Stuff error

[chinna_indra2000]

  I get stuff error while transmitting messages over TouCAN.

Following is the test setup I have used for the CAN message
transmission Two MPC 565 boards connected by CAN cables (TouCAN A
and TouCAN B on one board connected to TouCAN A and TouCAN B
respectively on another board).

I have used Extended ID 0xEEEEEEEE for transmitting the Data Frame
from the first 565 board to second one.

When I send a message from First MPC565 board to the second one I
get a stuff error on second one.

Can a stuff error can occur due to problem in the software or does
it occur only due to hardware problem?

Is there any restriction on the content of the Data Frame ie., I
read in one of the CAN documents that there should not be 7
consecutive recessive bits in CAN frame.

Please let me know.

Stuff errors are hardware or timing related and there are no
restrictions on the content of the data frame - after 5 consecutive bits
of ID, data or CRC, the Toucan will automatically stuff a bit.  THe only
s/w error is setting the bit timing.
 
Here are a few things to try:
- ensure you have the 120ohm termination resistors at each end of the
bus i.e. two 120 ohm resistors across CAN_H and CAN_L.  THis is
essential.
- check or adjust your bit-timing settings and use the same settings on
each device.  THere's more to it than just having the numbers add up to
the correct timing.  Set RJW to max and make sure the prop delay is
reasonable.  Look at the waveform on a scope to check the timing.  With
the termination resistors, the waveform should look relatively square.
- if it still doesn't work, try dropping the baud rate to see if you get
any success. 1Mbaud is the max, but try reducing it just to see if you
get any better success.  If you have your bit-timings correct, 1M should
be possible without errors.
