Hello, I am currently having issues getting UDOO's flexcan working. Following is the yocto build configuration i am using.

Since i get the following CAN related log in my dmesg output : dmesg | grep 'can' [ 1.156890] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: SSS flag set, parallel bus scan disabled [ 7.759429] 2090000.can supply xceiver not found, using dummy regulator [ 7.767589] flexcan 2090000.can: device registered (reg_base=c0ae8000, irq=142) [ 85.230994] flexcan 2090000.can can0: writing ctrl=0x0e312005 [ 376.099239] can: controller area network core (rev 20120528 abi 9) [ 376.120856] can: raw protocol (rev 20120528) [ 1347.862670] flexcan 2090000.can can0: writing ctrl=0x0e313055 [ 1347.868676] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): can0: link becomes ready Line 2 of the dmesg output says supply transceiver not found. Is there something missing in my device tree configuration. I have tried can-utils. candump is able to echo back the msgs sent using cansend when loopback is enabled. But Scope probing shows no activity on the Tx and Rx pins. I have tried using sn65hvd230 can transceiver without any success. The same transceiver works fine on other stm32 devices. Please do let me know if there is something that i could try in order to get this working.
The UDOO hardware is good bud the software and the documentation is wrong! IMX6 part: In the Udoo_pinout_diagram is CANTX gpio8 (J15 pin 8) and CANRX gpio7 (J15 pin 7). In the schematic the same. Bud in the device tree file is MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_7__FLEXCAN1_TX MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_8__FLEXCAN1_RX Uups UDOO wat is correct!? next SAM3X part: In the device tree editor, after setting the CAN BUS pins 54 and 55 and saving, it tells that in Arduino, I have to set pinMode(54, INPUT); pinMode(55, INPUT); In the file variant.h line 91/92 static const uint8_t CANRX = 68; static const uint8_t CANTX = 69; Uups UDOO wat is correct!? Solution: After switching the pins 7 and 8 of J15 and changing the port pin numbers in the arduino source file to pinMode(68, INPUT); pinMode(69, INPUT); It works fine. I use the CAN transiver TJA1051/3 (VCC = 5V, Vio = 3.3V) and in /etc/network/interfaces auto can0 iface can0 inet manual pre-up ip link set $IFACE type can bitrate 250000 listen-only off up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up down /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE down I hope this helps. UDOO: Thank you for wasting tree days of my live time!
CANBUS is a high-speed network which requires high quality wiring in order to operate properly. As such, it is sensitive to improper wiring. The majority of CANBUS communication problems are caused by poor wiring, incorrect termination, or the use of multiple frequencies on the same bus.
