Hi, I have been trying to build a proof of concept system using two beaglebone black units with there DCAN1 (pins P9_24 and P9_26) and two can transcievers TI SN65HVD251P. The can transceivers are powered from the same 5V bench supply as both of the beaglebone blacks. the canh and canl pins are terminated at both ends by 120R resistors to ensure the 60R bus impedence.
I was following the instructions in other posts about updating to the latest debian version and then upgrading the kernel to 3.14. This i have done. uname -a Linux beaglebone 3.14.35-ti-rt-r56 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 29 01:13:05 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux I added dtb=am335x-boneblack-can1.dtb to the uEnv.txt I have also installed the canbus tools within the image so i can attempt a cangen can0 and candump can0. On system boot i am doing the following: modprobe can modprobe can-dev modprobe can-raw ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000 triple-sampling on ifconfig can0 up however if i use candump can0 and cangen can0 within two seperate putty sessions i dont see anything. If I create a vcan bus i do see the messages in loopback. sudo modprobe vcan sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan sudo ifconfig vcan0 up Previously I was using an older debian image and found that when i ran cangen can0 that the buffer would give me an error that it was full. however now with the latest image i am not getting the bufer full message but still not seeing anything on the candump. What should i expect to see here? Can anyone see where I have gone wrong or a step i am missing? Thanks in advance.
