I noticed that the mcf5441x currently is configured for FIFO mode. Have you tested the driver in mailbox mode? The reason that some cores use the FIFO mode is, that they cannot receive RTR CAN frames in mailbox mode. According to the IP core overview table, the mcf5441x can receive RTR frames. If the IP core supports reception of RTR frames, mailbox mode should be used, as it makes use of more buffers (16-2) instead of 6 in FIFO mode. Should we activate mailbox mode for the mcf5441x? regards, Marc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Embedded Linux | https://www.pengutronix.de | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 |
