K40 CAN Bus: Help Setting Bit Rate

sweng — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 23:30:11 GMT

Hi -

I'm using CW10.2 w/ProcExp to set-up CAN Bus communications between two processors.

I seem to be having trouble setting up the timing. For example, the 'Bit rate' parameter under 'Timing' only allows two values - 5851.429 bit/s and 1497.9657143 kbit/s. I wish to set the rate to 1Mbit/s. When I try to set it to a value between the two 'ranges', Processer Expert produces the error "Timing setting failed - it is impossible to set the following items: initialization value".

Any ideas?

I don't know about PE but you can set up the optimal CAN clock in code by using the following formula:

ptrCAN_control->CAN_CTRL1 = fnOptimalCAN_clock(pars->usMode, pars->ulSpeed);

Taken from uTasker Kinetis project:

// The best choice of clock input is from the external crystal (lowest jitter), however this may not always enable the best settings to achieve the required speed.// The choice of clock source is user-defined but this routine tries to achieve best settings using highest time quanta resolution. //// There are up to 25 time quanta in a CAN bit time and the bit frequency is equal to the clock frequency divided by the quanta number (8..25 time quanta range)// There is always a single time quanta at the start of a bit period called the SYNC_SEG which can not be changed (transitions are expected to occur on the bus during this period)// The sampling occurs after time segment 1, which is made up of a propagation segment (1..8 time quanta) plus a phase buffer segment 1 (1..8 time quanta),// followed by time segment 2, made up of phase buffer segment 2 (2..8 time quanta)//// CAN standard compliant bit segment settings give the following ranges (re-synchronisation jump width of 2 is used since it is complient with all))// Time segment 1 should be 5..10 when time segment 2 is 2 (min/max time quanta per bit is 8/13)// Time segment 1 should be 4..11 when time segment 2 is 3 (min/max time quanta per bit is 8/15)// Time segment 1 should be 5..12 when time segment 2 is 4 (min/max time quanta per bit is 10/17)// Time segment 1 should be 6..13 when time segment 2 is 5 (min/max time quanta per bit is 12/19)// Time segment 1 should be 7..14 when time segment 2 is 6 (min/max time quanta per bit is 14/21)// Time segment 1 should be 8..15 when time segment 2 is 7 (min/max time quanta per bit is 16/23)// Time segment 1 should be 9..16 when time segment 2 is 8 (min/max time quanta per bit is 18/25)//static unsigned long fnOptimalCAN_clock(unsigned short usMode, unsigned long ulSpeed){    unsigned long ulClockSourceFlag = EXTAL_CLK_SOURCE;
