How to use eCAN capability on TMS320F28335

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28335

We have an exisitng control unit which was developed with Arinc 429 but which we now want to use for a CAN bus application. We want to use the eCAN capability of the processor. What is the best place to start to determine how to modify the existing C-language software to do this?

Miles,

TI provides C2833x/C2823x C/C++ Header Files and Peripheral Examples which contains the eCAN examples. This would be a great way to start.

Manoj

Sorry for some reason I assumed you are using F28335 device. Can you please tell me the device you are using?

Hi -

The microcontroller we are using is TMS320F28335. I was able to download the document you suggested but was not sure how much added software we will need to develop to start using CAN bus - previously we had been using just Arinc 429.

Miles,

If you had installed the peripheral header examples you don't need any additional software to use the examples provided. The example provided will certainly jump start the understanding the eCAN module.Feel free to modify the example provided to suit your custom application.

Manoj
