Chapter 16: LPC176x/5x CAN1/2
receive interrupt whenever a CAN message is accepted and received. Software has to 
move the received message out of the receive buffer from the according CAN controller 
into the user RAM.
To cover dashboard like applications where the controller typically receives data from 
several CAN channels for further processing, the CAN Gateway block was extended by a 
so-called FullCAN receive function. This additional feature uses an internal message 
handler to move received FullCAN messages from the receive buffer of the according 
CAN controller into the FullCAN message object data space of Look-up Table RAM.
When FullCAN mode is enabled, the Acceptance Filter itself takes care of receiving and 
storing messages for selected Standard ID values on selected CAN buses, in the style of 
“FullCAN” controllers.
In order to set this bit and use this mode, two other conditions must be met with respect to 
the contents of Acceptance Filter RAM and the pointers into it: 
• The Standard Frame Individual Start Address Register (SFF_sa) must be greater than 
or equal to the number of IDs for which automatic receive storage is to be done, times 
two. SFF_sa must be rounded up to a multiple of 4 if necessary.
• The EndOfTable register must be less than or equal to 0x800 minus 6 times the 
SFF_sa value, to allow 12 bytes of message storage for each ID for which automatic 
receive storage will be done.
When these conditions are met and eFCAN is set:
• The area between the start of Acceptance Filter RAM and the SFF_sa address, is 
used for a table of individual Standard IDs and CAN Controller/bus identification, 
sorted in ascending order and in the same format as in the Individual Standard ID 
table (see Figure 58 “
Entry in FullCAN and individual standard identifier tables” on 
page 376). Entries can be marked as “disabled” as in the other Standard tables. If 
there are an odd number of “FullCAN” ID’s, at least one entry in this table must be so 
marked.
• The first (SFF_sa)/2 IDindex values are assigned to these automatically-stored ID’s. 
That is, IDindex values stored in the Rx Frame Status Register, for IDs not handled in 
this way, are increased by (SFF_sa)/2 compared to the values they would have when 
eFCAN is 0.
• When a Standard ID is received, the Acceptance Filter searches this table before the 
Standard Individual and Group tables.
• When a message is received for a controller and ID in this table, the Acceptance filter 
reads the received message out of the CAN controller and stores it in Acceptance 
Filter RAM, starting at (EndOfTable) + its IDindex*12. 
• The format of such messages is shown in Table 353.
