Can FDCAN work with CAN 2.0B devices?

[anuj]

I am working on a project where the requirement for the microcontroller is to communicate over the CAN bus. The STM32G0B1KET6 is having FDCAN controller inside. It mentions in the datasheet that "The CAN modules are compliant with ISO 11898-1 (CAN protocol specification version 2.0 part A, B) and CAN FD protocol specification version 1.0".

Does it mean it will work with Non-FDCAN devices i.e just the CAN2.0A/B interface?

While looking at the other series for STM32 controller, it is clearly mentioned that The CAN peripheral supports CAN protocol version 2.0 A, B Active.

Hi @anuj​ ,

The answer is yes.

Here an example STM32CubeG0/Projects/STM32G0C1E-EV/Examples/FDCAN/FDCAN_Classic_Frame_Networking.

AN5348 can bring you some more insights about FDCAN implementation in STM32 products.

I forgot to mention this..... The project properties to change the MCU type is not available.

Hello Amel,

Please tell me what are the exact steps to porting the FDCAN_Classic_Frame_Networking example from the STM32G0C1VETX CPU you reference above to my STM32H735IGK6 CPU on my STM32H735G-DK board. I have tried importing the project and importing the example, creating a new project with the h735 and importing source from the G0C1, but CubeIDE still references the old  STM32G0C1VETX builds files and fails.

Hello @tmlee_mts ,

Refer to Projects\STM32H743I-EVAL\Examples\FDCAN\FDCAN_Classic_Frame_Networking (from STM32CubeH7) instead of STM32G0C1 (not the same family). But you have to check the clocks where you have some differences.
