Linux CAN driver
Introduction
This page gives an overview of Axi Can/ CANPS/ Axi CAN FD/ CANFD PS driver which is available as part of the xilinx Linux distribution or Open source linux as
drivers/net/can/xilinx_can.c
This information corresponds to the CAN driver that is the main branch of the Git tree.
This driver supports both ZYNQ CANPS IP and Soft IP axi_can and axi_canfd.
drivers/net/can/xilinx_can.c
This information corresponds to the CAN driver that is the main branch of the Git tree.
This driver supports both ZYNQ CANPS IP and Soft IP axi_can and axi_canfd.
This driver supports both ZYNQMP CANPS IP and Soft IP axi_can and axi_canfd.
This driver supports both Versal CANFD PS IP and Soft IP axi_can and axi_canfd.
This driver defines the architecture and features of the Xilinx CAN controller core.
The driver is available at,
https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/blob/master/drivers/net/can/xilinx_can.c
the this driver.
CAN:
Attached the Cross compiled can-utils for the Microblaze and ARM(Cortexa9) architectures.

CANFD:
Xilinx CANFD hw supports this. The same linux can driver support this can fd feature
But to test this CANFD Support need to download canutils
from https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils

To run CAN, use the below command:
1. Set bit-timing
Can supports bitrates upto 1Mb/s. Xilinx CAN h/w and driver supports these bit rates
Note: Triple sampling is not supported by Xilinx CAN H/W.
$ ./ip link set can0 type can bitrate 200000
or
$ ./canconfig can0 bitrate 200000
2. Bring up the device
$ ./ip link set can0 up
or
$ ./canconfig can0 start
3. Bring down the device
$ ./ip link set can0 down
or
$ ./canconfig can0 stop
4. Transmit and receive packets with standard id number
$ ./cansend can0 -i 0x14 <bytes>
$ ./candump can0
5. Transmit and receive packets with extended id number (--loop argument here)
$ ./cansend can0 -i 0x333 <bytes>
$ ./candump can0
6. Loopback mode
$ ./canconfig can0 ctrlmode loopback on
7. Checking link state (checking bitrate/errors/packets)
$ ./ip -d -s link show can0
8. Checking net device state
$ ifconfig can0
9. Getting statistics via proc
$ cat /proc/net/can/stats
10. Socket CAN core uses several filter lists to deliver received CAN frames to CAN protocol modules. These
receive lists, their filters and the count of filter matches can be checked in the appropriate receive list. All entries contain the
device and a protocol module identifier:
$ cat /proc/net/can/rcvlist_all
rcvlist_all - list for unfiltered entries (no filter operations)
rcvlist_eff - list for single extended frame (EFF) entries
rcvlist_err - list for error message frames masks
rcvlist_fil - list for mask/value filters
rcvlist_inv - list for mask/value filters (inverse semantic)
rcvlist_sff - list for single standard frame (SFF) entries
To run CANFD, use the below command:
1. Set bit-timing
Canfd supports two bitrates, one for Arbitration phase and other for Data phase. Xilinx CANFD h/w and driver supports these bit rates
$ ./ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000 dbitrate 8000000 fd on
2. Bring up the device
$ ./ip link set can0 up
3. Bring down the device
$ ./ip link set can0 down
4. Transmit and receive canfd packets with standard id number
$ ./cansend can0 213##<bytes>
$ ./candump can0
5. Transmit and receive can packets with same controller, since canfd supports backward can also
$ ./cansend can0 123#<bytes>
$ ./candump can0
6. Loopback mode
$ ./ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000 dbitrate 8000000 fd on looopback on
7. Checking link state (checking bitrate/errors/packets)
$ ./ip -d link show can0
8. Checking net device state
$ ifconfig can0
