CAN interface type

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation / Hardware board settings / Target hardware resources / Groups / CAN

Description

Specify whether the CAN interface represents a physical device or a virtual interface.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Interface configuration to Specify via Simulink. To enable this parameter for additional interfaces, set Number of interfaces to a value greater than or equal to the interface number.

Settings

Real (default) | Virtual

Select the interface type.

Real (default): Physical CAN bus interface connected to a CAN controller (such as MCP2518FD). The generated code uses ip link set type can commands to configure the interface with the specified bit rate parameters.
Virtual: Virtual CAN interface (vcan) for loopback testing. Messages transmitted on a virtual interface are immediately received on the same interface. No physical CAN hardware is required. The generated code uses ip link add type vcan to create the interface.

Recommended Settings
