ZC702 J52 CAN Bus

[bb8]

I have a ZC702 and want to set up communication in Linux with a 5V CAN bus device connected to J52. I have the device tree configured and "ifconfig -a" returns:

can0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

In Vivado I have can0 configured to use MIO46 (CAN_TXD), MIO47 (CAN_RXD).

I am attempting to use canutils to start can0 but receive ERROR-ACTIVE.

root@zc702-zynq7:~/s/canutils_install/sbin# ./canconfig can0 bitrate 500000
[  145.059053] xilinx_can e0008000.can can0: bitrate error 0.7%
can0 bitrate: 496031, sample-point: 0.666
root@zc702-zynq7:~/s/canutils_install/sbin# ./canconfig can0 start
can0 state: ERROR-ACTIVE

root@zc702-zynq7:~/s/canutils_install/sbin# dmesg|grep can

[  145.059053] xilinx_can e0008000.can can0: bitrate error 0.7%

What should I look at to get CAN to start? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,

I also met the same problem. When I type "./config can0 start", it shows:

can0 state: ERROR-ACTIVE

How did you solve this problem?

Hi,

Could you try these commands?

root@Xilinx-ZC702:~# canconfig can0 bitrate 500000 -> this will set bit rate to 500kbps
root@Xilinx-ZC702:~# ifconfig can0 up [OR canconfig can0 start]
root@Xilinx-ZC702:~# ifconfig
root@Xilinx-ZC702:~# cansniffer can0 &

Then in CAN analyzer tool it should show up messages like the below:

Then we will able to see the can sniffing of packets as below
time ID data ... cansniffer can0 # l=2 h=10 t=50
time ID data ... cansniffer can0 # l=2 h=10 t=50
9.999999 3af 01 01 00 01 ....
0.000000 3af 01 01 00 01 ....
3.004191 3af 02 .
0.000000 3af 02 .

To check number of packets received

root@Xilinx-ZC702:~# ifcofign can0
can0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:16 Metric:1
RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
RX bytes:5 (5.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Interrupt:10

Hi @bb8 

did you solve this problem? because i have the same issue.

Hi @pvenugo 
Is it possible to test the CAN-BUS in two boards zc7020 using cansend and candump command on J52.
because i try to wire the CAN_H, CAN_L and Ground with jumper and try to send the sample data for one board (zc7020) using cansend can0 05a1#11.22.33 and try to recieve the this data using candump can0 in other terminla but nothing appears.
Do you have some advise for me, please? how to test candump can0 to communicate two boards zc7020? or should we just use CAN-Analyzer?

Best Regards

Ray
