4. CAN Application
The TTCAN module can emulate a C_CAN module in ordinary event driven ISO 11898-1 CAN
communication. C_CAN software can also be used for the TTCAN, provided that the TTCAN’s
application watchdog is disabled in the configuration phase, as described in chapter 2.3.4.2.
The registers of the TTCAN module are subdivided into three classes: configuration registers,
status registers, and application registers. The configuration registers are used only in the
initialisation of the module. The application and status registers provide access to the CAN
messages and give information on the CAN communication, interfacing between the internal
message handling and the application program.
4.1 Internal CAN Message Handling
The Message Handler FSM controls the data transfer between the Rx/Tx Shift Register of the
CAN Core, the Message RAM and the IFx Registers, performing the following tasks:
• Data Transfer from IFx Registers to the Message RAM.
• Data Transfer from Message RAM to the IFx Registers.
• Data Transfer from Message RAM to CAN_Core (messages to be transmitted).
• Data Transfer from CAN_Core to the Acceptance Filtering unit.
• Scanning of Message RAM for a matching Message Object (acceptance filtering).
• Data Transfer from CAN_Core to the Message RAM (received messages).
• Handling of TxRqst flags.
• Handling of interrupts.
4.1.1 Data Transfer Between IFx Registers and Message RAM
There are two sets of IFx Registers. Each set of IFx Registers consists of Command
Registers, controlling the data transfer, and Message Buffer Registers, containing the
Message Object.
The Command Request Register addresses the desired Message Object in the Message
RAM, the respective Command Mask Register specifies whether a complete Message Object
or only parts of it will be transferred. The data transfer is initiated by writing to the Command
Request Register.
Due to the structure of the Message RAM, it is not possible to change single bits/bytes of one
Message Object, it is always necessary to access a complete Message Object in the Message
RAM. Therefore the data transfer from the IFx Registers to the Message RAM requires the
Message Handler FSM to perform a read-modify-write cycle. First those parts of the Message
Object that are not to be changed are read from the Message RAM into the Message Buffer
Registers, and then the complete contents of the Message Buffer Registers are written into
the Message Object.
After the partial write of a Message Object, that Message Buffer Registers that are not
selected in the Command Mask Register will be set to the actual contents of the selected
Message Object.
After the partial read of a Message Object, that Message Buffer Registers that are not
selected in the Command Mask Register will be left unchanged.
