4.2.3. Functional Overview

The CAN module initializes and controls the internal CAN Controllers of the microcontroller. It provides services to write, read, and configure mailboxes of the Can controllers

4.2.3.1. Initialization

Can_Init () must be called to initialize the CAN driver at power on and sets controller independent init values. This will also set the controllers to CAN_CS_STOPPED.

4.2.3.2. States

There are 4 states in which the CAN hardware/driver can be:

  • CAN_CS_UNINT: This is the state when the Hardware is just started.

  • CAN_CS_STOPPED: This is the state in which Hardware is in when after the initialization routine is called. CAN controller be fully initialized but does not participate in the bus transactions.

  • CAN_CS_STARTED: This is the state in which hardware is in when it is fully operational i.e.., it is sending and receive messages from the bus on CAN network.

  • CAN_CS_SLEEP: This is the state in which the hardware is in when the controller is sleeping. Changing the mode via Can_SetControllerMode ().

Following modes changes are supported:

  1. CAN_CS_STARTED

  2. CAN_CS_STOPPED

  3. CAN_CS_SLEEP

The figure below taken from the AUTOSAR specification shows the state transitions for different function calls and events:

CAN channel states and state transitions

Fig. 4.20 CAN channel states and state transitions

4.2.3.3. CAN operating modes

The CAN module has a very simple state machine, with the two states CAN_UNINIT and CAN_READY. After power-up/reset, the CAN module shall be in the state CAN_UNINIT.

4.2.7.1. Interrupt Handling

The Driver doesn’t register any interrupts handler (ISR), it’s expected that consumer of this driver registers the required interrupt handler.

AUTOSAR_SWS_CANDriver section: 10 Configuration specification, details the expected behavior and control flow for ISR implementation, please refer the same.

For every CAN Instance, an ISR requires to be registered. The Interrupt number associated with instance of the CAN is detailed in TRM (also, please refer the Example application). Interrupt type should be selected in CAN plugin.

Two interrupt routines are provided by the CAN driver. The ISR’s are in the file Can_Irq.c User might edit it for adapting for the suitable OS. The current support is for the NON-OS Interrupts structure. CAN interrupts are hooked up on the Interrupt 0 line (IE0).

Following are the CAN controllers, its respective ISRs for each CAN Controller in AM263Px:

4.2.8. Integration description

4.2.8.1. Dependent modules

4.2.8.1.1. MCU

The CAN Modules expects the MCU modules to enable the MCAN controller. The Clock configuration should be configured in CAN module to select the correct clock source in the parameter “ CanCpuClockRef “.

Clock Reference in MCU module

Fig. 4.23 Clock Reference in MCU module

4.2.8.1.2. Port

The CAN Modules expects that pinmux is set correctly to configure the MCAN TX/RX pins for CAN mode. This is done by the PORT driver.

4.2.8.1.3. OS

An operating system can be used for task scheduling, interrupt handling, global suspend and restore of interrupts and creating of the Interrupt Vector Table. The CAN module may use AUTOSAR OS to suspend and restore global interrupts.

4.2.8.1.4. DET

The CAN module depends on the DET (by default) to report development errors.The DET can be replaced optionally by an equivalent component which is responsible to recognize development errors, if no DET component is available.

4.2.8.1.5. DEM

By default, production code related errors are reported to the DEM using the service DEM_ReportErrorStatus().

Note: Dem Event is enable only if $(Module_Name)DemEventParameterRefs is enabled.

4.2.8.1.6. Callback Notification

At its configurable interfaces the CAN defines notifications that can be mapped to callback functions provided by other modules. The mapping is not statically defined by the CAN but can be performed at configuration time. The function prototypes that can be used for the configuration have to match the appropriate function prototype signatures, which are described in the following.

Can_ErrorNotification: This is of type Can_ErrNotifyType which is defined in Can.h file. This is called to report back the ECC error status to the application when ECC error interrupt happens.

4.2.8.2. Multi-core and Resource allocator

Not Supported

4.2.9. Configuration

The Can Driver implementation supports multiple configuration variants The driver expects generated Can_Cfg.h to be present as input file. The associated Can driver configuration generated source files are Can_Cfg.c and Can_PBcfg.c if Post-Build config variant is selected, only Can_Cfg.c if Pre-Compile variant is selected

The generated configuration files should not be modified manually. The config tool Elektrobit Tresos should be used to modify the configuration files.

The CAN is configured through GUI in Post-Build and Pre-Compile Variants.

  13. Before powering on the system, double-check all connections to ensure they are correctly made, and there are no loose or improperly connected cables.

  14. After making the connections and configuring the PCAN device, power on both the board and the PCAN device.

  15. Once the system is powered on, verify that the CAN communication is established between the board and the PCAN device.

4.2.10.3. Steps to build and run example

  1. CAN example application demonstrating the MCAL CAN driver features is in folder <MCAL_ROOT>/examples/Can.

  2. This application can be built from the build folder by giving “gmake –s can_app PLATFORM=am263px.”

  3. Once the build is completed we get a binary file, which is loaded in our controller and executed.

4.2.10.4. Flow of the example application

  1. By default, the CAN example runs in Loop Back mode.

  2. For AM263Px:

    • All 5 CAN Controllers transmit the data and then receive it through the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).

    • After receiving the data, it is compared with the transmitted data.

  3. If the received data mismatches the transmitted data, then the application fails.

  4. External Loop back mode can be enabled by setting “CAN_LOOPBACK_ENABLE” in Can_Cfg.h to STD_OFF.

  5. In External Loop Back mode, CAN communication can be tested using the PCAN debugger.

  6. For AM263Px board:

    • MCAN4 pins are popped out, and MCAN4 is configured with a 1Mbps nominal bit-rate and 5 Mbps data bit-rate.

  7. While running the example code in External Loop back mode:

    • First, it asks to select the CAN instance, where “f” corresponds to MCAN4.

    • Then it asks to select the interrupt or polling method.

    • If interrupts are enabled for the instance in Can_PBcfg.c, then select the interrupt (“i”) method; otherwise, choose the Polling (“p”) method.

    • After selecting the method, options for transmission and reception will appear.

    • If the user chooses the transmit option, they are further prompted to select between standard and extended frames.

    • Selecting the standard option transmits a Standard CAN frame, while choosing the extended option transmits an extended frame to PCAN.

  8. In receive mode, the controller is ready to receive CAN frames from PCAN.

4.2.10.5. Configuration used to test this example

  1. 5 Instances of CAN are configured.

  2. All CAN controllers are configured with 1Mbps Arbitration bit rate and 5 Mbps of Data bit rate.

  3. In total 20 Hardware Objects are configured, For each CAN controller 2 HTH and 2 HRH.

  4. In Default example for Reception 0xC1 ID filter is configured for Polling Mode and 0xC0 ID filter is configured for Interrupt mode.

  5. Please refer configuration parameters in below images for baudrate update
