CanFestival provide some GUI and command line tools that help in the process of creating a new CanOpen node and edit Object Dictionary, for Master and Slave.

Objdictedit, Object Dictionary editor:

Code generation feature of object dictionary editor can also be used from a command line interface :

	python objdictgen/objdictgen.py Node.od Node.c

Being LGPL, CanFestival runtime library can be linked with any code, proprietary or not. Bindings are very simple and can theoretically be adapted to any target or CAN interface.

When an application is linked with CanFestival, the library use OS timers and CAN interfaces. CAN interface can be loaded dynamically.

At that time, CanFestival natively support Linux and Win32 operating systems. See Supported platforms and CAN devices for more details.

Under development :
- Virtual DS-401 IO block, use wxWidgets.

- CanOpen Master designer GUI
- Object oriented API for CanFestival
- Life CANOpen configurator and analyzer.
