TWR-MPC8309 TWR-INDCTRL - CAN User Manual Freescale Semiconductor Linux BSP

Description

The MPC8309 have four controller area network (FlexCAN) blocks. 

The TWR-MPC8309 + TWR-INDCTRL platform supports 4 CANs connected to the high speed CAN interfaces.

Modules Loading

The CAN controller is not enabled by default. There are two ways to enable the CAN function.

One way is to select the linux configuration file with CAN enabled as described in help/software/LTIB_BSP_TWR-MPC830x document.

Another way is to enable the CAN function manually in LTIB as documented in the next section.

In addition, it is also required to enable the CAN test package in order to run the test procedure.

./ltib -c

When the LTIB start, scroll down the Package selection and select Package list and enable “cantest” package.

---  Package selection        Package list   --->               ….               [  ]  can4linux               [*]  cantest               [  ]  ccache

Kernel Configuration

In LTIB build, select “linux-2.6.33.7-mpc8309twr-INDCTRL-CAN.config” for the kernel configuration:

./ltib -c

When the window pops up, scroll down and select “Config file”.

Under Config file, select the configuration as shown:

  [  ] Produce cscope index

        Config file (Default configuration)  --->

                     (  )  Default configuration

                     (  )  Configuration with IEEE1588v2 support

                     (x)  Configuration with TWR-INDCTRL CANs support

                     (  )  custom

Exit and save.

OR

In LTIB, enable “Configure the kernel”.

When the Linux Kernel Configuration window pops up, scroll down to Networking support and enable the CAN as followed.

Exit, save and build.

Note:

It is required to use mpc8309twr-indctrl.dtb. 

Rename mpc8309twr-indctrl.dtb to mpc8309twr.dtb.

OR in u-boot, change the dtbname as followed:

=> echo $dtbname

mpc8309twr.dtb

=> set dtbname mpc8309twr-indctrl.dtb

=> run tftpramboot

Test Procedure

TWR-INDCTRL board has 4 CANs where CAN1 is connected to CAN2 and CAN3 to CAN4 for testing.

Connect pin 6 (CAN_H1) of J600 to pin 6 (CAN_H2) of J602 and pin 2 (CAN_L1) of J600 to pin 2 (CAN_L2) of J602.

Connect pin 6 (CAN_H3) of J603 to pin 6 (CAN_H4) of J604 and pin 2 (CAN_L3) of J603 to pin 2 (CAN_L4) of J604.

In J601, put jumpers between pin 1 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 4, pin 5 to pin 6 and pin 7 to pin 8.

· Power up the platform.

· Use mpc8309twr-indctrl.dtb instead of mpc8309twr.dtb.

· After login in the kernel, bring up the CAN interfaces.

· Note that under linux, the CAN are referenced as can0, can1, can2 and can3 for CAN1, CAN2, CAN3 and CAN4 respectively.
