Hi,
I am trying to establish CAN communication between three different MCUs: NUCLEO-H723ZG, NUCLEO-H755ZIQ, and NUCLEO-G474RE. However, I am unable to successfully communicate between the boards, even though the same baud rate has been configured on all MCUs. I have also connected an external CAN transceiver to each board for proper CAN bus operation.
On the NUCLEO-G474RE, I have enabled UART4 to send command data, using the following pins:
-
PC11 – UART4_RX
-
PC10 – UART4_TX
Clock Frequency [SYSCLK] & Baud Rate [CAN]:
1. NUCLEO-H723ZG: 550 MHz
Baud Rate: 500000 Bit/s
2. NUCLEO-H755ZIQ: 480 MHz
Baud Rate: 500000 Bit/s
3. NUCLEO-G474RE: 170 MHz
Baud Rate: 500000 Bit/s
1. The problem is on the RECEIVE side
2.
- Enabled FDCAN properly
- Set classic CAN (good)
- Matching bit timing (mostly OK)
- Sending known ID (0x125)
- Toggling LED to prove firmware is alive
- Using real transceivers (TJA1050)
3.
I've disabled into the HSI clock for G4 projects, and the projects files are attached below.
Hello,
This is your main from STM32H7:
1- You are sending in the while loop while you said you are not sending anything.
2- How are you testing the Rx? I'm not seeing any RxCall back!

3- I said previously: please avoid 1Tq for TSEG&/TSEG2 timing configuration. Please review my posts above:
I've enabled the bus error display and monitored it with & without the working pair of boards (G474RE).
With the working board setup:
After disconnecting the working board setup:

I hope this is clear for you.
