Issue in CAN Normal mode with STM32F412

mohamed_25 · ‎2024-10-29

If anyone Work on project that interfacing Can transceiver TJA1050 with STM32F412RET6 , if yes i hope anyone send Example code that work and clock configurations ,, the loopback mode work correctly .. but in normal mode problems start ... and operating voltages of TJA

The TJA1050 is just a simple "combinatorial" device, i.e. logic for voltage level adaption. There is no programmable functionality whatsoever.
Loopback mode works correctly because the loopback is usually internal (i.e. on-chip), and the signals don't leave the MCU (or have no consequence).

If loopback works, the next step is to connect two compatible CAN nodes on digital level directly.
Compatible means either two STM32F412 boards, or two CAN interfaces on the same board. (CAN-TX1 to CAN-RX2, and vice versa).

If that works, you can proceed to different nodes connected via transceivers. You will need a scope, or configurable logic analyser. CAN is a differential bus : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus#/media/File:ISO11898-2.svg

i understand this ,, i use 2 MCUS with 2 tja1050 Transciever but i dont work so i need example code to make sure that problem in hardware

So use a scope or logic analyser to see what's actually happening on the wires.

No point in messing with software if it is a hardware problem!

The TJA1050 is a 5V transceiver but VIHmin = 2V which is OK.

Meanwhile, what do you set as voltage level for S pin (Silent mode)?

So check if S pin in connected to the ground.
