C-code to control FPGA with Leon

It entirely depends on the specific CAN core you are using. Surely it came with ample documentation to describe how to do this basic thing? If the core lacks this documentation, please tell us which core so that we may all avoid it in the future. If, however, it has such documentation, then perhaps you can share with us the part that you don't understand.

Traditional CAN modules such as the SJA1000 allow you to create a message by writing its contents to registers, as you suggest. You must also remember to configure the identifier and other features of the message. Then you write some kind of "start" command to a control register. The message then probably goes into a FIFO buffer so that it can be sent automatically by the hardware at some future time. There is probably an interrupt output, or a status register, allowing you to determine when the message has been sent. Also, don't forget to check for the many possible error conditions that CAN checks so carefully.

as said, i have to connect the CAN IP-Core with Leon Processor and implement the whole modul in a FPGA Board.

i have downloaded Leon Core from

and CAN IP-Core from So there was not much documentation for the CAN IP-Core. In my Opinion, the CAN IP-Core is quite similar to the SJA1000 Pelican, but not the same. in my CAN Core, from the Register

10 to 19, it refers to tx_data_0 to tx_data_9, and from Register 20 to 29 refers to rx_data_0 to rx_data_9.

As said, i have connected the CAN Core to Leon as an APB-Slave and to send a message from Can Core, i have written a C-Code with following steps:

1) i write the data to tx_data_0 to tx_data_9 register. the tx_data_0 and tx_data_1 Register has the information of the Identifier, RTR and Data length.

2) then i set the command register of 0x01 to send the message.

3) i have disabled the interrupt register and error register and just want to sent a message first.

4) to observe the can bus i have the CANalyzer.

Just till now, i have not received single message.
