25.4 Functional Overview
The FlexCAN module is flexible in that each one of its 16 message buffers (MBs) can be assigned either
as a transmit buffer or a receive buffer. Each MB, which is up to 8 bytes long, is also assigned an interrupt
flag bit that indicates successful completion of either transmission or reception.
NOTE
Note that for both processes, the first CPU action in preparing a MB should
be to deactivate it by setting its code field to the proper value. This
requirement is mandatory to assure proper operation.
25.4.1 Transmit Process
The CPU prepares or changes an MB for transmission by executing the following steps:
• Writing the Control/Status word to hold Tx MB inactive (code = 1000).
• Writing the ID_HIGH and ID_LOW words.
