Hi Folks,

Just got my hands on a second 8323 demo board to see if see if I can sort out
a CAN transceiver issue and after having programmed it a couple of times,
it's not just giving me a flash programming error.

It says:

CCS Protocol Plugin : Error occurred while programming flash.

Does this mean I just have to throw the board away, or is there maybe a flash
erase function I could try?

Cheers,

Rob

Hi folks,

Has anyone managed to successfully get the CAN module running? I have the
56F8300DEMO board and have initialised it as bellow. I have the bus clock
running at 60MHz and I think I've set the CAN bus speed to be 1M.

It is quite possible that I have set up the registers properly, but the TI 3V3
CAN transceiver that's driving the bus is at fault. The signals coming out of
the chip are *not* the same level. Has anyone tried getting the CAN going on
the demo board? It's trying to communicate with the 56F807 demo board whose
CAN transceiver chip runs at 5V. According the datasheet of the device on the
56F8323 demo board, even though it's a 3.3V chip, it should still work
happily with 5V devices.

Cheers,

Rob

while ((FCMCR & 0x100) == 0); // Then wait for the FREEZ_ACK bit to go high

FCCTL1 = 0x3A4; // (Hopefully) the right values for 1MHz

Hi Rob

FWIW, I just happened to need to do the same thing for the "ITCN" Interrupt
controller, which in their infinite wisdom they have named "INTC" to make it
easier to find.

Also, documentation for this is now only in the TechDataSheet, not the
FamilyManual or PeriphUserMan. This is for the 568357, your mileage my
vary.

IO_Map.h:

/******************************************
*** Peripheral INTC
*******************************************/
typedef struct TypeITCN_Prph {
<snip>
} INTC_PRPH; volatile struct TypeITCN_Prph *pMyITCN_Regs;
pMyITCN_Regs = &(ArchIO.INTC);

Subject: RE: [motoroladsp] 56F8323 Header file Hi Rob

For the 568357, I found some stuff in IO_Map.h, where ArchIO is defined.
Maybe the 56F8323 uses the same filename.

You can't find it by right-clicking on ArchIO (or I couldn't), but Find In
Files spots it. FC_PRPH is the FlexCAN part.

<IO_Map.h snip>
FC_PRPH FC;
} ArchIO;

I use it by going into IO_Map.h and creating a type "TypeFcPrph" from their
FC_PRPH defintion (part of ArchIO), by inserting the word "TypeFcPrph":
/******************************************
*** Peripheral FC
*******************************************/
typedef struct TypeFcPrph {
word Reserved0[995]; /* Reserved
(unused) registers */

/*** FCMCR - FlexCAN Module Configuration Register; 0x0000F800 ***/
<etc etc etc>
<snip>
} FC_PRPH; Then I can create my own pointer (pMyFcRegs ) to the whole FlexCan register
structure with all the IO_Map.h-defined field names:

volatile struct TypeFcPrph *pMyFcRegs;
pMyFcRegs = &(ArchIO.FC);

I drag that into my Expressions window for convenience.

Subject: [motoroladsp] 56F8323 Header file Hi Folks,

Does anyone know where on earth Metrowerks have secreted the CAN
peripheral header files for the 56F832x devices? I can find a header
that has things like GPIO etc, but there seems to be nothing for
things like the CAN module.

Cheers,

Rob
