CAN hardware filter returns 0

Questions » CAN hardware filter returns 0

Hi all,

I use this little snippet to test out the CAN hardware acceptance filter:

CAN hw acceptance filter

#include "mbed.h"
CAN can(p30, p29);

DigitalOut led1(LED1);
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);

int handle;
void isrr() {
	CANMessage m;
	if(can.read(m,handle)) {
                led1=!led1;
		pc.printf("ISR!");
         }
}

int main() {
	led1=0;
	can.reset();
	handle = can.filter(0x100, 0xff, CANStandard);
	can.frequency(500000);
	can.attach(&isrr);
	pc.printf("MAIN:%d\n", handle);
	char a = 0;
	while(1){
		can.write(CANMessage(0x10,&a,1));
		a++;
		wait(1);
	}
	return 0;
}

The problem is that, handle gets the value 0. This is what the api documentation says: "Returns 0 if filter change failed or unsupported"

What can I do to fix this, so I can use the hardware acceptance filter?

Im using the mbed LPC1768.

Cheers, Boris

Boris, I also have the same issue (just posted a question yesterday about the same thing) and I can add that can.frequency(500000) is also returning 0 each time your using it. I looked over the forum for other examples that have been used and not had any success.

If you try this: Does it work for you?

    if(!can.frequency(500000))
    printf("baud rate faild");

Filter example I found

can->reset(); // reset and clear all filters (accept all messages)
h1 = can->filter(0x100, 0x700, CANStandard); // Accept standard messages with id 0x100-0x1FF
h2 = can->filter(0x200, 0x7FF, CANStandard); // Accept standard message 0x200 as well
[...]
h2 = can->filter(0x300, 0x7FF, CANStandard, h2); // Accept standard message 0x300, overwrite 0x200
 
CANMessage msg = CANMessage();
int r = can.read(msg, h1); // Should only return messages with id 0x100-0x1FF
int r = can.read(msg, h2); // Should only return messages with id 0x300
int r = can.read(msg);     // Returns 0x100-0x1FF if pending, otherwise 0x300, otherwise any message

Yeah i found the same example, but even when trying to reset first, it still returns 0. I'm not sure wether my can.frequency(500000) returns 0 as well, but I can confirm, that it sets the frequency to 500000 in my program (as i tested it with another device at 500000 frequency).

Hopefully someone knows the answer to this?

Boris, Have you found a solution or received an answer yet to this issue?

Nope, unfortunately not. I was hoping someone of the mbed team would have an explanation for this??

Hi Rob, I found this snippet: http://mbed.org/users/ym1784/code/CAN_MONITOR/file/fe1f886dff76/main.cpp which works for me!

It would have been a lot nicer if the standard library would just work though.

Hi Boris and Rob, did you ever get the library filter to work? I'm using the same workaround too!
