18F57Q84 - which CAN driver to use ?

[pet007]

Hello,
when I'm reading manual for CCS (5.116), I can see there these CAN drivers based on MCU type:

Look at your chip's data sheet.
What CAN peripheral does it say it has?. Section 38. "CAN FD".
Guess what driver you should use......

The drivers are _not_ 'based on MCU type'. They are based on the
peripheral type. So external MCP2515 chip, you use the mcp2515 driver.
PIC18 with the ecan module you use the pic18f_ecan driver. Chips with
the CAN FD module you use the pic18_fd driver. The point about the FD
module is it allows flexible data rates instead of the fixed ones supported
by the standard peripheral. Obviously extra settings involved to cope with
this.

im using a
PIC18F47Q84 with
#include "can-pic18_fd.c"
and a SN65HVD235DR driver with great success...

configuring is a bit tricky but i think it was more a learning curve than it being Actually tricky.
other than that, works great! PCH 5.109.
