CAN FD 7 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a CAN transceiver that supports both CAN and CAN FD protocols. This board features the TCAN1462, an automotive fault-protected CAN FD transceiver from Texas Instruments. It is a high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver that meets the ISO 11898-2:2016 high-speed CAN specification and the CiA 601-4 signal improvement capability (SIC) specification.

We provide a library for the CAN FD 7 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for CAN FD 7 Click driver.
canfd7_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void canfd7_cfg_setup ( canfd7_cfg_t *cfg );
canfd7_init
Initialization function.
err_t canfd7_init ( canfd7_t *ctx, canfd7_cfg_t *cfg );
canfd7_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
void canfd7_default_cfg ( canfd7_t *ctx );
canfd7_generic_write
CAN FD 7 data writing function.
err_t canfd7_generic_write ( canfd7_t *ctx, uint8_t *data_in, uint16_t len )
canfd7_generic_read
CAN FD 7 data reading function.
err_t canfd7_generic_read ( canfd7_t *ctx, uint8_t *data_out, uint16_t len );
canfd7_set_stb_pin
CAN FD 7 set STB pin function.
void canfd7_set_stb_pin ( canfd7_t *ctx, uint8_t pin_state );
This example writes and reads and processes data from CAN FD 7 Click. The library also includes a function for selection of the output polarity.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
canfd7_cfg_t canfd7_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
canfd7_cfg_setup( &canfd7_cfg );
CANFD7_MAP_MIKROBUS( canfd7_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( UART_ERROR == canfd7_init( &canfd7, &canfd7_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
canfd7_default_cfg ( &canfd7 );
#ifdef DEMO_APP_TRANSMITTER
log_info( &logger, "---- Transmitter mode ----" );
#else
log_info( &logger, "---- Receiver mode ----" );
#endif
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
This example contains Transmitter/Receiver task depending on uncommented code. Receiver logs each received byte to the UART for data logging, while the transmitter sends messages every 2 seconds.
void application_task ( void )
{
#ifdef DEMO_APP_TRANSMITTER
canfd7_generic_write( &canfd7, TX_MESSAGE, strlen( TX_MESSAGE ) );
log_info( &logger, "---- Data sent ----" );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
#else
canfd7_process( &canfd7 );
#endif
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.CANFD7
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
