    Chapter 6 Software Installation and Programming Guide 6.1. CAN bus 6.1.1 Overview The CAN bus APIs provide interfaces to CAN bus subsystem. By invoking these APIs, programmers can implement the applications which have the functions listed below: Set the BAUD rate. Send the CAN packages over the CAN bus.
  • Page 48 To transmit a CAN packet, the programmer has to fill in the fields in the variable of type CanMsg and pass this CanMsg variable as an argument to invoke the APIs. The fields in CAN message are described below: This field holds the ID information of the CAN packet. In a ‘Standard Data Frame’ CAN packet, the ID field consists of 11 bits of binary digitals.

    Appendix A Users have to modify the boot loader configuration to support COM6. Take the grub configuration file as an example. Add ‘8250.nr_uarts=XX noirqdebug’ at the setting of kernel. Here, XX represents the number of COM ports the system will support. Because the power subsystem connects to main system via COM6, the XX must be greater or equal to 6.
