J1708
Protocol
Stack

Our J1708 Device Driver provides a simple application program interface (API) for sending and receiving SAE J1708 messages. It is designed to work with our J1587 software and abstracts away the technical details and many complexities associated with message timing and interfacing to the physical layer. This increases the simplicity of your application software, improves your reliability, and shortens your product’s time to market.

The J1708 device driver was designed by Simma Software and has been used in numerous automotive embedded systems. Also, it has been validated to withstand 100% bus utilization on multiple networks simultaneously. If you have questions about J1708, try our J1708 Introduction.

J1708 Software Details:

  • MISRA C compliant
  • ANSI C source code
  • Use with or without an RTOS
  • Supports Multi-frame messages
  • Use with 8, 16, 32, or 64-bit CPU
  • Use with J1587/J1708 flash bootloader
  • ssJ1708 user’s manual

SAE J1708

Introduction

The SAE J1708 specification was defined by the SAE and TMC in 1986. Its main purpose is to address the transmission of electronic signals and information among truck and bus components (i.e. Electronic Control Units or ECUs).

J1708 is mainly used on heavy-duty and commercial vehicles. It defines the physical layer and data link layer. Common application and transport layers used on J1708 are J1587 and J1922. J1587 communicates diagnostic information, while J1922 communicates control data. J1708 is outdated and is currently being phased out of production. It is being replaced by J1939.

J1708 Data Link

J1708 is a differential serial communications bus which is half duplex and multi-master (i.e. multi-drop). It uses 8, N, 1 byte framing and has a network speed of 9600 bits per second (bps). The first byte of every message is the MID, which stands for message identifier. Every message ends with a twos complement checksum.

Ports

Our real-time SAE J1708 device driver is written in the ANSI C programming language. It is target specific and incorporates the details for a given microcontroller.

Together ssJ1587 and ssJ1708 form a complete ported system allowing customers to be up and running on a J1587/J1708 network almost immediately. Our ssJ1708 device driver has been ported to over 15 different microcontrollers. Below is the list of available ports. Please contact us if you are interested in a port or device driver for a hardware platform that is not listed.
