TM4C129ENCPDT: Simple_tx example CANIntHandler issue

Part Number: TM4C129ENCPDT
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C129EXL

First of all, hello everyone.

I am trying to send a CAN message between two tm4c129encpdt launchpads using TI's own examples sample_can_tx and sample_can_rx.

There are the codes:

//! <h1>Simple CAN TX (simple_tx)</h1>
//!
//! This example shows the basic setup of CAN in order to transmit messages
//! on the CAN bus.  The CAN peripheral is configured to transmit messages
//! with a specific CAN ID.  A message is then transmitted once per second,
//! using a simple delay loop for timing.  The message that is sent is a 4
//! byte message that contains an incrementing pattern.  A CAN interrupt
//! handler is used to confirm message transmission and count the number of
//! messages that have been sent.
//!
//! This example uses the following peripherals and I/O signals.  You must
//! review these and change as needed for your own board:
//! - CAN0 peripheral
//! - GPIO Port B peripheral (for CAN0 pins)
//! - CAN0RX - PB4
//! - CAN0TX - PB5
//!
//! The following UART signals are configured only for displaying console
//! messages for this example.  These are not required for operation of CAN.
//! - GPIO port A peripheral (for UART0 pins)
//! - UART0RX - PA0
//! - UART0TX - PA1
//!
//! This example uses the following interrupt handlers.  To use this example
//! in your own application you must add these interrupt handlers to your
//! vector table.
//! - INT_CAN0 - CANIntHandler

The circuit diagram I use is one I have encountered on TI forums before.

I can see my CAN message on the PD5 (Tx) pin of the transmitter part with an oscilloscope.

Likewise, I can read this message from the PD4 (Rx) pin of the receiver.

in other words, it seems that there is no problem with the transmitter part. However, when I run the program, the following error message appears in the Transmitter section.

And yes cable is connected..

In the receiver section, the image I got from the serial port is as follows:

When I followed the error in the transmitter part, I saw that the reason was "g_bErrFlag = 1".
The reason for "g_bErrFlag = 1" is that it is "ui32Status == CAN_INT_INTID_STATUS".
all happening within the CANIntHandler function.

void
CANIntHandler(void)
{
    uint32_t ui32Status;

    //
    // Read the CAN interrupt status to find the cause of the interrupt
    //
    ui32Status = CANIntStatus(CAN0_BASE, CAN_INT_STS_CAUSE);

    //
    // If the cause is a controller status interrupt, then get the status
    //
    if(ui32Status == CAN_INT_INTID_STATUS)
    {

        //
        // Read the controller status.  This will return a field of status
        // error bits that can indicate various errors.  Error processing
        // is not done in this example for simplicity.  Refer to the
        // API documentation for details about the error status bits.
        // The act of reading this status will clear the interrupt.
        //
        ui32Status = CANStatusGet(CAN0_BASE, CAN_STS_CONTROL);

        //
        // Set a flag to indicate some errors may have occurred.
        //
        g_bErrFlag = 1;
    }

    //
    // Check if the cause is message object 1, which what we are using for
    // receiving messages.
    //
    else if(ui32Status == 1)
    {

        //
        // Getting to this point means that the RX interrupt occurred on
        // message object 1, and the message reception is complete.  Clear the
        // message object interrupt.
        //
        CANIntClear(CAN0_BASE, 1);

        //
        // Increment a counter to keep track of how many messages have been
        // received.  In a real application this could be used to set flags to
        // indicate when a message is received.
        //
        g_ui32MsgCount++;

        //
        // Set flag to indicate received message is pending.
        //
        g_bRXFlag = 1;

        //
        // Since a message was received, clear any error flags.
        //
        g_bErrFlag = 0;
    }

    //
    // Otherwise, something unexpected caused the interrupt.  This should
    // never happen.
    //
    else
    {
        //
        // Spurious interrupt handling can go here.
        //
    }
    //UARTprintf("Debug: Rx_Int triggered\n");
    //UARTprintf("Debug: CANIntStatus is %d\n",ui32Status);
}

I could not solve this error anyway. I would be glad if you could help me with this. Have a nice day.

  • Your message is a bit confusing. You are showing scope shots of PD4 and PD5, but these are the TX and RX pins of UART2. The code is using PA0 and PA1 for CAN. If using an EK-TM4C129EXL LaunchPad, make sure you change the UART/CAN jumpers from horizontal to vertical to disconnect PA0 and PA1 from the ICDI serial port. See https://www.ti.com/lit/an/spna245/spna245.pdf#page=2 for a picuture of the jumpers.

  • Hello Bob thanks for quick reply.

    Yes I changed the Jumpers just like in the picture.

    I actually tried to make the setup which inside this topic. (please look at the Charles Tsai's message on the second page)

    e2e.ti.com/.../ek-tm4c129exl-can-bus-transmit-tx-is-not-working

  • By the way, I can see the same message from the PA1 pin of the transceiver Launchpad and the PA0 pin of the receiver Launchpad.

  • Actually you should see one bit different, the ACK bit. Is the signal continuously repeating? If so, then the frame is not being acknowledged by the receiver. Compare PA1 (CAN0TX) to PA0 (CAN0RX) of the transmitting board with two scope probes at the same time. You should see a low on CAN0RX at the end that you do not see on CAN0TX. This is caused by CAN0TX of the receiving board.

  • Hello Bob!

    I didn't realize if the ACK bit was different. I'll compare these two signals when I go to the office tomorrow morning. Well, if there is no difference as you mentioned, could it be due to the code on the receiver board? Also is there anything wrong with this circuit schematic? Can a proper CAN communication be provided with this setup?

    Thanks.

  • If there is no ACK bit, the problem is either the hardware or the software on the RX board. The circuit schematic will work, but is not a proper CAN bus. You will be limited in the length of the bus. The scope picture looks like you have good edges, so I don't expect that to be the problem here.

  • Hello!

    Unfortunately my second probe is broken so I have to check two signal with same probe.

    I pasted two picture of signals in one pic.

    Top one is CAN0RX(PA0) and bottom one is CAN0TX(PA1) of the transmitting board.

    It seems there is nothing different with each other.

    And these are continuously repeating I think.

    So this is the signal on the CAN0RX(PA0) of the receiver board. Also this is totally same with others. 

    And the CAN0TX(PA1) of the receiver board = 3.3V

    Also I tried it with different TM4C1294 launchpad for the receiver, but result was still same. Well in this situation you said the problem could on the software of the receiver board. Do you see anything wrong my code?

    By the way my mind is bit confused because my CAN0RX and CAN0TX pins are not connected anything. The two launchpads are connected together with U2RX and U2TX. How can two boards make CAN communication like this?

  • That explains the problem. The hand drawn circuit diagram is incorrect. Where you connected to PD4 you should have connected to PA0 (CAN0RX) and where you have PD5 you should have connected to PA1 (CAN0TX). Sorry I did not catch this sooner.
