ESP32 CAN demo on Olimex ESP32 REVB compile issue

Hey Guys,

I am gonna be honest, i am a major beginner when it comes to this stuff, I can bumble my way through on most things though.

SO i purchased one of Olimex fantastic ESP32 Dev boards Rev B because i had see a article on Hackaday about CAN support on the ESP32 and i wanted to try it out, i have a project in mind that sends CAN data over bluetooth but thats a liittle ahead of myself.
I have managed to, through following some fantastic tutorials provided by this community get my Windows PC working with the ESP-IDF. I have flashed my ESP a few times, including a websockets example i found on github. However when i have tried to flash the CAN demo that Rudi and Thomas Barth had created i am having a few compiling issues, I read through the forun post about the CAN controller and from my understanding after i downloaded the Demo file, i shouldn't need to ad the DRV folder containing CAN into the include files within ESP-IDF however when i try to compile i am met with this error

$ make
CC //main.o
AR libmain.a
LD CAN_demo.elf
C:/msys32/home/rossf/esp/esp-idf/examples/ESP32_CAN_demo/build/main\libmain.a(main.o):(.literal.task_CAN+0x0): undefined reference to `CAN_cfg'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [C:/msys32/home/rossf/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk:323: /home/rossf/esp/esp-idf/examples/ESP32_CAN_demo/build/CAN_demo.elf] Error 1

Undefined reference to me seems to suggest that the CAN.cfg file is being pointed to but the file isn't there, Acting on that hunch, i tried moving the files inside the DRV file into the make directory with no luck.

If anybody has some information on where i am going wrong that would be great.

Thanks
Ross

hi ross

welcome :)

vid sequenze from begin - start here

from your post i read, you have done in the past successful compile in your environment.
so use your favority eclipse empty project that contains esp-idf and environment setup well.

for a fast test compile setup, download the hello world example from ESP-IDF
and push this in your empty project.
( you can start a simply compile here - but wait )

there are origin and forked repo with changes available

the base is the same, download one,

here in this example
download the CAN driver pack and push the component to your project
you have now the CAN component in your project.

cause the driver pack is created on the GPIO4 and GPIO5 successful
you have to expand the RANGE in the "Kconfig" file under the CAN Component by self
example Olimex use
Rx GPIO35
Tx GPIO 5
expand_range.jpg
expand_range.jpg (51.57 KiB) Viewed 11600 times
save it and run menuconfig on your favority way like you did in the past.
you see now CAN under component config,
menuconfig.jpg
menuconfig.jpg (25.67 KiB) Viewed 11600 times
setup your node, Rx, Tx, Baud, and if you want use the CONFIG Define example send test frame, you can set here and you have then a possible way in your code to use
enbable/disable send test frames
- CONFIG_CAN_TEST_SENDING_ENABLED
- CONFIG_CAN_TEST_SENDING_DISABLED

you can start now a test compile.
this must compile without problem.

now you can update or rename the hello world file ( *.bak )
and create a new CAN demo file example
if you use the CAN Demo so be sure, there are small changes need
cause the the structure of CAN Demo was that the driver is in the project and not as component,
so this can be the reason why your compile fails.

i will append here in next time an update on the CAN Demo -
so you can in the meantime start with yours
let me know how you get on in this

for next CAN Projects
you can simply copy and paste your test project and you have all on right place,
the component CAN too.

btw - if you want, you can place the component CAN to the ESP-IDF component folder too
so you need not more append the component CAN to your next projects.
like you want to do.

hope this helps for first steps.

best wishes
rudi ;-)

Rudi,

Thank you so much for this,

I tried out your demo code and it worked flawlessly. It looks like it is sending out those test frames fine, I am going to bring my board into work tomorrow and test it on our CAN baud tester but by all acounts it looks like i should be able to continue with my project. Thank you, you really went above and beyond what was needed all for a stranger.
Many thanks
Rocketman

Thanks for your kind words 'Rocketman' :D

Hope you get as far as you can - just write when something goes wrong.
If the problem is for you solved feel free to edit on your first post title to [solved]

btw have read in your post from Websockets..

Then we go on with next steps with ETH PHY - LAN ? :)
Let me know how you get on in the next.

The ETH PHY demo modified for Olimex is in the pipe-
if you want to link CAN with LAN and LAN with CAN, also many websocket
or later WiFi to LAN or LAN to WiFi or BT to LAN ......(bla bla bla ) :D

PR is done.

in the meantime

have phun!

best wishes
rudi ;-)
