How can I control CAN bus on TX2?

sunyeong.jung · December 20, 2017, 2:33am

Hi all,

I read previous topic about CAN.

I use Jetpack 3.1 on TX2.

and I went through the following process.

Inserting module.
sudo modprobe can
sudo modprobe can-raw
sudo modprobe mttcan
Setting CAN interface
sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 2000000 berr-reporting on fd on
sudo ip link set up can0
sudo ip link set can1 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 2000000 berr-reporting on fd on
sudo ip link set up can1
Installing app can-utils
sudo apt-get install can-utils

when I inserted module I read kern.log like below.

I broadcasted a can data packet like ‘cansend can0 123#abcdabcd’ or ‘cangen can0 -I i -L 2 -D i -v -v’
(Command ‘cangen’ displayed like below.)

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ cangen can0 -I i -L 2 -D i -v -v

and checked the interface statistics like ‘ip -details -statistics link show can0’

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ ip -details -statistics link show can0

In the course of a cangen, I scoped out CAN0 TX pin(7 of J26).
Please watch attached pictures. It had no signal.

Both CAN0 and CAN1 had same results.

Finally, I want to watch CAN communication among CAN nodes on TX2.

How can I solve the problem?
Please answer about my question.

Hi sunyeong.jung,

Have you read below post?
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1025630/jetson-tx2/what-is-the-order-of-communication-for-can-communication-/post/5216441/#5216441[/url]

sunyeong.jung · December 26, 2017, 4:22am

Thanks kayccc.

I read that post.
and I tried CAN transceiver board to do same process.

but I think CAN tx pin(ex. 7 pin of J26) should have some signal, before connecting the transceiver board, when I commend ‘cangen can0’.

Is there anything else to consider on the board or pin map and so on?

walterkim · January 4, 2018, 1:35am

Hi

I had a similar problem

My CAN Phychip is NXP TJA1051.

It supports tow modes.(Normal : Tx,Rx / Silent : Rx)

CAN1_STBY pin is connected mode select pin on TJA1051.

CAN1_STBY pin is high after driver loaded. and TJA1051 is Silent mode.

so bus off when CAN Tx.

change my device tree below

mttcan@c310000 {
                status = "okay";
                gpio_can_stb = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 0) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                gpio_can_en = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 1) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                mram-params = <0 16 16 8 8 8 16 16 16>;
                tx-config = <8 8 0 64>;
                rx-config = <64 64 64>;
        };

        mttcan@c320000 {
                status = "okay";
                gpio_can_stb = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 6) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
                gpio_can_en = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 7) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                mram-params = <0 16 16 8 8 8 16 16 16>;
                tx-config = <8 8 0 64>;
                rx-config = <64 64 64>;
        };

CAN BUS working is gooooood!

sunyeong.jung · January 4, 2018, 11:29pm

Thanks @walterkim !!

As your advice, I controlled operating mode of my transceiver.

and then. It works!!

Thank you!!

zhaozoz · February 28, 2018, 10:14am

Hi all:

mttcan@c320000 {
                status = "okay";
                gpio_can_stb = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 6) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                gpio_can_en = <&tegra_aon_gpio TEGRA_AON_GPIO(AA, 7) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                mram-params = <0 16 16 8 8 8 16 16 16>;
                tx-config = <8 8 0 64>;
                rx-config = <64 64 64>;
        };

Can I change the gpio_can_stb to low in any other way?

This pin decides whether the can is in standby mode.

I tried this way:

root@tegra-ubuntu:/home/nvidia# cd /sys/class/gpio/
export       gpiochip232/ gpiochip240/ gpiochip256/ gpiochip320/ unexport     
root@tegra-ubuntu:/home/nvidia# cd /sys/class/gpio/
root@tegra-ubuntu:/sys/class/gpio# echo 302 > export 
bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
root@tegra-ubuntu:/sys/class/gpio#

It cannot be controlled by the gpio way.

Bibek · March 14, 2018, 3:54pm

once a driver has claimed the gpio, sysfs can not claim or control it any more.
You have to control it from the mttcan driver only in this case.
May be you can add a sysfs or debugfs node to the driver to control the gpio

mantravadi_karthik · March 15, 2018, 8:49am

Hi zhoazoz,

The gpio_can_stb pin cannot be controlled through sysfs because, you have already exported the same using mttcan in dt.

One way is to remove the dt entry and export it using sysfs, so that you have control on the direction and value through sysfs.
If you want the dt node to register the gpio_can_stb and gpio_can_en at boot, there is no user space way to modify it after boot. You can control the pin through a kernel module using the following functions,
int gpio_direction_input(unsigned int gpio);
int gpio_direction_output(unsigned int gpio, int value);
int gpio_get_value(unsigned int gpio);
void gpio_set_value(unsigned int gpio, int value);

In your case, you can write a simple kernel module with
void gpio_set_value(302, 1);

Hi,

Which file can i check for the contents below and where is it present?
mttcan@c320000 {

tx-config = <8 8 0 64>;
rx-config = <64 64 64>;

@Pratosha.

The file you’re looking for is in the kernel sources:

Hello everyone, I have achieved the communication successfully after learning below methods.
But I also have another question, How can read data of can_rx,can_tx using C? I find out that J26 is a GPIO expender.
And do i need to read the data of pins of J26 to gain the can data?If it is right ,how should I define the number of pins,
I am looking forward to having a reference article or paper to have a guidance. Thanks a lot.

david_evans_g · April 16, 2019, 7:42am

Socketcan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocketCAN

Install can-utils
https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils

$ sudo apt-get install can-utils

Candump will dump all received CAN data:

$ candump can0

(or can1, depending on which interface you’re using)

C Examples: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/networking/can.html
