Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] hw/arm/sabrelite: Add FlexCAN support
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 20:13:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1773866323.git.matyas.bobek@gmail.com> (raw)
This series adds emulation of the FlexCAN CAN controller, version 2,
found in NXP i.MX6 series SoCs. The controller is integrated into
fsl-imx6 and the Sabrelite ARM board.
The chip has two FlexCAN controllers, but the Linux Sabrelite
device tree enables only one by default. Linux kernel with both
controllers enabled has been tested to work properly (using a custom
device tree).
See docs/system/devices/can.rst for an example of QEMU command line
invocation.
More information about the implementation can be found in my bachelor
thesis [1].
The headers (struct FlexcanRegs and flexcan_regs.h macros) were copied
from the Linux kernel. Marc Kleine-Budde is the copyright holder. He
has been kindly asked to provide consent, to confirm his approval for
the inclusion of said header fragments into QEMU.
Changes from v1:
- removed DPRINTF (turned into traces or guest errors)
- removed gotos and unnecessary continues
- register memory region shortened to actual length w/o padding
- make flexcan_* fns private
- used DEVICE(s)->canonical_path instead of allocating new strings
- changed DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN to DEVICE_LITTLE_ENDIAN
- removed ugly USE macro
- used enums instead of define sequences in flexcan.c
- fixed FlexCAN KConfig conf (fixes build on non-arm-softmmu)
- fixed style and other issues from Bernhard's review
- better wording in docs
- rebased onto latest master
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/cover.1765826753.git.matyas.bobek@gmail.com
Thanks Bernhard Beschow for the review and his patience.
I borrowed some fixes from his flexcan branch at [2].
