CAN use on an AM335x ICE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi,

  Is there an an example/code of the use of the CAN bus on this board ?

Thanks for the help

  • Hi Jim, check out the info on the SYSBIOS Industrial SDK.  This should have demos for DCAN on the ICE board.

  • Hi,

       Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried building the dcanTxRx demo and the version in the 

    am335x_sysbios_ind_sdk_01_01_00_05/ examples is built for the evmskAM335x board.  Retargeting it for the ICE board did let it build but the in it dcan.c code references code in the cpid.c file that tries to open a CPLD to get the board configuration, this chip does not exist on the AM335x ICE.  The I2C read attempt just hangs the program. So I can build the demo but it doesn't run.  The problem is not the SYS/BIOS but in the examples I have.  

    Does this SYSBIOS have an example that runs on the AM335x Industrial Communication Engine board ?  Either that or instructions on how to build the dcanTxRx sample code for the ICE.

    I'm missing some really fundamental here as I've read the Getting Started and Use manuals for the ICE board and all describe building and running the examples and thus far only the LED example works correctly for me.  I have the  prebuilt examples and those work but I cannot find how to build the source code for these examples that runs.

    Thanks for your help.
