Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL2-570LC43, HALCOGEN
Hi,
I am using the Hercules LaunchPad eval board for the TMS570LC43x (LAUNCHXL2-570LC43). I am trying to receive CAN bus traffic transmitted from another unrelated board. I have verified the can traffic is on the wire correctly, at 1 Mbit baud, with a CAN bus sniffer.
The setting of the BTR reg depends on knowing the CAN_CLK speed, which is equivalent to the VCLK, which is selected to be PLL1. I looked at the PLL1 config reg (PLLCTL1) and it specifies 3 more components (R, NR, and NF) to determine the PLL1 frequency. Section 14.5 of the manual uses R, NR, and NF, but also introduces another variable OD. Can you please provide an explanation of how the value of OD is determined? I'm just trying to determine a baud rate for the can bus.
Thanks!
David
