15.3.10 Configuring a Receive Message Object
The following steps illustrate how to configure a receive message object.
1. Program the CAN IFn Command Mask (CANIFnCMASK) register as described in the
“Configuring a Transmit Message Object” on page 555 section, except that the WRNRD bit is set
to specify a write to the message RAM.
2. Program the CANIFnMSK1and CANIFnMSK2 registers as described in the “Configuring a
Transmit Message Object” on page 555 section to configure which bits are used for acceptance
filtering. Note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering, they must be enabled
by setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
3. In the CANIFnMSK2 register, use the MSK[12:0] bits to specify which of the bits in the 29-bit
or 11-bit message identifier are used for acceptance filtering. Note that MSK[12:0] are used
for bits [28:16] of the 29-bit message identifier; whereas MSK[12:2] are used for bits [10:0] of
the 11-bit message identifier. Use the MXTD and MDIR bits to specify whether to use XTD and
DIR for acceptance filtering. A value of 0x00 enables all messages to pass through the
acceptance filtering. Also note that in order for these bits to be used for acceptance filtering,
they must be enabled by setting the UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register.
4. Program the CANIFnARB1 and CANIFnARB2 registers as described in the “Configuring a
Transmit Message Object” on page 555 section to program XTD and ID bits for the message
identifier to be received; set the MSGVAL bit to indicate a valid message; and clear the DIR bit
to specify receive.
5. In the CANIFnMCTL register:
■ Optionally set the UMASK bit to enable the mask (MSK, MXTD, and MDIR specified in the
CANIFnMSK1 and CANIFnMSK2 registers) for acceptance filtering
■ Optionally set the RXIE bit to enable the INTPND bit to be set after a successful reception
■ Clear the RMTEN bit to leave the TXRQST bit unchanged
■ Set the EOB bit for a single message object
■ Set the DLC[3:0] field to specify the size of the data frame
Take care during this configuration not to set the NEWDAT, MSGLST, INTPND or TXRQST bits.
6. Program the number of the message object to be received in the MNUM field in the CAN IFn
Command Request (CANIFnCRQ) register. Reception of the message object begins as soon
as a matching frame is available on the CAN bus.
When the message handler stores a data frame in the message object, it stores the received Data
Length Code and eight data bytes in the CANIFnDA1, CANIFnDA2, CANIFnDB1, and CANIFnDB2
register. Byte 0 of the CAN data frame is stored in DATA[7:0] in the CANIFnDA1 register. If the
Data Length Code is less than 8, the remaining bytes of the message object are overwritten by
unspecified values.
The CAN mask registers can be used to allow groups of data frames to be received by a message
object. The CAN mask registers, CANIFnMSKn, configure which groups of frames are received by
a message object. The UMASK bit in the CANIFnMCTL register enables the MSK bits in the
