mailbox 5 have the same priority and have a message to send at the same time, then the mes-
sage of the mailbox 0 is sent first.
Setting the MACR bit in the CAN_MCRx register aborts the transmission. Transmission for sev-
eral mailboxes can be aborted by writing MBx fields in the CAN_MACR register. If the message
is being sent when the abort command is set, then the application is notified by the MRDY bit set
and not the MABT in the CAN_MSRx register. Otherwise, if the message has not been sent,
then the MRDY and the MABT are set in the CAN_MSR register.
When the bus arbitration is lost by a mailbox message, the CAN controller tries to win the next
bus arbitration with the same message if this one still has the highest priority. Messages to be
sent are re-tried automatically until they win the bus arbitration. This feature can be disabled by
setting the bit DRPT in the CAN_MR register. In this case if the message was not sent the first
time it was transmitted to the CAN transceiver, it is automatically aborted. The MABT flag is set
in the CAN_MSRx register until the next transfer command.
Figure 37-15
The first MBx message is sent, the second is aborted and the last one is trying to be aborted but
too late because it has already been transmitted to the CAN transceiver.
Producer/consumer model is an efficient means of handling broadcasted messages. The push
model allows a producer to broadcast messages; the pull model allows a customer to ask for
messages.
