VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI/NANO Rev 1.0/1.1/1.2 CAN Bus support
Introduction
On VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI/NANO revision 1.3 some changes were introduced to improve the performance of the MCP251XFD CAN controller.
Starting from Yocto Dunfell releases dunfell-fslc-5.4-2.1.x-mx8mm-v1.3 & dunfell-fslc-5.4-2.1.x-mx8mn-v1.2 the kernel DTS files are synchronized with SOM revision 1.3.
Some adjustments are necessary for older SOM revisions to ensure the correct CAN controller operation.
This tutorial shows how to adjust the kernel DTS files for VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI/NANO revisions 1.0/1.1/1.2.
