34.6.5.3 Dedicated Rx Buffers
The CAN supports up to 64 dedicated Rx Buffers. The start address of the dedicated Rx Buffer section is configured via RXBC.RBSA.
For each Rx Buffer a Standard or Extended Message ID Filter Element with SFEC / EFEC = “111” and SFID2 / EFID2[10:9] = “00” has to be configured (see 34.9.5 Standard Message ID Filter Element and 34.9.6 Extended Message ID Filter Element).
After a received message has been accepted by a filter element, the message is stored into the Rx Buffer in the Message RAM referenced by the filter element. The format is the same as for an Rx FIFO element. In addition the flag IR.DRX (Message stored in Dedicated Rx Buffer) in the interrupt register is set.
| Filter Element | SFID1[10:0] / EFID1[28:0] | SFID2[10:9] / EFID2[10:9] | SFID2[5:0] / EFID2[5:0] |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | ID message 1 | 00 | 00 0000 |
| 1 | ID message 2 | 00 | 00 0001 |
| 2 | ID message 3 | 00 | 00 0010 |
After the last word of a matching received message has been written to the Message RAM, the respective New Data flag in register NDAT1, NDAT2 is set. As long as the New Data flag is set, the respective Rx Buffer is locked against updates from received matching frames. The New Data flags have to be reset by the CPU by writing a ‘1’ to the respective bit position.
While an Rx Buffer’s New Data flag is set, a Message ID Filter Element referencing this specific Rx Buffer will not match, causing the acceptance filtering to continue. Following Message ID Filter Elements may cause the received message to be stored into another Rx Buffer, or into an Rx FIFO, or the message may be rejected, depending on filter configuration.
Rx Buffer Handling
- Reset interrupt flag IR.DRX
- Read New Data registers
- Read messages from Message RAM
- Reset New Data flags of processed messages
