An unusual fast reply from Espressif. They basically declared it to
be a feature…<br>

I've submitted an issue to Espressif on this:<br>

It would be nice if I could reproduce the effect using some
standard hardware.<br>
I've ordered some of those combined ESP32 + OLED units, but don't
have any CAN transceivers I could hook up to them.<br>
Maybe the info I've provided is sufficient for Espressif to
investigate.<br>

Second finding & commit:<br>
<br>
TL;DR:<br>
<ul>
<li>ESP32 CAN controller is broken, delivers trashed &
duplicated RX frames</li>
<li>we need to optimize interrupt latency</li>
</ul>
<br>
Users have been reporting occasional false BMS readings on the
Twizy for more than a year.<br>
The error always trashed the reading of voltage #10 and/or
temperature #8, so I initially<br>
thought that must be a variant of the SPIRAM/cache bug.<br>
<br>
But the SPIRAM fix didn't help, and the bug still occured with
all BMS data in internal<br>
RAM. The issue correlated with high load situations and the
SIMCOM UART issue. On testing the<br>
latest changes by Marko, my car module began showing that issue
regularly, so I could take a<br>
closer look. It turned out the wrong data came from the CAN bus.
Checking with a CAN logger<br>
didn't show any wrong data on the bus.<br>
<br>
So I scanned our CAN driver for potential issues, found &
solved some (even a serious<br>
race condition) but that didn't fix it. I then added debug dumps
of all frames read, dug<br>
into the SJA1000 spec sheet and found this:<br>
<br>
The SJA1000 RX FIFO has a capacity of 64 bytes. It's supposed to
work as a ring buffer,<br>
with frames wrapping around as necessary. If no space is left in
the FIFO for a new frame<br>
coming in, that frame should be discarded completely, not
counted, just the overflow<br>
indicator should be set & the according interrupt be
generated.<br>
<br>
Reality differs. The frame causing the overflow is added to the
FIFO partially. It's also<br>
counted both in the RMC register and indicated by RBS as a valid
frame when retrieving<br>
the FIFO contents. The read buffer delivers the partial frame +
some trashed bytes up<br>
to the nominal frame length.<br>
<br>
In the BMS frame sequence it would normally trash bytes 7 &
8 on the sixth frame of length<br>
8 in a sequence. A standard frame needs a 3 byte header + the
data bytes in the FIFO, so<br>
6 frames would add up to 66 bytes => 64 + 2 trash. The first
trash byte normally is "08",<br>
the second "84" or "2a" or sometimes "ab", possibly some
internal SJA1000 data.<br>
<br>
Better yet, if you rely on the indicators of the SJA1000 when
reading the FIFO, the<br>
SJA1000 will repeat the first frame within the FIFO after the
invalid frame. Mostly<br>
once or twice, and sometimes 7 times or more:<br>

If you had occasional strange false readings leading to strange
effects, this<br>
may be the explanation. Note: the SJA1000 FIFO bug may need
specific circumstance<br>
to occur in addition to the overflow, maybe the overflow
happening on a specific<br>
byte position in the FIFO -- I haven't tried to determine that.<br>
<br>
I've tried clearing the overflow ASAP, looping on the IR
indicator and looping<br>
on the RMC, the fault is always the same. The workaround I've
now done is adding<br>
up the message lengths read during a FIFO run and discard all
frames exceeding<br>
the 64 byte border. Not pretty, but functional.<br>
<br>
That keeps the trashed frames from being forwarded to the OVMS
application level.<br>
<br>
As with the SIMCOM UART, these overflows wouldn't happen if the
interrupt handler<br>
would react fast enough. It seems we've got a general interrupt
latency issue.<br>
<br>
And just as with the SIMCOM I saw a reduction of overflows when
allocating the<br>
CAN IRQ on core #0, another one with raising the IRQ level to 3,
so that's<br>
also part of my commit.<br>
<br>
The esp-idf CAN driver apparently has the same issue even in the
latest release,<br>
I'll contact the author about this or post another issue to
Espressif.<br>
<br>
So our interrupt allocation is now:<br>

<br>
I think we need to find the source of the interrupt latency
and/or find some<br>
better scheme to distribute the tasks & interrupts over the
cores.<br>
<br>
I still don't know why core #1 already got an issue with just
our 6 interrupts.<br>
This may be related to the SPIRAM fix adding overhead, but I've
seen the FIFO<br>
overflows before applying the fix, and the CAN issue also has
been present for<br>
over a year.<br>
<br>
My working hypothesis is some task/driver disabling interrupts
for too often<br>
/ too long, or non-IRAM ISRs getting delayed for too often / too
long. And it<br>
seems this is an issue especially on core #1.<br>
<br>
Please verify & comment.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>
<br>
PS: a little side mystery: the netmanager task starts with
priority 5, then<br>
gets raised to 22 (probably a mutex priority inheritance), but
never gets<br>
lowered back to 5 afterwards. A FreeRTOS bug?<br>
