TMS320F28035: eCAN responding to a remote request without auto answer

Part Number: TMS320F28035

Is it possible to respond to a remote request without using the auto answer feature? I haven't found any example or description of this, so before I experiment, perhaps someone can tell me if its possible.  I want to use one mailbox (and one id).  The process would be something like

1. CAN remote request frame is received, which generates an interrupt

2 interrupt handler generates new data

3. data is written to the mailbox and transmitted

  • Carl,

        The sequence you describe is applicable for  "normal" data frames. The reason you would want to use remote frames is to be able to automatically respond to them. Perhaps I am missing something here, but it looks like you do not need remote-frames in your application. Are you asking if a remote-frame is received by a mailbox (with a matching ID, but not with auto-answer enabled), if it would be received and an interrupt generated? If so, why would you want to use remote-frames in the first place? Why not a data frame?
