I use the xenomai realtime driver for flexcan but function flexcan_chip_start never worked successfull because the
softreset never finished.
/* enable module */
flexcan_chip_enable(priv);
reg_mcr = flexcan_read(®s->mcr); -> Logmessage: rtcan0: regs->mcr d0c00000 reg_mcr 0x7980000f
/* soft reset */
flexcan_write(FLEXCAN_MCR_SOFTRST, ®s->mcr);
udelay(10);
reg_mcr = flexcan_read(®s->mcr);
if (reg_mcr & FLEXCAN_MCR_SOFTRST) {
rtcandev_err(dev,
"Failed to softreset can module (mcr=0x%08x)\n",
reg_mcr); -> Logmessage: rtcan0: Failed to softreset can module (mcr=0x5b80000f)
err = -ENODEV;
goto out;
}
It looks like the reset was performed because all values are on init state except the softreset bit stays 1.
On Page 1430 of Reference Manual Rev. 1, 04/2013 I found the following text
"When this bit is asserted, FlexCAN resets its internal state machines and some of the memory mapped
registers. The following registers are reset: MCR (except the MDIS bit)
...
The SOFT_RST bit remains asserted while reset is pending, and is
automatically negated when reset completes.
.....
Soft reset cannot be applied while clocks are shut down in any of the low power modes. The module
should be first removed from low power mode, and then soft reset can be applied."
So the bit should switch to 0 when the reset finished, but not if no clock is assigned.
Is there a way to check if a clock is assigned and running and I am not in any powerdown mode.
Thank you
Wolfgang
