Hi Mark, Tom, et al,<br class="">
<br class="">
See my earlier posts on the progress here, or the lack thereof...<br class="">
<br class="">
I can reliably reproduce the issue by having a HUD connected to
CAN3, and then (after the HUD has started trying to connect),
starting the obdii ecu task. This fails 100%. If I start the HUD
or use an OBDII dongle, let it make a mess of the bus through
whatever it's doing, and then stop it before starting the obdii
task, it never fails. So, there seems to be a race condition
somewhere in the receive side of the world, during the process of
opening the CAN device while traffic is actively being received.
The obdii ecu task, however, is very reliable once it starts, and
I've not had any sort of lockups once going. But, note that the
usage of the bus is almost entirely a request / reply sort of thing,
so is self limiting.<br class="">
<br class="">
I've done a bunch of tracing and debug-printf'ing around this issue,
and have not yet found how to get the receiver to go again, once
hung. I do not believe, for example,that the SPI bus is hung,
because I can continue to get various status interrupts while the
errors mount. Just not any receive frames, in fact, no frames at
all if I start the HUD first. I do get the status interrupts Mark
has flagged (0 -> 3 -> b), and when received, I tried clearing
them explicitly (clearing the interrupt status, that is). No change
in behavior, I suspect because I'm just clearing the status, not the
underlying cause. Unfortunately, I don't see any way to reset just
the receiver, and resetting the chip would likely just drop into the
same state again (assuming CAN traffic continues to be received).<br class="">
<br class="">
Where I think I left things a month ago (before getting side-tracked
on other projects) was to put in a delay in the obdii task so that
stuff builds up without being received, trying to force a lockup due
to the overflow. No luck. If I put in a long enough delay, the HUD
thinks the car has been turned off, and goes to sleep. Less than
that, and things recover. This was starting to make my head hurt,
so I let it rest for a bit, and got side-tracked, sorry.<br class="">
<br class="">
Tom, getting a status from you on what the chip thinks is going on
when you see the lockup will be interesting. I'm assuming that you
are receiving stuff for a while, but there's a race condition in the
receive processing somehow that you can hit, that the obdii
request/response sequencing will never hit. Do you ever transmit on
your CAN bus? I wonder transmitting a "NOP" frame of some sort
would help...<br class="">
<br class="">
I've got commitments here until next week, but may be able to get
back to poking at this after that.<br class="">

<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding:
0px;" class="">
<div class=""><i class=""><b class="">6.6 Error States</b><br class="">
<br class="">
Detected errors are made known to all other nodes via error
frames. The transmission of the erroneous mes- sage is
aborted and the frame is repeated as soon as possible.
Furthermore, each CAN node is in one of the three
error states according to the value of the internal error
counters:<br class="">
<br class="">
1. Error-active.<br class="">
2. Error-passive.<br class="">
3. Bus-off (transmitter only).<br class="">
<br class="">
The error-active state is the usual state where the node can
transmit messages and active error frames (made of dominant
bits) without any restrictions.<br class="">
<br class="">
In the error-passive state, messages and passive
error frames (made of recessive bits) may be transmitted.<br class="">
<br class="">
The bus-off state makes it temporarily impossible for the
station to participate in the bus communication. During this
state, messages can neither be received or transmitted. Only
transmitters can go bus-off.<br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">6.7 Error Modes and Error Counters</b><br class="">
<br class="">
The MCP2515 contains two error counters: the Receive Error
Counter (REC) (see Register 6-2) and the Transmit Error
Counter (TEC) (see Register 6-1). The values of both
counters can be read by the MCU. These counters
are incremented/decremented in accordance with the CAN bus
specification.<br class="">
<br class="">
The MCP2515 is error-active if both error counters are below
the error-passive limit of 128.<br class="">
<br class="">
It is error-passive if at least one of the error
counters equals or exceeds 128.<br class="">
<br class="">
It goes to bus-off if the TEC exceeds the bus-off limit
of 255. The device remains in this state until the
bus-off recovery sequence is received. The bus-off
recovery sequence consists of 128 occurrences and 11
consec- utive recessive bits (see Figure 6-1).<br class="">
<br class="">
The Current Error mode of the MCP2515 can be read by the MCU
via the EFLG register (see Register 6-3).<br class="">
<br class="">
Additionally, there is an error state warning flag
bit (EFLG:EWARN) which is set if at least one of the
error counters equals or exceeds the error warning limit
of 96. EWARN is reset if both error counters are less
than the error warning limit.</i></div>

<div class="">So that is EWARN+RXWAR when the 128 error issue occurs, and
EWARN+RXWAR+RXEP when everything is locked up. We have code to
clear the error condition (in the interrupt flags register),
but that doesn’t seem to get out of this 128 error lock-up.</div>

</div>
<div class="">I am not sure of the best approach for this. Perhaps pickup
the condition, and reset the SPI bus, in a timer every 10
seconds or so?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am not sure if this is your problem (a ‘can can2 status’
would tell us). In any case, the fix for this is to pickup
this error condition in the ISR and fix it (or perhaps a
separate periodic timer).</div>

I can say that the second can interface doesn't work for

I synced up with master about a week ago and since
then I've seen both can busses stop working. I
still see the 12v battery metric changing, but
everything that comes from the car stops.
Rebooting the module with "module reset" does not
