Theory of Operation

The CAN controller appears to the microprocessor as an I/O device. Each peripheral has 256 bytes of I/O address space allocated to it. CAN0 and CAN1 share Interrupt 6.

CAN Register Summaries

DSTni contains two independent CAN channels. Operation and access to each device, however, is the same. The only difference is the starting I/O base address for each channel, as shown in Table 5-2.

Both CAN channels have their registers located and fixed in the internal I/O space of the DSTni chip. Both are implemented as true 16-bit devices. Therefore, all accesses made to the CAN channel registers must be 16-bit I/O-type accesses in the I/O space. Byte accesses result in erroneous operation.

Each CAN channel has 62, 16-bit registers. These registers allow for configuration, control, status, and operational data. Table 5-3the 16-bit register mapping for both CAN channels of these registers. The hex offsets shown in the table are offset from the base addresses in Table 5-2.
