Hardware and Software Resets

The HCAN can be reset by a hardware reset or software reset.
• Hardware Reset
At power-on reset, or in hardware or software standby mode, the HCAN is initialized by
automatically setting the MCR reset request bit (MCR0) in MCR and the reset state bit (GSR3)
in GSR. At the same time, all internal registers, except for message control and message data
registers, are initialized by a hardware reset.
• Software Reset
The HCAN can be reset by setting the MCR reset request bit (MCR0) in MCR via software. In
a software reset, the error counters (TEC and REC) are initialized, however other registers are
not. If the MCR0 bit is set while the CAN controller is performing a communication operation
(transmission or reception), the initialization state is not entered until message transfer has
been completed. The reset status bit (GSR3) in GSR is set on completion of initialization.
15.4.2

Initialization after Hardware Reset

After a hardware reset, the following initialization processing should be carried out:
1. Clearing of IRR0 bit in the interrupt register (IRR)
2. Bit rate setting
3. Mailbox transmit/receive settings
4. Mailbox (RAM) initialization
5. Message transmission method setting
These initial settings must be made while the HCAN is in bit configuration mode. Configuration
mode is a state in which the GSR3 bit in GSR is set to 1 by a reset. Configuration mode is exited
by clearing the MCR0 bit in MCR to 0; when the MCR0 bit is cleared to 0, the HCAN
automatically clears the GSR3 bit in GSR. There is a delay between clearing the MCR0 bit and
clearing the GSR3 bit because the HCAN needs time to be internally reset, there is a delay
between clearing of the MCR0 bit and GSR3 bit. After the HCAN exits configuration mode, the
power-up sequence begins, and communication with the CAN bus is possible as soon as 11
consecutive recessive bits have been detected.
