0010 FULL: MB is full. 0010 The act of reading the Control and Status word 
followed by unlocking the MB does not make 
the code return to EMPTY. It remains FULL. If a 
new frame is written to the MB after the Control 
and Status word was read and the MB was 
unlocked, the code still remains FULL.
0110 If the MB is FULL and a new frame is 
overwritten to this MB before the CPU had time 
to read it, the code is automatically updated to 
OVERRUN. Refer to 
Section 18.4.5, Matching 
process for details about overrun behavior.
0110 OVERRUN: a frame was 
overwritten into a full buffer.
0010 If the code indicates OVERRUN but the CPU 
reads the Control and Status word and then 
unlocks the MB, when a new frame is written to 
the MB the code returns to FULL.
0110 If the code already indicates OVERRUN, and 
yet another new frame must be written, the MB 
will be overwritten again, and the code will 
remain OVERRUN. Refer to 
Section 18.4.5, 
Matching process for details about overrun 
behavior.

BUSY: Flexcan is updating the 
contents of the MB. The CPU 
must not access the MB.
0010 An EMPTY buffer was written with a new frame 
(XY was 01).
0110 A FULL/OVERRUN buffer was overwritten (XY 
was 11).

Note that for Tx MBs (see Ta ble 18-6), the BUSY bit should be ignored upon read, except when AEN bit is set in 
the MCR register.

Description
X 1000 — INACTIVE: MB does not participate in the arbitration process.
X 1001 — ABORT: MB was configured as Tx and CPU aborted the 
transmission. This code is only valid when AEN bit in MCR is 
asserted. MB does not participate in the arbitration process.
0 1100 1000 Transmit data frame unconditionally once. After transmission, the 
MB automatically returns to the INACTIVE state.
1 1100 0100 Transmit remote frame unconditionally once. After transmission, 
the MB automatically becomes an Rx MB with the same ID.
