Try to put the latest devices on top of each section and mark end-of-line products. Only specify the main parameters of the micro controllers and go more into deep with details about the CAN interface. Always try to put a link to the data sheet or manual.

MSP430 16 bit RISC low power CPU. The 430 doesn’t have a CAN protocol controller yet, you need to get an external CAN controller (note this is in addition to the differential bus transceiver which is always needed). Recently I read a German article “Fit für den Einsatz im Automobil” where author Ralf Eckhardt mentioned: “derivates with a singly 5V supply, 5V AD converter, CAN, LIN and imroved timer …. will be avaialbale 2014. — Heinz-Jürgen Oertel 2012/06/07 13:29

• SoC AM335x, SOC which has D_CAN peripheral vs the Beagleboard which uses TI's AM37x SOC and it does not have CAN peripheral integrated. AM3517 SOC has HECC CAN peripheral which is different than D_CAN found on AM335x. Both HECC and D_CAN drivers have been submitted to the linux-can list and HECC is already mainline - D_CAN driver has been submitted to this list and is undergoing review - it will be merged with the C_CAN driver shortly.
  For first steps try Pengwyn evaluation board or BeagleBone.

F28M3x dual-subsystem microcontroller combines an ARM Cortex-M3™ core with the C28x core on to one device. The C28x with up to 150MHz is optimized for Real-time control. The M3x with up to 100MHz is optimized for Host communications: Ethernet, USB, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C and Scheduling and Operating Systems. The Cortex M3 CPU has two CAN channels.
See above Concerto family.
