CAN bit timing register (CAN_BTR)
Address offset: 0x1C
Reset value: 0x0123 0000
This register can only be accessed by the software when the CAN hardware is in
initialization mode.
Bits 31:24 REC[7:0]: Receive error counter
The implementing part of the fault confinement mechanism of the CAN protocol. In case of
an error during reception, this counter is incremented by 1 or by 8 depending on the error
condition as defined by the CAN standard. After every successful reception the counter is
decremented by 1 or reset to 120 if its value was higher than 128. When the counter value
exceeds 127, the CAN controller enters the error passive state.
Bits 23:16 TEC[7:0]
: Least significant byte of the 9-bit transmit error counter
The implementing part of the fault confinement mechanism of the CAN protocol.
Bits 15:7 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 6:4 LEC[2:0]
: Last error code
This field is set by hardware and holds a code which indicates the error condition of the last
error detected on the CAN bus. If a message has been transferred (reception or
transmission) without error, this field will be cleared to ‘0’.
The LEC[2:0] bits can be set to value 0b111 by software. They are updated by hardware to
indicate the current communication status.
000: No Error
001: Stuff Error
010: Form Error
011: Acknowledgment Error
100: Bit recessive Error
101: Bit dominant Error
110: CRC Error
111: Set by software
Bit 3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 2 BOFF
: Bus-off flag
This bit is set by hardware when it enters the bus-off state. The bus-off state is entered on
TEC overflow, greater than 255, refer to Section 42.7.6 on page 1466.
Bit 1 EPVF: Error passive flag
This bit is set by hardware when the Error Passive limit has been reached (Receive Error
Counter or Transmit Error Counter>127).
Bit 0 EWGF
: Error warning flag
This bit is set by hardware when the warning limit has been reached
(Receive Error Counter or Transmit Error Counter≥96).
