Re: [U-Boot] MPC5121 MSCAN Peripheral in U-Boot

Dear Matteo,

I'm implementing a driver for the MSCAN peripheral of the mpc5121 in Das U-Boot.
I'm wondering if there's anyone who has already done some work on it.
What would be the purpose of such a driver? In the boot loader?
Wouldn't it make much more sense to focus on accelerating the Linux boot time and use the existing socketcan driver there?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Hi Wolfgang, I need the CAN driver in the boot loader because I need to handle a CAN request in a very short time... I doubt I can boot Linux and make the CAN driver work in the order of a few hundreds of milliseconds...
