How to get FDCAN working on STM32G0B1 microcontrollers

[adarsh_k_96]

I have an STM32G0B1CBT6 board and am trying to get CANFD / FDCAN working. I have STM32CubeIDE code that works, but I am unable to get it to work with Arduino. Here is my code; any help is appreciated.

STM32G0B1CBT6 is a MCU not an board. So what board are you using? ST board? custom board? please show image of the board or a link to an image of it. What do you mean by "is not working?"

Are you establishing a complete CAN bus with two nodes and each one having a CAN transceiver?
