Hi there,
I am wondering why the CAN bus does not feature in the datasheet?
There is a question here on the forum that dates back to 2016 saying that it was coming.
Are you commited to CAN bus or is it a way to be able to deprecate it? Or is it known that it is buggy in any way?
CAN bus is a requirement for me and I am wondering if it is better to use a SPI version?
Thanks for letting me know.

Re: Datasheet for CAN bus
It's a legal thing. If you want a protocol that speaks ISO 11898-3 (which is commonly refered to as 'CAN') look for the TWAI peripheral in any of the ESP32s.
Re: Datasheet for CAN bus
There are bugs in the twai peripheral and they have been addressed in recent esp-idf commits
Re: Datasheet for CAN bus
Wifi, Do you have the commit details? I should check that all issues have been addressed.
There were at least 2 errors. (1) The driver would lock failed after overflow, reboot being the only recovery. Try switching interrupts off for 100mS and you will see. (2) Corrupt data getting through. I could force this issue by toggling the termination resistor.
I have used the patches for 6 months+ & I think them good.
My application uses CAN data for a display and so a glitch would only cause a display artifact. I added 'braces' protection to the patch's 'belt', strings being strings, ranges etc. No user reports so guess fixed. Unfortunately was not able to add stress tests to the backlog (accountants!).
Looks like I might have to change my signature, which would be great!

& I also believe that IDF CAN should be fixed.

Ok !!! Thanks wifive, that makes sense.
Thank you all for the feedback on the libs. I will have a closer look soon.

Re: Datasheet for CAN bus
The ESP32 CAN internal registers and operation behave just like a Phillips SJA1000 CAN Controller. I have successfully used the SJA1000 datasheet to develop ESP32 CAN Bus apps.
