CAN Mailbox Area
The full-CAN controller features 32 message buffers, which are called
mailboxes. Eight mailboxes are dedicated for message transmission, eight
are for reception, and 16 are programmable in direction. Accordingly, the
CAN module architecture is based around a 32-entry mailbox RAM. The
mailbox is accessed sequentially by the CAN serial interface or the Black-
fin core. Each mailbox consists of eight 16-bit control and data registers
and two optional 16-bit acceptance mask registers, all of which must be
configured before the mailbox itself is enabled. Since the mailbox area is
implemented as RAM, the reset values of these registers are undefined.
The data is divided into fields, which includes a message identifier, a time
stamp, a byte count, up to 8 bytes of data, and several control bits. See
