Hi, in manual there is written following about CANTCL1 register bits (ch. 8.8.2 of 5680x User's manual): "These bits are read/write at any time when SFTRES = 1, except CANE. It is write once in normal modes and any time in special modes when SFTRES = 1." But even thou I set SFTRES I can't clear (or set) it after first write to CANE even thou I set SFTRES = 1. So is it in reality so that CANE is writable only once?

Ok! That is what I thought, but what I couldn't understand from the manual clearly. So why are those 'special modes mentioned at all? If they are not supposed to be used? Ok I know that many-times this occurs in manuals. Thanks for all responses!

It may be written at any time in special modes when SFTRES=1.
