This project is a wishbone bus compatible CAN (Controller Area Network) controller, which can be used to communicate with other nodes on a CAN bus like those frequently found in cars and other light industrial applications. This implementation should (hopefully!) cover the entire CAN 2.0B standard outlined in this document. As a summary, this controller supports standard, extended ID, and RTR packets for both RX and TX. It should also recognize overload and error packets in RX and will transmit error packets when necessary. Taking inspiration from the CAN controller implemented in many STM32 MCUs, this controller also allows the user to configure up to 20 maskable filters for the receiver. An 8 section long FIFO is placed on the receive side to capture filtered packets, and three transmit mailboxes are available which can either transmit in numerical order, or by highest priority CAN ID.
Bits 31-6: reserved
Bit 5: overrun enable (r/w)
Enable overrun on the RX FIFO
Bit 4: auto retrans (r/w)
Auto retransmission on TX in case of an arbitration loss. May be useful to keep 0 if packets are time sensitive.
Bit 3: tx priority (r/w)
Priority for TX mailboxes. Set to 1 for priority based on Mailbox number (1 -> 2 -> 3). Set to 0 for ID based priority (lowest ID wins like in normal arbitration).
Bit 2: sleep (r/w)
Put into sleep mode. No RX or TX.
Bit 1: reset (r/w)
Reset the CAN controller without needing to reset the whole chip
Bit 0: start (r/w)
Start the CAN controller from sleep mode. Set to 1 once the rest of the controller has been configured
Bits 31-5: reserved
Bit 4: tx busy (r)
Transmitter is transmitting something and has won arbitration
Bit 3: rx busy (r)
Receiver is busy receiver.
Bit 2: curr sample (r)
Current sample from the receiver
Bits 1-0: mode (r)
CAN controller mode. 0 = sleep, 1 = initialization, 2 = running
Bit 31-9: reserved
Bit 8: empty (r)
FIFO is empty
Bit 7: full (r)
FIFO is full
Bit 6-3: occupancy (r)
FIFO occupancy
Bit 2: overrun (r) FIFO has overrun
Bit 1: read fifo (r/w)
Set to 1 after other FIFO registers have been read in order to move on to the next packet in the FIFO
Bit 0: clear (r/w) Clear the contents of the FIFO
Bits 31-11 reserved
Bits 10-6: fmi (r) Filter match index. The index of the filter for which this particular packet was passed on to the RX FIFO
Bit 5: EXT (r)
The packet is an extended ID packet
Bit 4: RTR (r)
The packet is a remote transmission request
Bits 3-0: size (r)
Size of the received packet
Bits 31-29: reserved
Bits 28-0: ID (r)
Bits 28-18: Normal ID, bits 17-0: extended ID if applicable
read only
Bits 31-24: Byte 3 of packet in FIFO
Bits 23-16: Byte 2 of packet in FIFO

Bits 31-20: reserved
Bits 19-0: filter enables (r/w)
Each bit enables the particular filter number for entry to the RX FIFO.
Bit 31: reserved
Bit 30: RTR (r/w)
Preferred RTR bit for the filter
Bit 29: EXT (r/w)
Preferred EXT bit for the filter
Bits 28-0: ID (r/w)
Perferred ID for the filter. Refer to FIDR for bit organization
Bit 31: reserved
Bits 30-0: mask (r/w)
mask for corresponding filter (mask off bits you want to contribute to the filter). For example only mask off bits 28-18 of the ID, or just mask RTR packets by setting bit 30.
Bits 31-21: reserved
Bits 20-18: LEC (r)
Last error code
Bit 17: bus off (r)
Controller is in bus off mode
Bit 16: error passive (r)
Controller is error passive
Bits 15-8: TEC (r)
Transmitter error count
Bits 7-0: REC (r)
Receiver error count
Bits 31-16: reserved
Bits 15-13: TS2 (r/w)
Time segment 2. Length of the second time segment of a bit period in time quanta. Length = TS2 + 1.
Bits 12-10: TS1 (r/w)
Time segment 1. Length of the first time segment of a bit period in time quanta. Length = TS1 + 1.
Bits 9-0: BRP (r/w)
Baud rate prescaler. Prescaler from wishbone clock to time quanta. tq = BRP + 1
Bit period = tq x (2 + (TS1 + 1) + (TS2 + 1))

This peripheral was designed in SystemVerilog and as such was not easily simulated with FOSS/freeware. I ended up choosing Vivado Webpack for simulation. Therefore, an extra makefile as well as tcl script for running vivado have been added. They are mostly intended to be used in my personal design flow for Lattice iCE-40 FPGAs hence the extra portions or the tcl file. Running make tbsim_source on a machine with Vivado installed should allow the testbench to be run. You may also notice that some verilog versions of files are also included. These are neccessary as yosys cannot deal with all facets of SystemVerilog. The tool sv2v was used to accomplish this.
