eCAN: Abort Acknowledge Bit Not Set

Revision(s) Affected

0

Details

After setting a Transmission Request Reset (TRR) register bit to abort a message, there are some rare instances where the TRRn and TRSn bits will clear without setting the Abort Acknowledge (AAn) bit. The transmission itself is correctly aborted, but no interrupt is asserted and there is no indication of a pending operation.

In order for this rare condition to occur, all of the following conditions must happen:

  1. The previous message was not successful, either because of lost arbitration or because no node on the bus was able to acknowledge it or because an error frame resulted from the transmission. The previous message need not be from the same mailbox in which a transmit abort is currently being attempted.
  2. The TRRn bit of the mailbox should be set in a CPU cycle immediately following the cycle in which the TRSn bit was set. The TRSn bit remaining set due to incompletion of transmission satisfies this condition as well; that is, the TRSn bit could have been set in the past, but the transmission remains incomplete.
  3. The TRRn bit must be set in the exact SYSCLKOUT cycle where the CAN module is in idle state for one cycle. The CAN module is said to be in idle state when it is not in the process of receiving/transmitting data.

If these conditions occur, then the TRRn and TRSn bits for the mailbox will clear tclr SYSCLKOUT cycles after the TRR bit is set where:

tclr = [(mailbox_number) * 2] + 3 SYSCLKOUT cycles

The TAn and AAn bits will not be set if this condition occurs. Normally, either the TA or AA bit sets after the TRR bit goes to zero.

Workaround(s)

When this problem occurs, the TRRn and TRSn bits will clear within tclr SYSCLKOUT cycles. To check for this condition, first disable the interrupts. Check the TRRn bit tclr SYSCLKOUT cycles after setting the TRRn bit to make sure it is still set. A set TRRn bit indicates that the problem did not occur.

If the TRRn bit is cleared, it could be because of the normal end of a message and the corresponding TAn or AAn bit is set. Check both the TAn and AAn bits. If either one of the bits is set, then the problem did not occur. If they are both zero, then the problem did occur. Handle the condition like the interrupt service routine would except that the AAn bit does not need clearing now.

If the TAn or AAn bit is set, then the normal interrupt routine will happen when the interrupt is re-enabled.
