IWR1642BOOST: CAN transmit not working

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hello,


I am attempting to add sending data over CAN to a program for the IWR1642BOOST.

I have added and removed resistors are instructed in the user guide.

My code to implement the CAN is largely lifted from the various example programs so DCANAppCalcBitTimeParams() is just taken from the can driver unit test program.

void Can_Initialize(void)
{
    CAN_MsgObjHandle rxMsgObjHandle;
    int32_t retVal = 0;
    int32_t errCode = 0;
    CAN_DCANMsgObjectStats msgObjStats;
    CAN_OptionTLV optionTLV;
    CAN_DCANErrorCounter errCounter;

    /* Setup the PINMUX to bring out the XWR16xx CAN pins */
    Pinmux_Set_OverrideCtrl(SOC_XWR16XX_PINC13_PADAG,
                            PINMUX_OUTEN_RETAIN_HW_CTRL,
                            PINMUX_INPEN_RETAIN_HW_CTRL);
    Pinmux_Set_FuncSel(SOC_XWR16XX_PINC13_PADAG,
                       SOC_XWR16XX_PINC13_PADAG_CAN_TX);

    Pinmux_Set_OverrideCtrl(SOC_XWR16XX_PINE13_PADAF,
                            PINMUX_OUTEN_RETAIN_HW_CTRL,
                            PINMUX_INPEN_RETAIN_HW_CTRL);
    Pinmux_Set_FuncSel(SOC_XWR16XX_PINE13_PADAF,
                       SOC_XWR16XX_PINE13_PADAF_CAN_RX);

    /* Configure the divide value for DCAN source clock */
    SOC_setPeripheralClock(gMmwMssMCB.socHandle, SOC_MODULE_DCAN,
                           SOC_CLKSOURCE_VCLK, 9U, &errCode);

    /* Initialize peripheral memory */
    SOC_initPeripheralRam(gMmwMssMCB.socHandle, SOC_MODULE_DCAN, &errCode);

    /* Initialize the DCAN parameters that need to be specified by the application */
    DCANAppInitParams(&appDcanCfgParams, &appDcanTxCfgParams, &appDcanRxCfgParams);
    gMmwMssMCB.canHandle = CAN_init(&appDcanCfgParams, &errCode);
    if (gMmwMssMCB.canHandle == NULL)
    {
        System_printf(
                "Error: CAN Module Initialization failed [Error code %d]\n",
                errCode);
        //return -1;
    }

    retVal = DCANAppCalcBitTimeParams(20000000U / 1000000,
                                      1000000U / 1000,
                                      1000000U,
                                      700U,
                                                &appDcanBitTimeParams);

    /* Configure the CAN driver */
    retVal = CAN_configBitTime(gMmwMssMCB.canHandle, &appDcanBitTimeParams, &errCode);
    if (retVal < 0)
    {
        System_printf(
                "Error: CAN Module configure bit time failed [Error code %d]\n",
                errCode);
        //return -1;
    }
    /* Setup the transmit message object */
    gMmwMssMCB.txMsgObjHandle = CAN_createMsgObject(gMmwMssMCB.canHandle, 1,
                                         &appDcanTxCfgParams, &errCode);
    if (gMmwMssMCB.txMsgObjHandle == NULL)
    {
        System_printf(
                "Error: CAN create Tx message object failed [Error code %d]\n",
                errCode);
        //return -1;
    }

    /* Setup the receive message object */
    rxMsgObjHandle = CAN_createMsgObject(gMmwMssMCB.canHandle, 2,
                                         &appDcanRxCfgParams, &errCode);
    if (rxMsgObjHandle == NULL)
    {
        System_printf(
                "Error: CAN create Rx message object failed [Error code %d]\n",
                errCode);
        //return -1;
    }
}

and it is using these parameters

static void DCANAppInitParams(CAN_DCANCfgParams* dcanCfgParams,
                              CAN_DCANMsgObjCfgParams* dcanTxCfgParams,
                              CAN_DCANMsgObjCfgParams* dcanRxCfgParams)
{
    /*Intialize DCAN Config Params*/
    dcanCfgParams->parityEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->intrLine0Enable = 1;
    dcanCfgParams->intrLine1Enable = 1;
    dcanCfgParams->testModeEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->eccModeEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->stsChangeIntrEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->autoRetransmitDisable = 1;
    dcanCfgParams->autoBusOnEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->errIntrEnable = 1;
    dcanCfgParams->autoBusOnTimerVal = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->if1DmaEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->if2DmaEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->if3DmaEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->ramAccessEnable = 0;
    dcanCfgParams->appCallBack = DCANAppErrStatusCallback;
    /*Intialize DCAN tx Config Params*/
    dcanTxCfgParams->xIdFlagMask = 0x1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->dirMask = 0x1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->msgIdentifierMask = 0x1FFFFFFF;
    dcanTxCfgParams->msgValid = 1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->xIdFlag = CAN_DCANXidType_11_BIT;
    dcanTxCfgParams->direction = CAN_Direction_TX;
    dcanTxCfgParams->msgIdentifier = 0xC1; //this is what needs to be determined
    dcanTxCfgParams->uMaskUsed = 1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->intEnable = 1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->remoteEnable = 0;
    dcanTxCfgParams->fifoEOBFlag = 1;
    dcanTxCfgParams->appCallBack = DCANAppCallback;
    /*Intialize DCAN Rx Config Params*/
    dcanRxCfgParams->xIdFlagMask = 0x1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->msgIdentifierMask = 0x1FFFFFFF;
    dcanRxCfgParams->dirMask = 0x1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->msgValid = 1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->xIdFlag = CAN_DCANXidType_11_BIT;
    dcanRxCfgParams->direction = CAN_Direction_RX;
    dcanRxCfgParams->msgIdentifier = 0xC1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->uMaskUsed = 1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->intEnable = 1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->remoteEnable = 0;
    dcanRxCfgParams->fifoEOBFlag = 1;
    dcanRxCfgParams->appCallBack = DCANAppCallback;

}

and the transmit is called in the mailbox task after transmiting data over UART, like so, where gMmwMssMCB.foldbackOverCan is of type CAN_DCANData

                    //transmit over can
                    retVal = CAN_transmitData(( CAN_MsgObjHandle*)gMmwMssMCB.txMsgObjHandle, &gMmwMssMCB.foldbackOverCan, &errCode);



                    if (retVal < 0)
                    {
                        /* Error: Unable to send the message. Setup the error code and return values */
                        System_printf(
                                "Error: failed to transmit foldback over CAN [Error code %d]\n",
                                errCode);
                    }

The program does not give any errors but if I probe the can_l and can_h ports they both just give A 2.5v level when my program is running.

What might be causing the CAN transmit to not work? Any suggestions on how to debug this?

Thanks,

Tim 

  • Hi Tim,

    Did you try running the same test with the unit test provided with the CAN driver? I would recommend you to first get the TX test working with the unit test to have a working baseline and test setup and then run your own code.

    Regards
    -Nitin
  • Hi Nitin,

    I have now run the CAN driver unit test thanks to your help on my other post. 

    I have run the tests with a 120 ohm resistance between the can_l and can_h ports, probing both ports and also have probed the pin 1 of the CAN transceiver U3 but am not seeing any reading on the scope. 

    Running the DCAN Internal loopback test I get this on the console but only see flat voltage level on the scope.

  • Hi Tim,

    Going through the description in your previous post, it is not clear if you've followed the required ECOs as mentioned in Appendix A.4 of the following app note:

    CAN Node on AWR1642

    Could you please confirm if you've mounted 0 ohm resistor on R11 and R12 and removed R6 and R4 as required?

    Regards

    -Nitin

     

  • Hi Nitin,

    I am using the IWR1642BOOST EVM so I followed the instructions in section 2.3.3 of that user guide http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru521b/swru521b.pdf and mounted 0 ohms on R11 and R12 and removed R4, R6, R28 and R63.

    Additionally, I have now tried runng the CANFD driver unit test and found that works and shows the expected output on the scope so I have tried changeing my program to use CANFD rather than CAN. This still is not working but it does give an error message. It is failing to transmit with error code -3502, which  I think is EINUSE meaning the last message is still being sent? I am only calling  CANFD_transmitData() once per frame so there should be long enough between sending the messages?

    Thanks,

    Tim

     

  • Hi Tim,

    You'll need an MMWAVE-DEVPACK to validate the DCAN interface since on both AWR1642BOOST and IWR1642BOOST EVMs, the DCAN lines are routed to the MMWAVE-DEVPACK. Only CAN-FD is exposed on the xWR1642BOOST which is what you got working. You'll also need to perform the ECOs mentioned in CAN Node on AWR1642 for DCAN.

    Please mark this thread resolved if your question is answered otherwise get back if more support if needed.

    Thanks

  • /* Wait for the transmit complete interrupt */
    while (gTxDoneFlag == 0);
    gTxDoneFlag = 0;

    Hi Nitin,

    I am actually still having trouble with using CAN-FD. When I run the EVM test on the CAN-FD driver unit test I do not get any results on the console and I don't see anything on the scope. When I step through the program I find that it is stuck in this while loop on line 1288:

    /* Wait for the transmit complete interrupt */
    while (gTxDoneFlag == 0);
    gTxDoneFlag = 0;

    In my program I also have the same while loop to wait for the transmit complete interrupt after the canfd transmit call and it will also get stuck in it. If I remove the loop in my program the first CANFD_transmitData() will run without returning an error but without any data being seen to be transmitted on the scope and subsequent calls will give error code -3502.

    These are the results for the other CAN-FD driver tests if they might help diagnose the problem. The external transmit test also seems to give non ideal results.

  • Hi Tim,

    We are looking into this issue and will get back to you within this week. Thanks for your patience.

  • Hi Tim,

    Thanks for your patience. It appears that there has been some confusion over what interfaces are available on the IWR1642 and how to test them.
    1. The IWR1642 device supports CAN only so you cannot use CAN-FD on IWR1642BOOST.
    2. The automotive variant i.e. AWR1642 supports both CAN and CAN-FD.

    This confusion seems to have been created in part by the IWR1642BOOST user guide which mentions CAN-FD in Figure-1. We will update the user guide to fix this.

    Can you please confirm if you are still having issue getting the DCAN test to work?

    Thanks
    -Nitin
  • Hi Nitin,

    So the DCAN lines will be routed through the CAN connector J3 on the IWR1642BOOST EVM and the MMWAVE-DEVPACK is not necessary?

    Yes, I am still having issues running the DCAN driver test. I get these results for each of the tests:

  • Hi Tim,

    You still need the MMWAVE-DEVPACK to test the CAN interface on IWR1642BOOST as the CAN lines are routed to that. CAN-FD is not enabled on the IWR1642 device so you cannot use that on the IWR1642BOOST and this is something that we need to mark in the IWR1642 EVM user guide. Did you try running the CAN test with the MMWAVE-DEVPACK?

    Regards
    -Nitin
  • Hi Tim,

    We have not heard back from you on this thread. Could you please reply whether you still need support on this topic?

    Thanks
    -Nitin
  • Hi Nitin,

    I have probed and seen the CAN Tx/Rx signals on the J5/J6 connectors.
    Unfortunately there has been a separate issue with the EVM causing it to be necessary to get a new one.

    Once I have got this new EVM I plan on using wires to connect pin 13 of connector J6 to pin 12 on connector J5 and to connect pin 6 on connector J5 to pin 14 on connector J5. I think that, along with adding / removing the appropriate 0 ohm resistors, this will route the CAN tx/ Rx signals to the CAN transceiver on the EVM.

    Should this work?

    Thanks,

    Tim
  • Hi Tim,

    I would suggest getting an MMWAVE-DEVPACK to run the test. I'll close this thread for now but please feel free to create a new thread if you face issues with the new EVM (you can refer to this thread when creating the new one).

    Regards

    -Nitin
