iMX28 FlexCAN issue

santhoshkarthik — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:25:57 GMT

Hi,

FlexCAN driver is not working when we build it along with kernel but it works when we build as a module. What would be the problem?

I could not find "bitrate" in /sys/devices/platform/FlexCAN.0/ when i build along with kernel but I could see "bitrate" when i build the driver as a module. Please help me on this.

Hi igorpadykov,

I put the patch in /opt/freescale/pkgs and I added following line in config/platform/imx/kernel-2.6.35.spec.in spec file

Patch1 : kernel-2.6.35-flexcan.patch

%patch -p1

while doing prep(./ltib -m prep -p kernel), it works but when I am building using ./ltib, It was showing following things,

The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

Hi,

CAN 0 node is not appeared(in ifconfig -a) when we built along with kernel and I could not do following commands

$echo 125000 > /sys/devices/platform/FlexCAN.0/bitrate

$ip link set can0 up

I appiled following patch as well still it didnot work

linux-2.6.35.3-imx28/flexCAN-fixes.patch at master · embeddedarm/linux-2.6.35.3-imx28 · GitHub

But if we build FlexCAN as a module, It works

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Karthik
