Message Storage
An overrun condition occurs when both the foreground and the
background receive message buffers are filled with correctly received
messages with accepted identifiers and another message is correctly
received from the bus with an accepted identifier. The latter message is
discarded and an error interrupt with overrun indication is generated if
enabled. The msCAN12 is still able to transmit messages with both
receive message buffers filled, but all incoming messages are
discarded.
NOTE: The msCAN12 will receive its own messages into the background
receive buffer RxBG but will not overwrite RxFG and will not emit a
receive interrupt nor will it acknowledge (ACK) its own messages on the
CAN bus. The exception to this rule is that when in loop-back mode
msCAN12 will treat its own messages exactly like all other incoming
messages.
17.4.3 Transmit Structures
The msCAN12 has a triple transmit buffer scheme in order to allow
multiple messages to be set up in advance and to achieve an optimized
real-time performance. The three buffers are arranged as shown in
Figure 17-2.
All three buffers have a 13 byte data structure similar to the outline of the
receive buffers (see Programmer’s Model of Message Storage). An
additional transmit buffer priority register (TBPR) contains an 8-bit so
called local priority field (PRIO) (see Transmit Buffer Priority Registers
(TBPR)).
In order to transmit a message, the CPU12 has to identify an available
transmit buffer which is indicated by a set transmit buffer empty (TXE)
flag in the msCAN12 transmitter flag register (CTFLG) (see msCAN12
Transmitter Flag Register (CTFLG)).
The CPU12 then stores the identifier, the control bits and the data
content into one of the transmit buffers. Finally, the buffer has to be
flagged as being ready for transmission by clearing the TXE flag.
