How to Enabling FlexCAN in devicetree on iMX6 (Solidrun Hummingboard)

johnwalkr — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:27:44 GMT

I'm trying to enable flexCAN bus 1 on the 26 pin GPIO header on the HomeRun Hummingboard. The iMX6 version is Core Solo, part number MCIMX6S5DVM10AB. I've confirmed that this chip has 2 flexCAN buses, and I've confirmed that they can be accessed on pin 16 and 18 of the GPIO header. The pins are SD3_CMD (can be muxed to CAN TX) and SD3_CLK (can be muxed to CAN RX).

I have 2 CAN transceivers I can use. Both are working on other devices (an SH2 microcontroller, beaglebone black and raspberry pi) so I cam confident that they are set up correctly. The transceivers are TI SN65HVD1050 and Microchip MCP2551.

I'm using Yocto with kernel 3.14.14.

I changed 2 device tree dtsi files to enable CAN, according to this post and others:

https://community.freescale.com/thread/318776

After recompiling, I can send and recieve messages to and from the raspberry pi and beaglebone black, but on the same CAN netwwork, I can't send or recieve to/from the iMX6. I get an error in dmesg, leading me to believe that I have not set up device tree correctly:

dmesg | grep -i "can"
[    1.432240] vcan: Virtual CAN interface driver

[    2.663294] can: netlink gateway (rev 20130117) max_hops=1
[    2.775105] md: Scanned 0 and added 0 devices.

I'm not really sure what my next step in troubleshooting is, aside from hoping someone else has overcome a similar problem and can offer advice.

kernel 3.14.14 is not freescale BSP release version.

Please use freescale official BSP release.

Hi,

I have that issue too!

Do you solve it now?Could you tell me?

Thank you very much!
