[ECOS] CAN-problems

[ECOS] CAN-problems

[Peter Last NameHuszar]

I have just started to use eCOS for an Olimex LCP-H2294.
The basic setup works, I could flash led as a thread, using Redboot ROM monitor,
but ran into problem when adding CAN support.

I modified the ecos.db to include the generic CAN device driver and the LPC2xxx
specific CAN device driver.

First of all, in "I/O subsystem/CAN device drivers/Philips LPC2xxx CAN.."
set up the  "Allow Access to the on-chip CAN 0 .." is selected, but grey.

More importantly some defines are not set properly e.g. CYGINT_IO_CAN_CHANNELS
does not seem to have the proper count.

Since I am a novice with eCOS, I might be doing something simple the wrong way.

I have not found any solution for my problem in the archives. Would appreciate some
 help.

Rgds,

Peter

Take a look at:
 packages/hal/arm/lpc24xx/ea2468/current/cdl/hal_arm_lpc24xx_ea2468.cdl

See how it has statements:

    implements    CYGINT_DEVS_CAN_LPC2XXX_CAN0
    implements    CYGINT_DEVS_CAN_LPC2XXX_CAN1


You need something similar in the Olimex LCP-H2294 HAL so that the CAN
device driver knows which CAN devices the chip supports.
