Hi I am trying to get the loopback_transfer example to work from the MCUXpresso SDK v2.7.0, which is the latest version now. It works with 8 byte messages so the CAN FD controller should not be faulty. I also tested it on a second dev kit which gives the same behavior.
I am failing to get 64 byte messages to work using the loopback_transfer example, I changed the CAN interface to 3 (which is the only CAN controller with CAN FD support):
#define EXAMPLE_CAN CAN3
I enable CAN FD using:
#define USE_CANFD (1)
I also changed the setting to 64 bytes per MB using:
#define BYTES_IN_MB (kFLEXCAN_64BperMB)
And specified the amount of DWords per MB which is 64/4=16
#define DWORD_IN_MB (16)
I also tried both:
mbConfig.format = kFLEXCAN_FrameFormatStandard;
...
txFrame.format = (uint8_t)kFLEXCAN_FrameFormatStandard;
txFrame.type = (uint8_t)kFLEXCAN_FrameTypeData;
txFrame.id = FLEXCAN_ID_STD(0x123);
and
mbConfig.format = kFLEXCAN_FrameFormatExtend;
...
txFrame.format = (uint8_t)kFLEXCAN_FrameFormatExtend;
txFrame.type = (uint8_t)kFLEXCAN_FrameTypeData;
txFrame.id = FLEXCAN_ID_EXT(0x123);
to switch between extended and standard format frames.
I also tried to switch on the edl bit in the tx frame manually:
txFrame.edl = 1U;
All configurations led to the same output:

As you can see the first two DWORDS (8 bytes) are correct, so it seems that either 8 byte message buffers are used somehow even though I set it to 64 bytes, or normal CAN frames are used which have a maximum 8 byte payload but that shouldn't be the case as I explicitly set the edl flag of the txFrame to 1.
Either way I don't understand what I need to change in order to make it work or what I need to do to debug further. Is it possible to provide a working example that works straight out of the box? That would be much appreciated.
I attached the whole file in case you want to compare it to the original one. This is the only source file I changed in the loopback_transfer project.
