By SMARC hardware specification, CAN0 bus error condition signaling
should be supported on the Module GPIO8 ( P116 ) pin. This is an active low
input to the Module from the CAN bus transceiver. CAN1 bus error condition
signaling should be supported on the Module
GPIO9 ( P117 ) pin. This is an
active low input to the Module from the CAN bus transceiver
A CAN transceiver on carrier is necessary to adapt the signals from
SMARC
golden finger edge connector, which is TTL levels, to the physical layer used.
Because the CAN bus system is typically used to connect multiple systems
and is often run over very long distances, both power supply and signal path
must be electrically isolated to meet a certain isolation level. Users can refer
the “
SMARC Carrier Board Hardware Design Guide ” or CAN transceiver
application note such as TI ISO1050 for more details.
