were discarded
  
  

2017-08-17 - Version 2.0.3

Improvements:

2014-09-16 - Version 1.0.1

Improvements:

• Now is possible to connect RP12010 applications to hardware that are being used from another applications
• A send queue for J1939 messages is used now. This avoid the return of the error “ALREADY_SENDING” when the function RP1210_SendMessage was called too fast when sending peer to peer messages

Bug fixes:
