MKS CANable V1.0

Overview

The Makerbase MKS CANable V1.0 board features an ARM Cortex-M0 based STM32F072C8 MCU with a CAN, USB and debugger connections. Here are some highlights of the MKS CANable V1.0 board:

  • STM32 microcontroller in LQFP48 package

  • USB Micro-B connector (J1)

  • CAN-Bus connector (J3)

  • Three LEDs: blue/tx_led (D1), green/rx_led (D2), red/power_led (D3)

  • Power-on boot selection for BOOT0 (J5)

  • ST-LINK/V3E debugger/programmer header (J2)

  • Development support: Serial Wire Debug (SWD)

  • USB VBUS power supply (5 V)

The LED red/power_led (D3) is connected directly to on-board 3.3 V and not controllable by the MCU.

More information about the board can be found at the MKS CANable V1.0 website [1]. It is very advisable to take a look in on schematic MKS CANable V1.0 schematic [2] and user manual MKS CANable V2.0 User Manual [3] before start.

For more details please refer to MKS CANable V1.0 schematic [2].

System Clock

The MKS CANable V1.0 system clock is driven by internal high speed oscillator. By default system clock is driven by PLL clock at 48 MHz, the PLL is driven by the 8 MHz high speed internal oscillator.

The CAN1 peripheral is driven by PLL, which has 48 MHz frequency.

Programming and Debugging

The mks_canable_v10 board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

flash debug debugserver attach rtt reset
dfu-util ✅ (default)
jlink
openocd ✅ (default)

The MKS CANable V1.0 board includes an SWDIO debug connector header J2.

Note

The debugger is not part of the board!

Applications for the mks_canable_v10 board target can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

The board could be flashed using west.

Flashing an application to MKS CANable V1.0 via USB DFU

If flashing via USB DFU, connect the short-circuit cap to the two pins of BOOT (J5) when applying power to the MKS CANable V1.0 board in order to enter the built-in DFU mode.

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mks_canable_v10 samples/basic/blinky
west flash

Flashing an application to MKS CANable V1.0 via SWD Debugger

The debugger shall be wired to MKS CANable V1.0 board’s J2 connector according MKS CANable V1.0 schematic [2].

Build and flash an application. Here is an example for using OpenOCD Hello World.

west build -b mks_canable_v10 -S rtt-console samples/hello_world
west flash --runner openocd

The argument -S rtt-console is needed for debug purposes with SEGGER RTT protocol. This option is optional and may be omitted. Omitting it frees up RAM space but prevents RTT usage.

If option -S rtt-console is selected, the connection to the target can be established as follows:

$ telnet localhost 9090

You should see the following message on the console:

$ Hello World! mks_canable_v10/stm32f072xb

Note

Current OpenOCD config will skip Segger RTT for OpenOCD under 0.12.0.

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mks_canable_v10 samples/hello_world
west debug
