FIFO - Reset New Data Register

Hi,

I´m using a ST10F272 for communication to external ECU´s over CAN. Actually i´m working on a FIFO buffer to store up to 8 CAN messages. As the ST10 doesn´t provide a real FIFO buffer i tried to write my own algorithm therefore. First simply disable the reset of the NewDat Bit(s) until all messages have been read out to ensure that no new messages will be written in previous slots (that have already been read out). As the New Data Register is read only, my very problem is now to access the ''old'' message objects and respectively the Command Mask register to reset the related NewDat Bit in the New Data Register. Can anyone help me solving this problem ?

Hi Stefan,

at the first time you read out the messages from the message ram without set the bit TxRqst/NewDat to one in the command mask register --> the New Data bit remains set in the message object (and therefore in the new data register). Right? To reset the New Data bit read out the messages a second time from the message RAM with bit TxRqst/NewDat set to one in the command mask register. The corresponding bits in the new data register then are automatically reseted. This should solve your problem. 😉 [ This message was edited by: Mirco on 19-09-2008 19:49 ] [ This message was edited by: Mirco on 19-09-2008 19:50 ]

As you may already know, its working.

The main problem was the message number i put to the reset function. Just had to fix a sign flaw but took me hours to recognize. thanks again for the help 😉 [ This message was edited by: stefan.nischwitz on 24-09-2008 16:36 ]
