i.MX6 FlexCAN linux 3.0.35-4.1.0 yocto

Hi all,

I have a custom i.MX6 board and I want to use the CAN port.

I have a TJA1042 transceiver in normal mode (Standby wired to LOW not a GPIO control) [TJA1042 has 8 pins : CANH CANL TX(goes on TX i.mx6) RX(goes on RX i.mx6) VCC GND STB SPLIT/VIO]

I built an image with the can utils. I tested the can-bus with a can receiver and a can sender. My sender and receiver are tested, the receiver display what the sender "says".

When I activate the canbus on my board I got that :

root@imx6qsabresd:~# dmesg | grep CAN

vcan: Virtual CAN interface driver

CAN device driver interface

root@imx6qsabresd:~# dmesg | grep can

vcan: Virtual CAN interface driver

flexcan netdevice driver

flexcan imx6q-flexcan.1: device registered (reg_base=c09b8000, irq=143)

can: controller area network core (rev 20090105 abi 8)

can: raw protocol (rev 20090105)

can: broadcast manager protocol (rev 20090105 t)

//First method

root@imx6qsabresd:~# canconfig can0 bitrate 500000

can0 bitrate: 500000, sample-point: 0.866

root@imx6qsabresd:~# ifconfig can0 up

flexcan imx6q-flexcan.1: writing ctrl=0x03292005

//Second method

root@imx6qsabresd:~# ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000

flexcan imx6q-flexcan.1: writing ctrl=0x03292005

root@imx6qsabresd:~# ifconfig can0 up

root@imx6qsabresd:~# ifconfig

can0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:16 Metric:1

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:10

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Interrupt:143

When I try to send a can message I got this

root@imx6qsabresd:~# cansend can0 500#1E.10.10
interface = can0, family = 29, type = 3, proto = 1

But nothing happen on the bus (receiver doesn't have any message and there is no activity on the oscilloscope on CANL/CANH or on TX line to transceiver)

When I repeat cansend about 12 times I finally got an error

root@imx6qsabresd:~# cansend can0 500#1E.10.10
interface = can0, family = 29, type = 3, proto = 1
write: No buffer space available

When I try to read a can message I got no activity whereas I see signal with oscilloscope on CANL CANH and RX line

root@imx6qsabresd:~# candump can0
interface = can0, family = 29, type = 3, proto = 1

I modifiy the kernel3.0.35-4.1.0/arch/arm/mach-mx6/board_myboard.c modifcations are inspired from sabrelite and sabreauto boards

static iomux_v3_cfg_t mx6q_etsjq7_pads[] = {
// ...
/* CAN1 */
MX6Q_PAD_GPIO_7__CAN1_TXCAN,
MX6Q_PAD_GPIO_8__CAN1_RXCAN,
//...
};

static void mx6q_etsjq7_flexcan1_switch(int enable)
{
}

static const struct flexcan_platform_data
    mx6q_etsjq7_flexcan1_pdata __initconst = {
    .transceiver_switch = mx6q_etsjq7_flexcan1_switch,
    
};

 imx6q_add_flexcan1(&mx6q_etsjq7_flexcan1_pdata);

Hi,

Have you checked this? I believe it can be very useful to realize the needed changes.

Hi,

Problem solved.

To build my kernel I followed this DOC

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94887

but I made a mistake because I have to init flexcan0 and not flexcan1.
