TMS320F28388D: Is is possible to boot from MCAN or only CAN?

Part Number: TMS320F28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

Going through the boot mode select section of the TRM, only CAN is stated as a possible boot mode without mention of MCAN (CAN-FD). Does that mean booting and firmware update is only available over standard CAN with that boot mode selected, or does that also include use of MCAN?

    Hi Scott,

    The only boot modes available for the device are listed in the TRM, so I do not believe MCAN is supported here, but please allow for another day for me to triple check on this for you.

    Best Regards,

    Allison

    Thanks Allison.

    One thing I did notice is that in the flash utilities of C2000ware (C2000Ware_MotorControl_SDK_5_01_00_00\c2000ware\utilities\flash_programmers\) there are two flash programmers for a different in family chip (F28003x). One is called dcan_flash_programmer and the other just can_flash_programmer. The former has a readme file stating its for DCAN (standard CAN version D) and latter has a readme file stating that it is intended to be used with MCAN. The F28003x also does not specifically mention MCAN as a boot mode in it's TRM, so I am hopeful that the F28388D is in a similar situation where it is supported yet not mentioned, assuming I can trust those tools readme files.

    Scott,

         The 28003x TRM does mention CAN FD boot mode (CAN FD is the same as MCAN, or more precisely, the MCAN module supports the CAN FD protocol.

    28388D does not support CAN FD loader.  Easiest way to confirm this is to look into the C2000WARE folder.

    Thank you!

    I was only looking for MCAN and forgot to search for CAN-FD.
