Hi,
I just using STM32CubeIDE for 2 or 3 days. I am doing a test with a Nucleo-L476RG and CAN bus. With you help, your sample, I make my board talking with other board of mine.
Just a question, maybe a *** one, where can I gather informations about CAN_TxHeaderTypeDef, uint32_t RTR or uint32_t IDE... and so mutch other symbols? Is there a documentation about?
Best Regards,
Maurice.

The documentation will be in the User Manual for the Software Pack; eg, STM32CubeL4:
https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32cubel4.html#documentation
It is also present in the source code - use your IDE's 'Go To Definition' feature to find it

Well, I found the answer... all what I want is defined in stm32l4xx_hal_can.h file...
