Abstract The study of the periodic solutions for planar continuous piecewise linear systems, when they have only two linearity regions separated by a straight line is the simplest possible configuration in piecewise linear systems. We remark that even in this seemingly simple case, only after a thorough analysis it was possible to establish the existence at most of one limit cycle for such systems. The reason for that misleading simplicity of piecewise linear systems is twofold. First, even one can easily integrate solutions in any linearity region, the time that each orbit requires to pass from a linearity region to each other is unknown and so the matching of the corresponding solutions is an intricate problem. Second, the number of parameters to consider in order to be sure that one copes with all possible configurations is typically not small, so that the achievement of efficient canonical forms with fewer parameters is crucial.Our our goal is the study of the periodic solutions of the discontinuous piecewise linear systems in $\R^3$, since there are very few results in that direction. But in a first approach to this problem we shall restrict our attention to the reversible linear systems. More precisely, the objective of our project is to start in a systematic way the study of the periodic solutions of the reversible discontinuous piecewise linear systems having two zones of linearity.
