Sammy-C21 CAN errors

dc42

Can you post a photo of how you have wired it?

Which firmware versions are you running on the main board and on the Sammy?

R3D

@dc42 Not sure which version the sammy is running, just used the standard SammyC21-Debug build configuration of the duet 3 expansion project that was linked in the using the Sammy-C21 wiki. the duet 3 is running 3.1.1. Hopefully the pictures aren't too difficult to see how it is wired.

Thanks,

@dc42 Is there somewhere in the source code files that would show the firmware version? or a way to connect to the sammy with the ICE and get it that way? Maybe with a terminal emulator?

@R3D you could run strings on the binary f.ex.?

bearer@rama:~/eclipse/firmware/Duet3Expansion$ strings SAMMYC21/Duet3Firmware_SAMMYC21.bin | grep 2020
3.1.0+ (2020-07-01b3)

(might not be the best grep, but it'll work all year..)

@R3D I wonder whether you have changed the frequency for the sammy?

R3D

@JoergS5 Does the sammy default to a different frequency on the CAN bus? I'm assuming I can just change this via M952.

Thanks,

JoergS5

@R3D I don't know the consequences of wrong frequency.

R3D

Also your link to the post states that the bootloader has the clock multiplier changed in it already, which I did flash to the sammy with the ICE prior to uploading firmware...

JoergS5

@R3D ok, then it would be ok.

i think that is not relevant when building the SAMMYC21 configuration as dc42 has taken care if it all for us.

R3D

I also loaded the firmware binary through the ICE as well, possibly overwriting the bootloader and thus removing the clock multiplier fix?

If I am following this correctly that is.

use the SAMMYC21-Debug build config in that case

R3D

I did, in my previous comments I did specify this.

Thanks,

@R3D maybe you can debug sammy and check can communication. The sammy has a SWD connector (but the pins must be soldered).

R3D

So i have the ICE in the SAMMY with both powered on, I have it connected in atmel studio 7 in the device programming tab, but I am having trouble locating any information regarding the CAN bus.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

It's been over a month since I tested the SammyC21 firmware build. I've just built and loaded the debug build through ICE and I am getting the same issue - no CAN connection. I'll fix this today if i don't run out of time.

dc42

Currently, the release build works (loaded over CAN by the bootloader), but the debug build loaded via the ICE doesn't.

dc42

I've just fixed the SammyC21 debug build and committed the fix to github. The main change was in the .cproject file, and I had to do a clean and then a build to get the change included in the binary.

R3D

Works, Thanks a million @dc42, now on to calibration.
