Hi all,
we bought a BBB a few days ago. I tried to run a simple can send/receive demo. I'm using the "out of the box" angstrom linux distribution and activated the dcan1 according to this tutorial: http://www.embedded-things.com/bbb/enable-canbus-on-the-beaglebone-black/ . The overlay is placed and the driver comes up as expected. My ifconfig shows the can0 if and I could start a simple onboard loopback demo. Now we ordered a HS-CAN transceiver (microchip MCP2551) and setup a simple circurit and connected the CAN bus to an external stimmulator. Now to my problem: I only can send data on the bus (even on the relatet pin on BBB) when I initialize the CAN with loopback mode enabled, otherwise only the first frame can be seen via a oscilloscope but the bus tracer reports an error. All attempts to write again on the bus fail afterwards. Dmesg tells me "c_can_platform 481d0000.d_can can0: setting BTR=1c0e BRPE=0000". The next problem is, when I start in loopback mode, I only can send on the bus, but when I trigger a frame with the external bus stimulator I can see the frame circulating on the bus (again only with the oscilloscope) but no reception at the RXD pin of my BBB. Does this sound familar to any one?
