Hi Georg

You might look at the CANbus technical specification to see what is the
fastest way to reduce the REC counter. I know that some errors will *add*
8 to the counter. If there is anything the target can do that will subtract
more than one from its error counter, you could have the target send many of
those. But REC is very read-only.

It shouldn't take many milliseconds to send 128 clean frames as part of the
startup handshake, unless your baud rate is REALLY low.

Subject: AW: [motoroladsp] MSCAN interface on 56f803 Hello Rick,
Thanks for your kind answer. Changing setup works for me and I can read REC
register in any state. I also managed to have automatic baud rate detection
by simply monitoring this counter - but I'd like to reset it after the
correct baudrate has been detected. I know that after a while it would
automatically decrease, but if the target baudrate is very low, I am too
close to the "error passive" limit at the end of the detection process. So,
is there any way completely resetting the CAN interface or just the REC
itself?

Thanks for any kind of help,

Georg,

Get into Soft Reset (8.8.1.9, 8.10.5 & 8.10.4), maybe going into Sleep mode
first. Then you can set up MSCAN in a new way.

Merely auto-detecting baud rate may not do everything you wish. If the
Sender is using a different bit timing setup than you are, perhaps the bit
timings can be different enough to interfere with communication (I don't
know, I just use the same bit timing setup on both sides. I have 56803 on
both sides.

I've noticed something that may help you. If I set up two nodes with
mis-matched baud rates (and they are the only two nodes on the network),
whichever node first tries to send a packet goes into a forever-loop
re-sending that packet over and over, until it gets a clean ACK. However,
if there are more than two nodes, any two nodes that agree on the baud rate
will terminate the re-try process.

By the way - I never had any luck reading the "REC/TEC" registers. I think
you might have to go into Soft Reset, then read them, then go back active.
I rely on the error interrupts RWRNIF, TWRNIF, RERRIF etc.

Good luck!

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone met the following problem: I'd like to have a CAN
device with automatic baudrate configuration. In the MSCAN specs there's a
special "listen only" mode which eases this, but unfortunately the MSCAN
implementation of the 56f803 doesn't have this operation mode. Because of
this I thought an implementation with some minor CAN violation would be the
solution, with listening to the bus and if errors occur, then reset CAN and
change baudrate. (in CANOpen there are a limited number of fixed baudrates)
But if I once enable CAN, I'm not able to disable it since this bit is write
once, and I didn't find any solution for totally resetting the CAN
interface, or just the error counter. Could anyone please give me a clue how
to solve the situation?
