New Eagle has announced software support for the CODESYS development environment across its rugged electronic control units (ECUs), starting with the John Deere M-series Controllers. This update expands development options for OEMs and system integrators in off-highway, utility, and industrial vehicle markets, including those working on electrified platforms.
By enabling the use of the industry-standard CODESYS platform, New Eagle allows engineering teams to implement control strategies using familiar tools while continuing to deploy on proven vehicle-grade hardware.
Electrified vehicle (EV) developers can now leverage CODESYS for applications such as battery management, electric drive control, and system coordination, without needing to switch ECU suppliers or compromise production readiness.
Compatible ECU hardware
The supported ECUs are hardware-identical to those already used with New Eagle’s Raptor toolchain, sharing approximately 98% of the board-level software. This continuity enables teams to maintain their existing hardware supply chains and validation infrastructure while selecting the software environment that ideally suits the application. This is particularly beneficial in EV projects where tool flexibility and rapid iteration are crucial.
This development supports:
- Electrified vehicle platforms in construction, agriculture, and utility sectors
- Projects using CANopen for subsystem communication and modularity
- Engineering teams standardizing on CODESYS across industrial and mobile applications
Features include:
- CODESYS software now available on select ECUs
- Future support for CCM112 and RCM112 planned in 2025
- No hardware redesign required; same performance with broader software compatibility
- Integration into the CODESYS Partner Community to align with global developer practices
New Eagle’s ECU platforms are already deployed in demanding environments. The addition of CODESYS support addresses a growing need for software flexibility in electrified vehicle development and provides an alternative to proprietary stacks, especially in markets where adaptability, reliability, and long-term maintainability are essential.
