The 68000 is the main processor on the CC175. It controls all the on-board peripheral devices including the two CAN controllers. The local processor handles the data transfers between the shared memory and the CAN controllers, thereby relieving the VMEbus host processor from handling interrupts from or transferring data to the CAN controllers. The local processor can execute low level CAN functions as well as standard higher protocol software layers.
All data transfers to or from the CC175 are done by the VMEbus host processor. The local processor is not able to access resources on the VMEbus.
