On/off RTR frames reception
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For most flexcan IP cores the driver supports 2 RX modes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- FIFO
|
||
|
|
- mailbox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The older flexcan cores (integrated into the i.MX25, i.MX28, i.MX35
|
||
|
|
and i.MX53 SOCs) only receive RTR frames if the controller is
|
||
|
|
configured for RX-FIFO mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RX FIFO mode uses a hardware FIFO with a depth of 6 CAN frames,
|
||
|
|
while the mailbox mode uses a software FIFO with a depth of up to 62
|
||
|
|
CAN frames. With the help of the bigger buffer, the mailbox mode
|
||
|
|
performs better under high system load situations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As reception of RTR frames is part of the CAN standard, all flexcan
|
||
|
|
cores come up in a mode where RTR reception is possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the "rx-rtr" private flag the ability to receive RTR frames can
|
||
|
|
be waived at the expense of losing the ability to receive RTR
|
||
|
|
messages. This trade off is beneficial in certain use cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"rx-rtr" on
|
||
|
|
Receive RTR frames. (default)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CAN controller can and will receive RTR frames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On some IP cores the controller cannot receive RTR frames in the
|
||
|
|
more performant "RX mailbox" mode and will use "RX FIFO" mode
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"rx-rtr" off
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waive ability to receive RTR frames. (not supported on all IP cores)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This mode activates the "RX mailbox mode" for better performance, on
|
||
|
|
some IP cores RTR frames cannot be received anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The setting can only be changed if the interface is down::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ip link set dev can0 down
|
||
|
|
ethtool --set-priv-flags can0 rx-rtr {off|on}
|
||
|
|
ip link set dev can0 up
|
