TCAN4550: TCAN4550 could use GSPI for this CAN bus controller?

Part Number: TCAN4550

Hi sir, 

For TCAN4550, could we use GSPI for this CAN bus controller?

 If yes, what effort do our FW to do? Could you provide us the support?

BTW, This interface can support ACPI format? OS can read CAN data directly?

Thanks a lot!

  • Sean,

    The TCAN4550 is limited to the SPI interface as defined in the datasheet for the physical communication with the device.  Advanced features may be developed to simplify the application code running in the MCU, but we do not offer firmware support.  We do however have some example starter code that can be downloaded and used as a reference.

    There is also a Linux Driver that has been upstreamed into the Kernel if you are using Linux.
