LAN966x MCAN

LAN966x MCAN

SoC Resources

LAN966x SoC supports two instances of CAN-FD(Control Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate) which is compliant with CAN 2.0 Part A and 2.0 Part B.

Kernel configurations

Following kernel config options should be enabled to use LAN966x MCAN:

  • CONFIG_CAN - CAN driver config option.

  • CONFIG_CAN_M_CAN - Bosch MCAN config option.

  • CONFIG_CAN_M_CAN_PLATFORM - Bosch M_CAN support for io-mapped devices.

Devicetree Configuration

To enable MCAN interface, following configurations are required in device tree:

  • compatible string must be set to bosch,m_can.

  • reg property must be set to <0xe081c000 0xfc> and <0x00100000 0x4000> for mcan0, <0xe0820000 0xfc> and <0x00100000 0x8000> for mcan1.

  • reg-names must be set to m_can and message_ram.

  • interrupts property must be set with interrupt details as <GIC_SPI 72 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH> and <GIC_SPI 73 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>.

Note

Shared peripheral interrupt lines start at index ID32. So, CPU INTR must be calculated as [Shared peripheral interrupt number - 32].

  • interrupt-names must be set to int0 and int1.

  • clocks property must be set to <&clks GCK_ID_MCANx>, <&clks GCK_ID_MCANx>, where x is MCAN ID (0-1).

  • clock-names must be set to hclk and cclk.

  • bosch,mram-cfg property must be set to <0x0 0 0 64 0 0 32 32> for mcan0 and <0x4000 0 0 64 0 0 32 32> for mcan1.

  • Verify that CAN_STBY pin of transceiver is set to low. If not, set the GPIO pin mapped to CAN_STBY to low using standby-gpios property as <&gpio 54 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>.

Example

Following example shows how a CAN controller should be defined in DT:

dtsi file:

can0: can@e081c000 {
	compatible = "bosch,m_can";
	reg = <MCAN_0_ADDR MCAN_0_SIZE>, <0x00100000 0x4000>;
	reg-names = "m_can", "message_ram";
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 72 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
		   <GIC_SPI 73 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	interrupt-names = "int0", "int1";
	clocks = <&clks GCK_ID_MCAN0>, <&clks GCK_ID_MCAN0>;
	clock-names = "hclk", "cclk";
	assigned-clocks = <&clks GCK_ID_MCAN0>;
	assigned-clock-rates = <40000000>;
	bosch,mram-cfg = <0x0 0 0 64 0 0 32 32>;
	status = "disabled";
};

dts file changes:

&can0 {
	pinctrl-0 = <&can0_b_pins>;
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	standby-gpios = <&gpio 54 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
	status = "okay";
};

UserSpace

Confirm instances are created

  • Check if can interface is created using ifconifg -a command.

Example on how to use

  • Enable can-utils to send/receive data on CAN interface. Use candump to show received message from the CAN bus and cansend to send message on CAN bus.
