11.3 CAN Controller Configuration

The CAN Controller instance is accessed from the MSS configurator. Depending on the application, the CAN instance gets enabled or disabled (default) from the MSS. When disabled, the CAN instance is held in reset (lowest power state). When enabled, by default, the CAN ports are configured to connect to the CAN allocated device MSIO CAN ports.

Important: The MSIOs allocated to the CAN instance are shared with other MSS peripherals. These shared I/Os are available to connect to the MSS GPIOs.

Connecting the CAN ports to the allocated CAN MSIOs or fabric or both is done in the CAN Configurator. The following figure shows the advanced options in the Configuration window that provides the option to enable extra connectivity between the MSIOs and fabric or GPIOs (or both fabric and GPIOs).
