Detailed Description

The VMXCAN class provides a hardware-abstraction of the VMX-pi CAN functionality.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ VMXCANMode

enum VMXCAN::VMXCANMode

Enumeration of VMX CAN operational modes.

Enumerator
VMXCAN_OFF	Places the CAN Transceiver/Controller into a sleep state, which may be automatically woken from if CAN Bus activity is later detected.
VMXCAN_CONFIG	Places the CAN Controller into configuration mode, during which the Receive Masks/ Fiters may be modified.
VMXCAN_NORMAL	Places the CAN Controller into normal mode, where it may transmit messages onto the CAN Bus, and may receive messages from the CAN Bus. All Receive Masks/Filters which have previously been configured are active and will be used to filter the reception of transmitted messages.
VMXCAN_LISTEN	Places the CAN Controller into a listen-only mode where it passively listens to the CAN Bus. Note that all Receive Masks/Filters which have previously been configured will be ignored during this mode.
VMXCAN_LOOPBACK	Places the CAN Controller into a mode where transmitted messages are looped back internally to the Receive circuitry. During this mode, the Transceiver is completely disconnected from the CAN Bus. Note that during this mode, all Receive Masks/Filters which have previously been configured are active and will be used to filter the reception of transmitted messages.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ClearErrors()

bool VMXCAN::ClearErrors ( VMXErrorCode * errcode = 0 )

If any VMX CAN errors are reported by the firmware, they are cleared.

All VMX CAN errors are transient ~except~ the HW RX Overflow condition. If this condition exists, this method will clear it.

Parameters

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if any CAN errors were cleared. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ CloseReceiveStream()

bool VMXCAN::CloseReceiveStream	(	VMXCANReceiveStreamHandle	streamid,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Closes a previously-opened CAN Receive Stream, and releases any HW Filter Resources, if any.

Parameters

	streamid	Handle of VMXCANReceiveStream to close
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN Receive stream was closed. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ FlushRxFIFO()

bool VMXCAN::FlushRxFIFO ( VMXErrorCode * errcode = 0 )

Empty the VMX CAN receive buffer.

Parameters

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN receive buffer was flushed. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ FlushTxFIFO()

bool VMXCAN::FlushTxFIFO ( VMXErrorCode * errcode = 0 )

Empty the VMX CAN transmit buffer.

Parameters

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN transmit buffer was flushed. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ GetCANBUSStatus()

bool VMXCAN::GetCANBUSStatus	(	VMXCANBusStatus &	bus_status,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Retrieve the current CAN Bus status and statistics.

Parameters

[out]	bus_status	The current status/statistics, returned by this method.
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN Bus status was retrieved If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ GetMode()

bool VMXCAN::GetMode	(	VMXCANMode &	mode,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Retreieve the current VMX CAN Transceiver/Controller mode.

Parameters

[out]	mode	The current mode.
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN mode was retrieved. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ OpenReceiveStream()

bool VMXCAN::OpenReceiveStream	(	VMXCANReceiveStreamHandle &	session_handle,
		uint32_t	messageID,
		uint32_t	messageMask,
		uint32_t	maxMessages,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Opens a new CAN receive stream.

Parameters

	session_handle	A handle to the newly-created stream
	messageID	The CAN message ID to receive messages from
	messageMask	The CAN message mask to receive messages from
	maxMessages	The maximum number of received messages held within the stream
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN receive stream was created. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ ReadReceiveStream()

bool VMXCAN::ReadReceiveStream	(	VMXCANReceiveStreamHandle	streamid,
		VMXCANTimestampedMessage *	messages,
		uint32_t	messagesToRead,
		uint32_t &	messagesRead,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Reads CAN messages which were recently received by the receive stream.

Parameters

	streamid	Handle to the CAN receive stream to read messages from
[out]	messages	Buffer to read received messages into
	messagesToRead	The maximum number of messages to read into the memory pointed to by the messages parameter
[out]	messagesRead	The actual number of messages read into the memory pointed to by the messages parameter
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if no errors were encountered while reading messages from the stream. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ Reset()

bool VMXCAN::Reset ( VMXErrorCode * errcode = 0 )

Reset the VMX CAN Transceiver and Protocol Controller.

Note this method will block for 10ms after resetting the controller.

Parameters

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the CAN Bus Transceiver/Controller was reset. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ RetrieveAllCANData()

bool VMXCAN::RetrieveAllCANData ( VMXErrorCode * errcode = 0 )

Retrieve the recently-received CAN Bus messages from the VMX CAN receivequeue.

Received messages are place into the receive stream queue whose messageID filter matches each message.

Parameters

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if no errors were encountered while retrieving CAN data. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ SendMessage()

bool VMXCAN::SendMessage	(	VMXCANMessage &	msg,
		int32_t	periodMs,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Enqueues the CAN message for transmission onto the CAN bus to which the VMX device is currently connected.

Parameters

	msg	The message to be transmitted at the ID specified within the message.
	periodMs	If non-zero, the message is periodically retransmitted after this number of milliseconds.
[out]	errcode	Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns: Returns true if the message succesfully enqueued for transfer. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.

◆ SetMode()

bool VMXCAN::SetMode	(	VMXCANMode	mode,
		VMXErrorCode *	errcode = `0`
	)

Set the VMX CAN Protocol Transceiver/Protocol Controller Mode:

VMXCAN_OFF: The transceiver is disconnected from the CAN bus, and cannot receive or transmit messages.
VMXCAN_CONFIG: The protocol controller is ready to receive configuration changes (to the current hardware receive filters)
VMXCAN_NORMAL: The transceiver is connected to the CAN bus, and can receive and transmit messages.
VMXCAN_LISTEN: The transceiver is connected to the CAN bus, and can only receive messages. Note that messages will be received even if errors (e.g., CRC errors) are detected. In this mode, a high number of messages can be received; this mode is not recommended for normal use.
VMXCAN_LOOPBACK: The transceiver is disconnected from the CAN bus, and the TX signal is connected internally to the RX signal. This mode is useful for debugging/testing CAN protocol-related software.
Parameters

mode The requested CAN mode

[out] errcode Pointer to the VMXErrorCode to be returned in case of error; may be null

Returns
Returns true if the CAN mode was changed. If false, the error code will be returned via the errcode parameter.
