CAN baurate error

[Andrew101]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with baurate in classic CAN in S32K3. I reuse an example code "lwip_baremetal_s32k344" and add FlexCAN. Although I configed in clock diagram tab, FlexCAN tab and the S32DS also return the approriate value is 1 MHz (see the pictures below for more details), when I measured CAN_TX by logic analyzer, I see the baurate was just around 400Khz. Does anyone have the same problem with me? Thanks for your help.

Hi@Andrew101

I don't see problem with your flexcan settings, could you please share your test picture and your project so that I can take time to reproduce your issues.

Of course,
Let me tell you again my problem. As you can see, in the configuration, the baurate is 1 Mbs, but when I measure on logic analyzer , the signal is just around 400 Kbs. Here are the picture and the whole project. I used on S32K344 EVB SCH 53148 Rev B board and s32ds 3.6.3, RTD 6.0.0

Hi@Andrew101

I think your measurement method is wrong.

You can use an oscilloscope to measure the minimum pulse width to calculate the bit rate.

In your configuration:

Tq = 5 / 80mhz = 62.5ns

CAN bit time = (1 + 8+ 5 + 2) * 62.5 = 1000ns

Bit rate = 1 / 1000ns = 1000K

[Andrew101]

Can you explain more details, please? I don't really understand. The configuration in the project I gave you is for 1000K. But the logic analyzer just recorded 400K. Additionally, when I debugged deeply into register, I saw a register CTRL1 with the field "PRESDIV" is set 4 but not 0. I don't know if it is the reason?

Hi@Andrew101

The 400k you are currently displaying is not necessarily a single bit width, it may be multiple bits wide.

"when I debugged deeply into register, I saw a register CTRL1 with the field "PRESDIV" is set 4 but not 0"

In your configuration, the "Prescaler division factor is 5", so the PRESDIV should be 5-1 = 4, so it's correct.

Thanks for your answer. So back to my first question, I wonder that what's wrong with my project and config that CAN module can not reach at 1 Mbs? In the project, I reused the example code "lwip_baremetal_s32k344" and added some more peripherals. I don't know if it is the reason? Because I also tried with I2C and the problem is similar to CAN "Baurate of I2C I set is 400 Kbs but it just worked in 100 Kbs". I think I have some conflicts in the project but I can not find. If your project works well, please share with me!!!

Hi@Andrew101

1. Regarding the CAN speed, as I mentioned, the CAN module configuration is correct, at 1M. You can check the ACK bit width; theoretically, it should be 1us. If it's not, check your MCU module.
(I can't run your code properly; I don't know why you're mixing MCAL and Drivers.)

2. Regarding the LPI2C speed, your "Clock_Ip_ReferencePoints" configuration is incorrect; the clock is not the I2C module's clock.
