Name
Atmel SAM — CAN Driver
Description
This driver supports the CAN devices available in some variants of Atmel's SAM4, SAM7, SAM9 and SAMA5 microprocessor families.
Filter
The filter mechanism present in the SAM4/7/9 and SAMA5 CAN devices is not compatible with the filter model adopted by the CAN subsystem. Consequently the hardware filter is not used and only software filtering is applied.
Baud Rates
The following baud rates are supported: 1Mb/s, 800kb/s, 500kb/s, 250kb/s, 125kb/s, 100kb/s, 50kb/s, 20kb/s and 10kb/s. However, the accuracy of baud rates that can be supported at any particular MCLK frequency depend on the resolution of the baud rate divisor.
Configuration
For each channel X supported the CDL script provides the following configuration options:
- cdl_interface CYGINT_DEVS_CAN_CHANNELX
- This determines whether the given channel is available on the board. It is usually implemented by the platform HAL.
- cdl_component CYGPKG_DEVS_CAN_CHANNELX
- This defines whether the channel is active. It will default to active for all channels whose corresponding interface is implemented, but may be disabled by the user.
- cdl_option CYGPKG_DEVS_CAN_CHANNELX_NAME
- This defines the name of the channel.
- cdl_option CYGPKG_DEVS_CAN_CHANNELX_MBOX_COUNT
- This defines the number of mailboxes supported by the device. This is usually eight or sixteen. The HAL for the microprocessor variant will usually set this value during configuration.
- cdl_option CYGPKG_DEVS_CAN_CHANNELX_EXT
- If set this option configures this channel to receive extended, 29 bit, identifiers as well as standard, 11 bit, identifiers. Otherwise it receives only 11 bit identifiers. The default is to receive both message types.
At present there is support for up to two channels.
