STM32F1 canbus problem zephyr

[eiten]

Hello everybody,

I try to get canbus communication on the blue pill+ under zephyr to work. I use the canopennode sample. I got the following overlay:

 

/ {
 model = "STM32 Minimum Development Board (Blue)";
 compatible = "stm32_min_dev_blue", "st,stm32f103c8";

 leds {
 led: led {
 gpios = <&gpiob 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
 };
 };
 chosen {
 zephyr,canbus = &can1;
 };
 buttons {
 compatible = "gpio-keys";
 button0: button_0 {
 gpios = <&gpioa 0 (GPIO_PULL_DOWN | GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH)>;
 label = "User Key";
/* zephyr,code = <INPUT_KEY_0>;*/
 };
 };
 aliases {
 sw0 = &button0;
 };

};

&can1 {
 pinctrl-0 = <&can_rx_remap1_pb8 &can_tx_remap1_pb9>;
 pinctrl-names = "default";
 status = "okay";
};

 

My compile command looks like this:

 

west build -b stm32_min_dev@blue -p -- -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink -DCONF_FILE="prj_no_storage.conf"

 

 But I get network unready errors:

Any ideas?

Welcome @eiten, to the community!

Well, problems with the so-called Blue Pill have been discussed very often in the community: it is a third-party product from Asia, where not only development instructions were ignored, but also counterfeits of the STM32F103 have been used almost exclusively for years. You should therefore contact the manufacturer of that fake MCU or the manufacturer of the Blue Pills for support.

Good luck!

Hi Peter,

oh, I didn't know that! Is there a way to check if the STM32F103 is fake or real? And could you recomend a cheap dev board which is capable of can/canopen? canfd is not needed, and only 1 adc and 1 i2c would be enough.

Thanks, Edi

Not so easy to catch the fake from real but you can see this link: https://hackaday.com/2020/10/22/stm32-clones-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/

We recommend using ST boards with genuine MCUs.

As you are not needing a FDCAN interface and just Classic CAN, I can recommend NUCLEO-f103rb:

You need to add a CAN transceiver.

Hope it helps
