RPI3 mcp2515 issues

[DK9]

Cant get my head around this issue, even tho I've tested every single example, how-to and guides found in forums and other google searches.

Ive enable dtoverlay for mcp2515 and spi and it kind of seems to work, except clock setting.

Here's my outputs

/boot/config.txt

Code: Select all

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
#dtoverlay=mcp2515-can1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=24
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835
dtdebug=1
enable_uart=0

As seen in ip link details, clock is at 8Mhz but my controller has 16Mhz oscillator.
I have verified the controller to work with arduino. Also tried to compile new dtbo for can0 since i suspected osc value to be hardcoded in dtbo, but no success.

Any ideas ?
Or is there a way to get clock to 16mhz ?

Hi,

the 8 MHz is fine because
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/dr ... 1x.c?v=4.4

Code: Select all

1036         clk = devm_clk_get(&spi->dev, NULL);
1037         if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
1038                 if (pdata)
1039                         freq = pdata->oscillator_frequency;
1040                 else
1041                         return PTR_ERR(clk);
1042         } else {
1043                 freq = clk_get_rate(clk);
1044         }
...
1067         priv->can.clock.freq = freq / 2;

the frequency is devided by 2. This frequency is internally used to calculate the timing parameters.

I see...
For the record, that means, even tho can interfaces appear with other clocking values than the actual oscillator, clock is not reflecting MCP2515 configuration ?

Hooking other custom interfaces on the bus-line do receive and send frames, except RPI3.
