CAN Register Definitions
TX Message Registers
To avoid priority inversion issues in the transmit path, three transmit buffers are available with a
uP Bus

Sending a Message
The following sequence describes how to send a message.
1.Write message into one of the Transmit Message Holding registers TxMessage0/1/2).
2.Request transmission by setting the respective TRX flag. This flag remains set as long as the message holding registers contains this message. The content of the message buffer must not be changed while the TRX flag is set.
3.The TRX flags remain set as long as the message transmit request is pending.
4.The successful transfer of a message is indicated by the respective tx_xfer interrupt and by releasing the TRX flag. Depending on the tx_level configuration settings, an additional interrupt source tx_msg is available to indicate that the Message Holding registers are empty or below a certain level.
Removing a Message from a Transmit Holding Register
A message can be removed from one of the three Transmit Holding registers (TxMessage0/1/2) by setting the TxAbort flag. Use following procedure to remove the contents of a particular TxMessage buffer:
5.Set TxAbort to request the message removal.
6.This flag remains set as long as the message abort request is pending. It is cleared when either the message won arbitration (tx_xmit interrupt active) or the message was removed (tx_xmit interrupt inactive).
