In order to receive such messages, CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS must be set.
4.2 Broadcast Manager protocol sockets (SOCK_DGRAM)
-
- The Broadcast Manager protocol provides a command based configuration
- interface to filter and send (e.g. cyclic) CAN messages in kernel space.
-
- Receive filters can be used to down sample frequent messages; detect events
- such as message contents changes, packet length changes, and do time-out
- monitoring of received messages.
-
- Periodic transmission tasks of CAN frames or a sequence of CAN frames can be
- created and modified at runtime; both the message content and the two
- possible transmit intervals can be altered.
-
- A BCM socket is not intended for sending individual CAN frames using the
- struct can_frame as known from the CAN_RAW socket. Instead a special BCM
- configuration message is defined. The basic BCM configuration message used
- to communicate with the broadcast manager and the available operations are
- defined in the linux/can/bcm.h include. The BCM message consists of a
- message header with a command ('opcode') followed by zero or more CAN frames.
- The broadcast manager sends responses to user space in the same form:
-
- struct bcm_msg_head {
- __u32 opcode; /* command */
- __u32 flags; /* special flags */
- __u32 count; /* run 'count' times with ival1 */
- struct timeval ival1, ival2; /* count and subsequent interval */
- canid_t can_id; /* unique can_id for task */
- __u32 nframes; /* number of can_frames following */
- struct can_frame frames[0];
- };
-
- The aligned payload 'frames' uses the same basic CAN frame structure defined
- at the beginning of section 4 and in the include/linux/can.h include. All
- messages to the broadcast manager from user space have this structure.
-
- Note a CAN_BCM socket must be connected instead of bound after socket
- creation (example without error checking):
-
- int s;
- struct sockaddr_can addr;
- struct ifreq ifr;
-
- s = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_DGRAM, CAN_BCM);
-
- strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "can0");
- ioctl(s, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr);
-
- addr.can_family = AF_CAN;
- addr.can_ifindex = ifr.ifr_ifindex;
-
- connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr))
-
- (..)
-
- The broadcast manager socket is able to handle any number of in flight
- transmissions or receive filters concurrently. The different RX/TX jobs are
- distinguished by the unique can_id in each BCM message. However additional
- CAN_BCM sockets are recommended to communicate on multiple CAN interfaces.
- When the broadcast manager socket is bound to 'any' CAN interface (=> the
- interface index is set to zero) the configured receive filters apply to any
- CAN interface unless the sendto() syscall is used to overrule the 'any' CAN
- interface index. When using recvfrom() instead of read() to retrieve BCM
- socket messages the originating CAN interface is provided in can_ifindex.
-
- 4.2.1 Broadcast Manager operations
-
- The opcode defines the operation for the broadcast manager to carry out,
- or details the broadcast managers response to several events, including
- user requests.
-
- Transmit Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
-
- TX_SETUP: Create (cyclic) transmission task.
-
- TX_DELETE: Remove (cyclic) transmission task, requires only can_id.
-
- TX_READ: Read properties of (cyclic) transmission task for can_id.
-
- TX_SEND: Send one CAN frame.
-
- Transmit Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
-
- TX_STATUS: Reply to TX_READ request (transmission task configuration).
-
- TX_EXPIRED: Notification when counter finishes sending at initial interval
- 'ival1'. Requires the TX_COUNTEVT flag to be set at TX_SETUP.
-
- Receive Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
-
- RX_SETUP: Create RX content filter subscription.
-
- RX_DELETE: Remove RX content filter subscription, requires only can_id.
-
- RX_READ: Read properties of RX content filter subscription for can_id.
-
- Receive Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
-
- RX_STATUS: Reply to RX_READ request (filter task configuration).
-
- RX_TIMEOUT: Cyclic message is detected to be absent (timer ival1 expired).
-
- RX_CHANGED: BCM message with updated CAN frame (detected content change).
- Sent on first message received or on receipt of revised CAN messages.
-
- 4.2.2 Broadcast Manager message flags
-
- When sending a message to the broadcast manager the 'flags' element may
- contain the following flag definitions which influence the behaviour:
-
- SETTIMER: Set the values of ival1, ival2 and count
-
- STARTTIMER: Start the timer with the actual values of ival1, ival2
- and count. Starting the timer leads simultaneously to emit a CAN frame.
-
- TX_COUNTEVT: Create the message TX_EXPIRED when count expires
-
- TX_ANNOUNCE: A change of data by the process is emitted immediately.
-
- TX_CP_CAN_ID: Copies the can_id from the message header to each
- subsequent frame in frames. This is intended as usage simplification. For
- TX tasks the unique can_id from the message header may differ from the
- can_id(s) stored for transmission in the subsequent struct can_frame(s).
-
- RX_FILTER_ID: Filter by can_id alone, no frames required (nframes=0).
-
- RX_CHECK_DLC: A change of the DLC leads to an RX_CHANGED.
-
- RX_NO_AUTOTIMER: Prevent automatically starting the timeout monitor.
-
- RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME: If passed at RX_SETUP and a receive timeout occured, a
- RX_CHANGED message will be generated when the (cyclic) receive restarts.
-
- TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX: Reset the index for the multiple frame transmission.
-
- RX_RTR_FRAME: Send reply for RTR-request (placed in op->frames[0]).
-
- 4.2.3 Broadcast Manager transmission timers
-
- Periodic transmission configurations may use up to two interval timers.
- In this case the BCM sends a number of messages ('count') at an interval
- 'ival1', then continuing to send at another given interval 'ival2'. When
- only one timer is needed 'count' is set to zero and only 'ival2' is used.
- When SET_TIMER and START_TIMER flag were set the timers are activated.
- The timer values can be altered at runtime when only SET_TIMER is set.
-
- 4.2.4 Broadcast Manager message sequence transmission
-
- Up to 256 CAN frames can be transmitted in a sequence in the case of a cyclic
- TX task configuration. The number of CAN frames is provided in the 'nframes'
- element of the BCM message head. The defined number of CAN frames are added
- as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
-
- /* create a struct to set up a sequence of four CAN frames */
- struct {
- struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
- struct can_frame frame[4];
- } mytxmsg;
-
- (..)
- mytxmsg.nframes = 4;
- (..)
-
- write(s, &mytxmsg, sizeof(mytxmsg));
-
- With every transmission the index in the array of CAN frames is increased
- and set to zero at index overflow.
-
- 4.2.5 Broadcast Manager receive filter timers
-
- The timer values ival1 or ival2 may be set to non-zero values at RX_SETUP.
- When the SET_TIMER flag is set the timers are enabled:
-
- ival1: Send RX_TIMEOUT when a received message is not received again within
- the given time. When START_TIMER is set at RX_SETUP the timeout detection
- is activated directly - even without a former CAN frame reception.
-
- ival2: Throttle the received message rate down to the value of ival2. This
- is useful to reduce messages for the application when the signal inside the
- CAN frame is stateless as state changes within the ival2 periode may get
- lost.
-
- 4.2.6 Broadcast Manager multiplex message receive filter
-
- To filter for content changes in multiplex message sequences an array of more
- than one CAN frames can be passed in a RX_SETUP configuration message. The
- data bytes of the first CAN frame contain the mask of relevant bits that
- have to match in the subsequent CAN frames with the received CAN frame.
- If one of the subsequent CAN frames is matching the bits in that frame data
- mark the relevant content to be compared with the previous received content.
- Up to 257 CAN frames (multiplex filter bit mask CAN frame plus 256 CAN
- filters) can be added as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
-
- /* usually used to clear CAN frame data[] - beware of endian problems! */
- #define U64_DATA(p) (*(unsigned long long*)(p)->data)
-
- struct {
- struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
- struct can_frame frame[5];
- } msg;
-
- msg.msg_head.opcode = RX_SETUP;
- msg.msg_head.can_id = 0x42;
- msg.msg_head.flags = 0;
- msg.msg_head.nframes = 5;
- U64_DATA(&msg.frame[0]) = 0xFF00000000000000ULL; /* MUX mask */
- U64_DATA(&msg.frame[1]) = 0x01000000000000FFULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x01) */
- U64_DATA(&msg.frame[2]) = 0x0200FFFF000000FFULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x02) */
- U64_DATA(&msg.frame[3]) = 0x330000FFFFFF0003ULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x33) */
- U64_DATA(&msg.frame[4]) = 0x4F07FC0FF0000000ULL; /* data mask (MUX 0x4F) */
-
- write(s, &msg, sizeof(msg));
