+can327: ELM327 driver for Linux SocketCAN
+==========================================
+
+Authors
+--------
+
+Max Staudt <max@enpas.org>
+
+
+
+Motivation
+-----------
+
+This driver aims to lower the initial cost for hackers interested in
+working with CAN buses.
+
+CAN adapters are expensive, few, and far between.
+ELM327 interfaces are cheap and plentiful.
+Let's use ELM327s as CAN adapters.
+
+
+
+Introduction
+-------------
+
+This driver is an effort to turn abundant ELM327 based OBD interfaces
+into full fledged (as far as possible) CAN interfaces.
+
+Since the ELM327 was never meant to be a stand alone CAN controller,
+the driver has to switch between its modes as quickly as possible in
+order to fake full-duplex operation.
+
+As such, can327 is a best effort driver. However, this is more than
+enough to implement simple request-response protocols (such as OBD II),
+and to monitor broadcast messages on a bus (such as in a vehicle).
+
+Most ELM327s come as nondescript serial devices, attached via USB or
+Bluetooth. The driver cannot recognize them by itself, and as such it
+is up to the user to attach it in form of a TTY line discipline
+(similar to PPP, SLIP, slcan, ...).
+
+This driver is meant for ELM327 versions 1.4b and up, see below for
+known limitations in older controllers and clones.
+
+
+
+Data sheet
+-----------
+
+The official data sheets can be found at ELM electronics' home page:
+
+ https://www.elmelectronics.com/
+
+
+
+How to attach the line discipline
+----------------------------------
+
+Every ELM327 chip is factory programmed to operate at a serial setting
+of 38400 baud/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stopbit.
+
+If you have kept this default configuration, the line discipline can
+be attached on a command prompt as follows::
+
+ sudo ldattach \
+ --debug \
+ --speed 38400 \
+ --eightbits \
+ --noparity \
+ --onestopbit \
+ --iflag -ICRNL,INLCR,-IXOFF \
+ 30 \
+ /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+To change the ELM327's serial settings, please refer to its data
+sheet. This needs to be done before attaching the line discipline.
+
+Once the ldisc is attached, the CAN interface starts out unconfigured.
+Set the speed before starting it::
+
+ # The interface needs to be down to change parameters
+ sudo ip link set can0 down
+ sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000
+ sudo ip link set can0 up
+
+500000 bit/s is a common rate for OBD-II diagnostics.
+If you're connecting straight to a car's OBD port, this is the speed
+that most cars (but not all!) expect.
+
+After this, you can set out as usual with candump, cansniffer, etc.
+
+
+
+How to check the controller version
+------------------------------------
+
+Use a terminal program to attach to the controller.
+
+After issuing the "``AT WS``" command, the controller will respond with
+its version::
+
+ >AT WS
+
+
+ ELM327 v1.4b
+
+ >
+
+Note that clones may claim to be any version they like.
+It is not indicative of their actual feature set.
+
+
+
+
+Communication example
+----------------------
+
+This is a short and incomplete introduction on how to talk to an ELM327.
+It is here to guide understanding of the controller's and the driver's
+limitation (listed below) as well as manual testing.
+
+
+The ELM327 has two modes:
+
+- Command mode
+- Reception mode
+
+In command mode, it expects one command per line, terminated by CR.
+By default, the prompt is a "``>``", after which a command can be
+entered::
+
+ >ATE1
+ OK
+ >
+
+The init script in the driver switches off several configuration options
+that are only meaningful in the original OBD scenario the chip is meant
+for, and are actually a hindrance for can327.
+
+
+When a command is not recognized, such as by an older version of the
+ELM327, a question mark is printed as a response instead of OK::
+
+ >ATUNKNOWN
+ ?
+ >
+
+At present, can327 does not evaluate this response. See the section
+below on known limitations for details.
+
+
+When a CAN frame is to be sent, the target address is configured, after
+which the frame is sent as a command that consists of the data's hex
+dump::
+
+ >ATSH123
+ OK
+ >DEADBEEF12345678
+ OK
+ >
+
+The above interaction sends the SFF frame "``DE AD BE EF 12 34 56 78``"
+with (11 bit) CAN ID ``0x123``.
+For this to function, the controller must be configured for SFF sending
+mode (using "``AT PB``", see code or datasheet).
+
+
+Once a frame has been sent and wait-for-reply mode is on (``ATR1``,
+configured on ``listen-only=off``), or when the reply timeout expires
+and the driver sets the controller into monitoring mode (``ATMA``),
+the ELM327 will send one line for each received CAN frame, consisting
+of CAN ID, DLC, and data::
+
+ 123 8 DEADBEEF12345678
+
+For EFF (29 bit) CAN frames, the address format is slightly different,
+which can327 uses to tell the two apart::
+
+ 12 34 56 78 8 DEADBEEF12345678
+
+The ELM327 will receive both SFF and EFF frames - the current CAN
+config (``ATPB``) does not matter.
+
+
+If the ELM327's internal UART sending buffer runs full, it will abort
+the monitoring mode, print "BUFFER FULL" and drop back into command
+mode. Note that in this case, unlike with other error messages, the
+error message may appear on the same line as the last (usually
+incomplete) data frame::
+
+ 12 34 56 78 8 DEADBEEF123 BUFFER FULL
+
+
+
+Known limitations of the controller
+------------------------------------
+
+- Clone devices ("v1.5" and others)
+
+ Sending RTR frames is not supported and will be dropped silently.
+
+ Receiving RTR with DLC 8 will appear to be a regular frame with
+ the last received frame's DLC and payload.
+
+ "``AT CSM``" (CAN Silent Monitoring, i.e. don't send CAN ACKs) is
+ not supported, and is hard coded to ON. Thus, frames are not ACKed
+ while listening: "``AT MA``" (Monitor All) will always be "silent".
+ However, immediately after sending a frame, the ELM327 will be in
+ "receive reply" mode, in which it *does* ACK any received frames.
+ Once the bus goes silent, or an error occurs (such as BUFFER FULL),
+ or the receive reply timeout runs out, the ELM327 will end reply
+ reception mode on its own and can327 will fall back to "``AT MA``"
+ in order to keep monitoring the bus.
+
+ Other limitations may apply, depending on the clone and the quality
+ of its firmware.
+
+
+- All versions
+
+ No full duplex operation is supported. The driver will switch
+ between input/output mode as quickly as possible.
+
+ The length of outgoing RTR frames cannot be set. In fact, some
+ clones (tested with one identifying as "``v1.5``") are unable to
+ send RTR frames at all.
+
+ We don't have a way to get real-time notifications on CAN errors.
+ While there is a command (``AT CS``) to retrieve some basic stats,
+ we don't poll it as it would force us to interrupt reception mode.
+
+
+- Versions prior to 1.4b
+
+ These versions do not send CAN ACKs when in monitoring mode (AT MA).
+ However, they do send ACKs while waiting for a reply immediately
+ after sending a frame. The driver maximizes this time to make the
+ controller as useful as possible.
+
+ Starting with version 1.4b, the ELM327 supports the "``AT CSM``"
+ command, and the "listen-only" CAN option will take effect.
+
+
+- Versions prior to 1.4
+
+ These chips do not support the "``AT PB``" command, and thus cannot
+ change bitrate or SFF/EFF mode on-the-fly. This will have to be
+ programmed by the user before attaching the line discipline. See the
+ data sheet for details.
+
+
+- Versions prior to 1.3
+
+ These chips cannot be used at all with can327. They do not support
+ the "``AT D1``" command, which is necessary to avoid parsing conflicts
+ on incoming data, as well as distinction of RTR frame lengths.
+
+ Specifically, this allows for easy distinction of SFF and EFF
+ frames, and to check whether frames are complete. While it is possible
+ to deduce the type and length from the length of the line the ELM327
+ sends us, this method fails when the ELM327's UART output buffer
+ overruns. It may abort sending in the middle of the line, which will
+ then be mistaken for something else.
+
+
+
+Known limitations of the driver
+--------------------------------
+
+- No 8/7 timing.
+
+ ELM327 can only set CAN bitrates that are of the form 500000/n, where
+ n is an integer divisor.
+ However there is an exception: With a separate flag, it may set the
+ speed to be 8/7 of the speed indicated by the divisor.
+ This mode is not currently implemented.
+
+- No evaluation of command responses.
+
+ The ELM327 will reply with OK when a command is understood, and with ?
+ when it is not. The driver does not currently check this, and simply
+ assumes that the chip understands every command.
+ The driver is built such that functionality degrades gracefully
+ nevertheless. See the section on known limitations of the controller.
+
+- No use of hardware CAN ID filtering
+
+ An ELM327's UART sending buffer will easily overflow on heavy CAN bus
+ load, resulting in the "``BUFFER FULL``" message. Using the hardware
+ filters available through "``AT CF xxx``" and "``AT CM xxx``" would be
+ helpful here, however SocketCAN does not currently provide a facility
+ to make use of such hardware features.
+
+
+
+Rationale behind the chosen configuration
+------------------------------------------
+
+``AT E1``
+ Echo on
+
+ We need this to be able to get a prompt reliably.
+
+``AT S1``
+ Spaces on
+
+ We need this to distinguish 11/29 bit CAN addresses received.
+
+ Note:
+ We can usually do this using the line length (odd/even),
+ but this fails if the line is not transmitted fully to
+ the host (BUFFER FULL).
+
+``AT D1``
+ DLC on
+
+ We need this to tell the "length" of RTR frames.
+
+
+
+A note on CAN bus termination
+------------------------------
+
+Your adapter may have resistors soldered in which are meant to terminate
+the bus. This is correct when it is plugged into a OBD-II socket, but
+not helpful when trying to tap into the middle of an existing CAN bus.
+
+If communications don't work with the adapter connected, check for the
+termination resistors on its PCB and try removing them.

+CTU CAN FD Driver
+=================
+
+Author: Martin Jerabek <martin.jerabek01@gmail.com>
+
+
+About CTU CAN FD IP Core
+------------------------
+
+`CTU CAN FD <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/ctucanfd_ip_core>`_
+is an open source soft core written in VHDL.
+It originated in 2015 as Ondrej Ille's project
+at the `Department of Measurement <https://meas.fel.cvut.cz/>`_
+of `FEE <http://www.fel.cvut.cz/en/>`_ at `CTU <https://www.cvut.cz/en>`_.
+
+The SocketCAN driver for Xilinx Zynq SoC based MicroZed board
+`Vivado integration <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/zynq/zynq-can-sja1000-top>`_
+and Intel Cyclone V 5CSEMA4U23C6 based DE0-Nano-SoC Terasic board
+`QSys integration <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/intel-soc-ctucanfd>`_
+has been developed as well as support for
+`PCIe integration <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/pcie-ctucanfd>`_ of the core.
+
+In the case of Zynq, the core is connected via the APB system bus, which does
+not have enumeration support, and the device must be specified in Device Tree.
+This kind of devices is called platform device in the kernel and is
+handled by a platform device driver.
+
+The basic functional model of the CTU CAN FD peripheral has been
+accepted into QEMU mainline. See QEMU `CAN emulation support <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/can.html>`_
+for CAN FD buses, host connection and CTU CAN FD core emulation. The development
+version of emulation support can be cloned from ctu-canfd branch of QEMU local
+development `repository <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/qemu-canbus>`_.
+
+
+About SocketCAN
+---------------
+
+SocketCAN is a standard common interface for CAN devices in the Linux
+kernel. As the name suggests, the bus is accessed via sockets, similarly
+to common network devices. The reasoning behind this is in depth
+described in `Linux SocketCAN <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/can.html>`_.
+In short, it offers a
+natural way to implement and work with higher layer protocols over CAN,
+in the same way as, e.g., UDP/IP over Ethernet.
+
+Device probe
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Before going into detail about the structure of a CAN bus device driver,
+let's reiterate how the kernel gets to know about the device at all.
+Some buses, like PCI or PCIe, support device enumeration. That is, when
+the system boots, it discovers all the devices on the bus and reads
+their configuration. The kernel identifies the device via its vendor ID
+and device ID, and if there is a driver registered for this identifier
+combination, its probe method is invoked to populate the driver's
+instance for the given hardware. A similar situation goes with USB, only
+it allows for device hot-plug.
+
+The situation is different for peripherals which are directly embedded
+in the SoC and connected to an internal system bus (AXI, APB, Avalon,
+and others). These buses do not support enumeration, and thus the kernel
+has to learn about the devices from elsewhere. This is exactly what the
+Device Tree was made for.
+
+Device tree
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+An entry in device tree states that a device exists in the system, how
+it is reachable (on which bus it resides) and its configuration –
+registers address, interrupts and so on. An example of such a device
+tree is given in .
+
+::
+
+ / {
+ /* ... */
+ amba: amba {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "simple-bus";
+
+ CTU_CAN_FD_0: CTU_CAN_FD@43c30000 {
+ compatible = "ctu,ctucanfd";
+ interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
+ interrupts = <0 30 4>;
+ clocks = <&clkc 15>;
+ reg = <0x43c30000 0x10000>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+
+.. _sec:socketcan:drv:
+
+Driver structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The driver can be divided into two parts – platform-dependent device
+discovery and set up, and platform-independent CAN network device
+implementation.
+
+.. _sec:socketcan:platdev:
+
+Platform device driver
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the case of Zynq, the core is connected via the AXI system bus, which
+does not have enumeration support, and the device must be specified in
+Device Tree. This kind of devices is called *platform device* in the
+kernel and is handled by a *platform device driver*\ [1]_.
+
+A platform device driver provides the following things:
+
+- A *probe* function
+
+- A *remove* function
+
+- A table of *compatible* devices that the driver can handle
+
+The *probe* function is called exactly once when the device appears (or
+the driver is loaded, whichever happens later). If there are more
+devices handled by the same driver, the *probe* function is called for
+each one of them. Its role is to allocate and initialize resources
+required for handling the device, as well as set up low-level functions
+for the platform-independent layer, e.g., *read_reg* and *write_reg*.
+After that, the driver registers the device to a higher layer, in our
+case as a *network device*.
+
+The *remove* function is called when the device disappears, or the
+driver is about to be unloaded. It serves to free the resources
+allocated in *probe* and to unregister the device from higher layers.
+
+Finally, the table of *compatible* devices states which devices the
+driver can handle. The Device Tree entry ``compatible`` is matched
+against the tables of all *platform drivers*.
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ /* Match table for OF platform binding */
+ static const struct of_device_id ctucan_of_match[] = {
+ { .compatible = "ctu,canfd-2", },
+ { .compatible = "ctu,ctucanfd", },
+ { /* end of list */ },
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ctucan_of_match);
+
+ static int ctucan_probe(struct platform_device *pdev);
+ static int ctucan_remove(struct platform_device *pdev);
+
+ static struct platform_driver ctucanfd_driver = {
+ .probe = ctucan_probe,
+ .remove = ctucan_remove,
+ .driver = {
+ .name = DRIVER_NAME,
+ .of_match_table = ctucan_of_match,
+ },
+ };
+ module_platform_driver(ctucanfd_driver);
+
+
+.. _sec:socketcan:netdev:
+
+Network device driver
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each network device must support at least these operations:
+
+- Bring the device up: ``ndo_open``
+
+- Bring the device down: ``ndo_close``
+
+- Submit TX frames to the device: ``ndo_start_xmit``
+
+- Signal TX completion and errors to the network subsystem: ISR
+
+- Submit RX frames to the network subsystem: ISR and NAPI
+
+There are two possible event sources: the device and the network
+subsystem. Device events are usually signaled via an interrupt, handled
+in an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). Handlers for the events
+originating in the network subsystem are then specified in
+``struct net_device_ops``.
+
+When the device is brought up, e.g., by calling ``ip link set can0 up``,
+the driver’s function ``ndo_open`` is called. It should validate the
+interface configuration and configure and enable the device. The
+analogous opposite is ``ndo_close``, called when the device is being
+brought down, be it explicitly or implicitly.
+
+When the system should transmit a frame, it does so by calling
+``ndo_start_xmit``, which enqueues the frame into the device. If the
+device HW queue (FIFO, mailboxes or whatever the implementation is)
+becomes full, the ``ndo_start_xmit`` implementation informs the network
+subsystem that it should stop the TX queue (via ``netif_stop_queue``).
+It is then re-enabled later in ISR when the device has some space
+available again and is able to enqueue another frame.
+
+All the device events are handled in ISR, namely:
+
+#. **TX completion**. When the device successfully finishes transmitting
+ a frame, the frame is echoed locally. On error, an informative error
+ frame [2]_ is sent to the network subsystem instead. In both cases,
+ the software TX queue is resumed so that more frames may be sent.
+
+#. **Error condition**. If something goes wrong (e.g., the device goes
+ bus-off or RX overrun happens), error counters are updated, and
+ informative error frames are enqueued to SW RX queue.
+
+#. **RX buffer not empty**. In this case, read the RX frames and enqueue
+ them to SW RX queue. Usually NAPI is used as a middle layer (see ).
+
+.. _sec:socketcan:napi:
+
+NAPI
+~~~~
+
+The frequency of incoming frames can be high and the overhead to invoke
+the interrupt service routine for each frame can cause significant
+system load. There are multiple mechanisms in the Linux kernel to deal
+with this situation. They evolved over the years of Linux kernel
+development and enhancements. For network devices, the current standard
+is NAPI – *the New API*. It is similar to classical top-half/bottom-half
+interrupt handling in that it only acknowledges the interrupt in the ISR
+and signals that the rest of the processing should be done in softirq
+context. On top of that, it offers the possibility to *poll* for new
+frames for a while. This has a potential to avoid the costly round of
+enabling interrupts, handling an incoming IRQ in ISR, re-enabling the
+softirq and switching context back to softirq.
+
+More detailed documentation of NAPI may be found on the pages of Linux
+Foundation `<https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi>`_.
+
+Integrating the core to Xilinx Zynq
+-----------------------------------
+
+The core interfaces a simple subset of the Avalon
+(search for Intel **Avalon Interface Specifications**)
+bus as it was originally used on
+Alterra FPGA chips, yet Xilinx natively interfaces with AXI
+(search for ARM **AMBA AXI and ACE Protocol Specification AXI3,
+AXI4, and AXI4-Lite, ACE and ACE-Lite**).
+The most obvious solution would be to use
+an Avalon/AXI bridge or implement some simple conversion entity.
+However, the core’s interface is half-duplex with no handshake
+signaling, whereas AXI is full duplex with two-way signaling. Moreover,
+even AXI-Lite slave interface is quite resource-intensive, and the
+flexibility and speed of AXI are not required for a CAN core.
+
+Thus a much simpler bus was chosen – APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus)
+(search for ARM **AMBA APB Protocol Specification**).
+APB-AXI bridge is directly available in
+Xilinx Vivado, and the interface adaptor entity is just a few simple
+combinatorial assignments.
+
+Finally, to be able to include the core in a block diagram as a custom
+IP, the core, together with the APB interface, has been packaged as a
+Vivado component.
+
+CTU CAN FD Driver design
+------------------------
+
+The general structure of a CAN device driver has already been examined
+in . The next paragraphs provide a more detailed description of the CTU
+CAN FD core driver in particular.
+
+Low-level driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The core is not intended to be used solely with SocketCAN, and thus it
+is desirable to have an OS-independent low-level driver. This low-level
+driver can then be used in implementations of OS driver or directly
+either on bare metal or in a user-space application. Another advantage
+is that if the hardware slightly changes, only the low-level driver
+needs to be modified.
+
+The code [3]_ is in part automatically generated and in part written
+manually by the core author, with contributions of the thesis’ author.
+The low-level driver supports operations such as: set bit timing, set
+controller mode, enable/disable, read RX frame, write TX frame, and so
+on.
+
+Configuring bit timing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On CAN, each bit is divided into four segments: SYNC, PROP, PHASE1, and
+PHASE2. Their duration is expressed in multiples of a Time Quantum
+(details in `CAN Specification, Version 2.0 <http://esd.cs.ucr.edu/webres/can20.pdf>`_, chapter 8).
+When configuring
+bitrate, the durations of all the segments (and time quantum) must be
+computed from the bitrate and Sample Point. This is performed
+independently for both the Nominal bitrate and Data bitrate for CAN FD.
+
+SocketCAN is fairly flexible and offers either highly customized
+configuration by setting all the segment durations manually, or a
+convenient configuration by setting just the bitrate and sample point
+(and even that is chosen automatically per Bosch recommendation if not
+specified). However, each CAN controller may have different base clock
+frequency and different width of segment duration registers. The
+algorithm thus needs the minimum and maximum values for the durations
+(and clock prescaler) and tries to optimize the numbers to fit both the
+constraints and the requested parameters.
+
+.. code:: c
+
+ struct can_bittiming_const {
+ char name[16]; /* Name of the CAN controller hardware */
+ __u32 tseg1_min; /* Time segment 1 = prop_seg + phase_seg1 */
+ __u32 tseg1_max;
+ __u32 tseg2_min; /* Time segment 2 = phase_seg2 */
+ __u32 tseg2_max;
+ __u32 sjw_max; /* Synchronisation jump width */
+ __u32 brp_min; /* Bit-rate prescaler */
+ __u32 brp_max;
+ __u32 brp_inc;
+ };
+
+
+[lst:can_bittiming_const]
+
+A curious reader will notice that the durations of the segments PROP_SEG
+and PHASE_SEG1 are not determined separately but rather combined and
+then, by default, the resulting TSEG1 is evenly divided between PROP_SEG
+and PHASE_SEG1. In practice, this has virtually no consequences as the
+sample point is between PHASE_SEG1 and PHASE_SEG2. In CTU CAN FD,
+however, the duration registers ``PROP`` and ``PH1`` have different
+widths (6 and 7 bits, respectively), so the auto-computed values might
+overflow the shorter register and must thus be redistributed among the
+two [4]_.
+
+Handling RX
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Frame reception is handled in NAPI queue, which is enabled from ISR when
+the RXNE (RX FIFO Not Empty) bit is set. Frames are read one by one
+until either no frame is left in the RX FIFO or the maximum work quota
+has been reached for the NAPI poll run (see ). Each frame is then passed
+to the network interface RX queue.
+
+An incoming frame may be either a CAN 2.0 frame or a CAN FD frame. The
+way to distinguish between these two in the kernel is to allocate either
+``struct can_frame`` or ``struct canfd_frame``, the two having different
+sizes. In the controller, the information about the frame type is stored
+in the first word of RX FIFO.
+
+This brings us a chicken-egg problem: we want to allocate the ``skb``
+for the frame, and only if it succeeds, fetch the frame from FIFO;
+otherwise keep it there for later. But to be able to allocate the
+correct ``skb``, we have to fetch the first work of FIFO. There are
+several possible solutions:
+
+#. Read the word, then allocate. If it fails, discard the rest of the
+ frame. When the system is low on memory, the situation is bad anyway.
+
+#. Always allocate ``skb`` big enough for an FD frame beforehand. Then
+ tweak the ``skb`` internals to look like it has been allocated for
+ the smaller CAN 2.0 frame.
+
+#. Add option to peek into the FIFO instead of consuming the word.
+
+#. If the allocation fails, store the read word into driver’s data. On
+ the next try, use the stored word instead of reading it again.
+
+Option 1 is simple enough, but not very satisfying if we could do
+better. Option 2 is not acceptable, as it would require modifying the
+private state of an integral kernel structure. The slightly higher
+memory consumption is just a virtual cherry on top of the “cake”. Option
+3 requires non-trivial HW changes and is not ideal from the HW point of
+view.
+
+Option 4 seems like a good compromise, with its disadvantage being that
+a partial frame may stay in the FIFO for a prolonged time. Nonetheless,
+there may be just one owner of the RX FIFO, and thus no one else should
+see the partial frame (disregarding some exotic debugging scenarios).
+Basides, the driver resets the core on its initialization, so the
+partial frame cannot be “adopted” either. In the end, option 4 was
+selected [5]_.
+
+.. _subsec:ctucanfd:rxtimestamp:
+
+Timestamping RX frames
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The CTU CAN FD core reports the exact timestamp when the frame has been
+received. The timestamp is by default captured at the sample point of
+the last bit of EOF but is configurable to be captured at the SOF bit.
+The timestamp source is external to the core and may be up to 64 bits
+wide. At the time of writing, passing the timestamp from kernel to
+userspace is not yet implemented, but is planned in the future.
+
+Handling TX
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The CTU CAN FD core has 4 independent TX buffers, each with its own
+state and priority. When the core wants to transmit, a TX buffer in
+Ready state with the highest priority is selected.
+
+The priorities are 3bit numbers in register TX_PRIORITY
+(nibble-aligned). This should be flexible enough for most use cases.
+SocketCAN, however, supports only one FIFO queue for outgoing
+frames [6]_. The buffer priorities may be used to simulate the FIFO
+behavior by assigning each buffer a distinct priority and *rotating* the
+priorities after a frame transmission is completed.
+
+In addition to priority rotation, the SW must maintain head and tail
+pointers into the FIFO formed by the TX buffers to be able to determine
+which buffer should be used for next frame (``txb_head``) and which
+should be the first completed one (``txb_tail``). The actual buffer
+indices are (obviously) modulo 4 (number of TX buffers), but the
+pointers must be at least one bit wider to be able to distinguish
+between FIFO full and FIFO empty – in this situation,
+:math:`txb\_head \equiv txb\_tail\ (\textrm{mod}\ 4)`. An example of how
+the FIFO is maintained, together with priority rotation, is depicted in

+
+ TX Buffer states with possible transitions
+
+.. _subsec:ctucanfd:txtimestamp:
+
+Timestamping TX frames
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When submitting a frame to a TX buffer, one may specify the timestamp at
+which the frame should be transmitted. The frame transmission may start
+later, but not sooner. Note that the timestamp does not participate in
+buffer prioritization – that is decided solely by the mechanism
+described above.
+
+Support for time-based packet transmission was recently merged to Linux
+v4.19 `Time-based packet transmission <https://lwn.net/Articles/748879/>`_,
+but it remains yet to be researched
+whether this functionality will be practical for CAN.
+
+Also similarly to retrieving the timestamp of RX frames, the core
+supports retrieving the timestamp of TX frames – that is the time when
+the frame was successfully delivered. The particulars are very similar
+to timestamping RX frames and are described in .
+
+Handling RX buffer overrun
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When a received frame does no more fit into the hardware RX FIFO in its
+entirety, RX FIFO overrun flag (STATUS[DOR]) is set and Data Overrun
+Interrupt (DOI) is triggered. When servicing the interrupt, care must be
+taken first to clear the DOR flag (via COMMAND[CDO]) and after that
+clear the DOI interrupt flag. Otherwise, the interrupt would be
+immediately [7]_ rearmed.
+
+**Note**: During development, it was discussed whether the internal HW
+pipelining cannot disrupt this clear sequence and whether an additional
+dummy cycle is necessary between clearing the flag and the interrupt. On
+the Avalon interface, it indeed proved to be the case, but APB being
+safe because it uses 2-cycle transactions. Essentially, the DOR flag
+would be cleared, but DOI register’s Preset input would still be high
+the cycle when the DOI clear request would also be applied (by setting
+the register’s Reset input high). As Set had higher priority than Reset,
+the DOI flag would not be reset. This has been already fixed by swapping
+the Set/Reset priority (see issue #187).
+
+Reporting Error Passive and Bus Off conditions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It may be desirable to report when the node reaches *Error Passive*,
+*Error Warning*, and *Bus Off* conditions. The driver is notified about
+error state change by an interrupt (EPI, EWLI), and then proceeds to
+determine the core’s error state by reading its error counters.
+
+There is, however, a slight race condition here – there is a delay
+between the time when the state transition occurs (and the interrupt is
+triggered) and when the error counters are read. When EPI is received,
+the node may be either *Error Passive* or *Bus Off*. If the node goes
+*Bus Off*, it obviously remains in the state until it is reset.
+Otherwise, the node is *or was* *Error Passive*. However, it may happen
+that the read state is *Error Warning* or even *Error Active*. It may be
+unclear whether and what exactly to report in that case, but I
+personally entertain the idea that the past error condition should still
+be reported. Similarly, when EWLI is received but the state is later
+detected to be *Error Passive*, *Error Passive* should be reported.

+=============================
+Flexcan CAN Controller driver
+=============================
+
+Authors: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>,
+Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com>
+
+On/off RTR frames reception
+===========================
+
+For most flexcan IP cores the driver supports 2 RX modes:
+
+- FIFO
+- mailbox
+
+The older flexcan cores (integrated into the i.MX25, i.MX28, i.MX35
+and i.MX53 SOCs) only receive RTR frames if the controller is
+configured for RX-FIFO mode.
+
+The RX FIFO mode uses a hardware FIFO with a depth of 6 CAN frames,
+while the mailbox mode uses a software FIFO with a depth of up to 62
+CAN frames. With the help of the bigger buffer, the mailbox mode
+performs better under high system load situations.
+
+As reception of RTR frames is part of the CAN standard, all flexcan
+cores come up in a mode where RTR reception is possible.
+
+With the "rx-rtr" private flag the ability to receive RTR frames can
+be waived at the expense of losing the ability to receive RTR
+messages. This trade off is beneficial in certain use cases.
+
+"rx-rtr" on
+ Receive RTR frames. (default)
+
+ The CAN controller can and will receive RTR frames.
+
+ On some IP cores the controller cannot receive RTR frames in the
+ more performant "RX mailbox" mode and will use "RX FIFO" mode
+ instead.
+
+"rx-rtr" off
+
+ Waive ability to receive RTR frames. (not supported on all IP cores)
+
+ This mode activates the "RX mailbox mode" for better performance, on
+ some IP cores RTR frames cannot be received anymore.
+
+The setting can only be changed if the interface is down::
+
+ ip link set dev can0 down
+ ethtool --set-priv-flags can0 rx-rtr {off|on}
+ ip link set dev can0 up
