Re: Do black jaguars come with functional CAN firmware?

The black jaguars can be updated over serial without any CAN bus connections. Simply plug the serial adaptor (the 6 conductor blackwire) in to your laptop and load new firmware.
You mean with the BDC-COMM? I'm pretty sure that goes through CAN. (That is, the data goes from the serial line in to the processor, out the master CAN controller, and into the slave CAN controller, and then into the processor. When nothing is hooked up to the serial port, only the slave CAN controller is used.)
Is there another utility you're referring to?

(You are correct, this is my secondary question if the answer to the first question is "no").
