History

Torsten Rasmussen 407b49b35c cmake: use find_package to locate Zephyr Using find_package to locate Zephyr. Old behavior was to use $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE} for inclusion of boiler plate code. Whenever an automatic run of CMake happend by the build system / IDE then it was required that ZEPHYR_BASE was defined. Using ZEPHYR_BASE only to locate the Zephyr package allows CMake to cache the base variable and thus allowing subsequent invocation even if ZEPHYR_BASE is not set in the environment. It also removes the risk of strange build results if a user switchs between different Zephyr based project folders and forgetting to reset ZEPHYR_BASE before running ninja / make.

Controller Area Network
#######################

Overview
********

This sample demonstrates how to use the Controller Area Network (CAN) API.
Messages with standard and extended identifiers are sent over the bus.
Messages are received using message-queues and work-queues.
Reception is indicated by blinking the LED (if present) and output to the console.

Building and Running
********************

In loopback mode, the board receives its own messages. This could be used for
standalone testing.

The LED output pin is defined in the board's devicetree.

The sample can be built and executed for boards with a SoC that have an
integrated CAN controller or for boards with a SoC that has been augmented
with a stand alone CAN controller.

Integrated CAN controller
=========================

For the NXP TWR-KE18F board:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/CAN
   :board: twr_ke18f
   :goals: build flash

Stand alone CAN controller
==========================

For the nRF52_PCA10040 board combined with the DFRobot CAN bus V2.0 shield that
provides the MCP2515 CAN controller:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/CAN
   :board: nrf52_pca10040
   :shield: dfrobot_can_bus_v2_0
   :conf: prj.mcp2515.conf
   :goals: build flash
