The MSCAN then schedules the message for transmission and signals the successful transmission of the
is generated1 when TXEx is set and can be used to drive the application software to re-load the buffer.
If more than one buffer is scheduled for transmission when the CAN bus becomes available for arbitration,
the MSCAN uses the local priority setting of the three buffers to determine the prioritization. For this
purpose, every transmit buffer has an 8-bit local priority eld (PRIO). The application software programs
this eld when the message is set up. The local priority reects the priority of this particular message
relative to the set of messages being transmitted from this node. The lowest binary value of the PRIO eld
is dened to be the highest priority. The internal scheduling process takes place whenever the MSCAN
arbitrates for the CAN bus. This is also the case after the occurrence of a transmission error.
When a high priority message is scheduled by the application software, it may become necessary to abort
a lower priority message in one of the three transmit buffers. Because messages that are already in
transmission cannot be aborted, the user must request the abort by setting the corresponding abort request
(CANTARQ)”.) The MSCAN then grants the request, if possible, by:
1. Setting the corresponding abort acknowledge ag (ABTAK) in the CANTAAK register.
2. Setting the associated TXE ag to release the buffer.
3. Generating a transmit interrupt. The transmit interrupt handler software can determine from the
setting of the ABTAK ag whether the message was aborted (ABTAK = 1) or sent (ABTAK = 0).

Receive Structures
The received messages are stored in a ve stage input FIFO. The ve message buffers are alternately
mapped into a single memory area (see
Figure 8-39). The background receive buffer (RxBG) is exclusively
associated with the MSCAN, but the foreground receive buffer (RxFG) is addressable by the CPU (see
Figure 8-39). This scheme simplies the handler software because only one address area is applicable for
the receive process.
All receive buffers have a size of 15 bytes to store the CAN control bits, the identier (standard or
the status of the foreground receive buffer. When the buffer contains a correctly received message with a
matching identier, this ag is set.
Acceptance Filter”) and simultaneously is written into the active RxBG. After successful reception of a
valid message, the MSCAN shifts the content of RxBG into the receiver FIFO2, sets the RXF ag, and
handler must read the received message from the RxFG and then reset the RXF ag to acknowledge the
interrupt and to release the foreground buffer. A new message, which can follow immediately after the IFS
eld of the CAN frame, is received into the next available RxBG. If the MSCAN receives an invalid

2. Only if the RXF ag is not set.
3. The receive interrupt occurs only if not masked. A polling scheme can be applied on RXF also.
