Yes, that's the user's intention but the manual states DTSEG still need to be configured. In the above configuration, it will not be.
Besides, this will not be a "pure" CAN 2.0 node (i.e.) if a frame with length > 8 bytes is received the controller will "ACK" because in FD mode it can receive up to 64 bytes frame.
The controller does support a "pure" classical CAN mode with a different set of register map itself. Do you think a pure CAN 2.0 mode support would be beneficial? I can submit this in coming days on top of current submission.
The current submission status is:
- Controller operates in CAN FD mode only.
- If needed to interoperate with CAN 2.0 nodes, data bitrate still need to be configured and it will work perfectly. However, it is not a "pure" CAN 2.0 node as mentioned above.
Thanks,
Ramesh
