This processor is being used in a large number of CAN slaves.
The setup is this:
[list] [*]LPC1768 on custom pcb with 12MHz crystal, configured to run at 417.6MHz. [*]CAN peripheral configured to run at 500kbps bit rate [*]CMSIS driver library (latest version) [*]CodeSourcery IDE - latest version [/list]
With the debug code the system never fails With the release code the system sometimes fails with the slave having the wrong bit rate and therefore entering "ERROR PASSIVE"
Further examination shows the bit rate register is set to the "reset" condition as if the code in can_setBaudRate had not run.
Looking at the disassembled compiled code, in the debug version there are several instructions between setting the CANxMOD register to RM, and writing the BTR register value.
In the release version, the RM mode setting and BTR write are consecutive instructions.
We changed the code so that even in the release version there are several instructions between setting the RM mode and writing the BTR and now the system seems to wor with both debug and release versions.
So it would seem that it may take "some time" for the RM bit to take effect!
Can anyone at NXP confirm if this is the case? Has anyone else seen this problem?
