Two-Wire Automotive Interface (TWAI)

Overview

The Two-Wire Automotive Interface (TWAI) is a real-time serial communication protocol suited for automotive and industrial applications. It is compatible with ISO11898-1 Classical frames, thus can support Standard Frame Format (11-bit ID) and Extended Frame Format (29-bit ID). The ESP32-P4 contains 3 TWAI controller(s) that can be configured to communicate on a TWAI bus via an external transceiver.

警告

The TWAI controller is not compatible with ISO11898-1 FD Format frames, and will interpret such frames as errors.

This programming guide is split into the following sections:

TWAI Protocol Summary

The TWAI is a multi-master, multi-cast, asynchronous, serial communication protocol. TWAI also supports error detection and signalling, and inbuilt message prioritization.

Multi-master: Any node on the bus can initiate the transfer of a message.

Multi-cast: When a node transmits a message, all nodes on the bus will receive the message (i.e., broadcast) thus ensuring data consistency across all nodes. However, some nodes can selectively choose which messages to accept via the use of acceptance filtering (multi-cast).

Asynchronous: The bus does not contain a clock signal. All nodes on the bus operate at the same bit rate and synchronize using the edges of the bits transmitted on the bus.

Error Detection and Signaling: Every node constantly monitors the bus. When any node detects an error, it signals the detection by transmitting an error frame. Other nodes will receive the error frame and transmit their own error frames in response. This results in an error detection being propagated to all nodes on the bus.

Message Priorities: Messages contain an ID field. If two or more nodes attempt to transmit simultaneously, the node transmitting the message with the lower ID value will win arbitration of the bus. All other nodes will become receivers ensuring that there is at most one transmitter at any time.

TWAI Messages

TWAI Messages are split into Data Frames and Remote Frames. Data Frames are used to deliver a data payload to other nodes, whereas a Remote Frame is used to request a Data Frame from other nodes (other nodes can optionally respond with a Data Frame). Data and Remote Frames have two frame formats known as Extended Frame and Standard Frame which contain a 29-bit ID and an 11-bit ID respectively. A TWAI message consists of the following fields:

  • 29-bit or 11-bit ID: Determines the priority of the message (lower value has higher priority).

  • Data Length Code (DLC) between 0 to 8: Indicates the size (in bytes) of the data payload for a Data Frame, or the amount of data to request for a Remote Frame.

  • Up to 8 bytes of data for a Data Frame (should match DLC).

Error States and Counters

The TWAI protocol implements a feature known as "fault confinement" where a persistently erroneous node will eventually eliminate itself from the bus. This is implemented by requiring every node to maintain two internal error counters known as the Transmit Error Counter (TEC) and the Receive Error Counter (REC). The two error counters are incremented and decremented according to a set of rules (where the counters increase on an error, and decrease on a successful message transmission/reception). The values of the counters are used to determine a node's error state, namely Error Active, Error Passive, and Bus-Off.

Error Active: A node is Error Active when both TEC and REC are less than 128 and indicates that the node is operating normally. Error Active nodes are allowed to participate in bus communications, and will actively signal the detection of any errors by automatically transmitting an Active Error Flag over the bus.

Error Passive: A node is Error Passive when either the TEC or REC becomes greater than or equal to 128. Error Passive nodes are still able to take part in bus communications, but will instead transmit a Passive Error Flag upon detection of an error.

Bus-Off: A node becomes Bus-Off when the TEC becomes greater than or equal to 256. A Bus-Off node is unable influence the bus in any manner (essentially disconnected from the bus) thus eliminating itself from the bus. A node will remain in the Bus-Off state until it undergoes bus-off recovery.

Signals Lines and Transceiver

The TWAI controller does not contain a integrated transceiver. Therefore, to connect the TWAI controller to a TWAI bus, an external transceiver is required. The type of external transceiver used should depend on the application's physical layer specification (e.g., using SN65HVD23x transceivers for ISO 11898-2 compatibility).

The TWAI controller's interface consists of 4 signal lines known as TX, RX, BUS-OFF, and CLKOUT. These four signal lines can be routed through the GPIO Matrix to the ESP32-P4's GPIO pads.

Signal lines of the TWAI controller

TX and RX: The TX and RX signal lines are required to interface with an external transceiver. Both signal lines represent/interpret a dominant bit as a low logic level (0 V), and a recessive bit as a high logic level (3.3 V).

BUS-OFF: The BUS-OFF signal line is optional and is set to a low logic level (0 V) whenever the TWAI controller reaches a bus-off state. The BUS-OFF signal line is set to a high logic level (3.3 V) otherwise.

CLKOUT: The CLKOUT signal line is optional and outputs a prescaled version of the controller's source clock.

备注

An external transceiver must internally loopback the TX to RX such that a change in logic level to the TX signal line can be observed on the RX line. Failing to do so will cause the TWAI controller to interpret differences in logic levels between the two signal lines as a loss in arbitration or a bit error.

API Naming Conventions

备注

The TWAI driver provides two sets of API. One is handle-free and is widely used in IDF versions earlier than v5.2, but it can only support one TWAI hardware controller. The other set is with handles, and the function name is usually suffixed with "v2", which can support any number of TWAI controllers. These two sets of API can be used at the same time, but it is recommended to use the "v2" version in your new projects.

Driver Configuration

This section covers how to configure the TWAI driver.

Operating Modes

The TWAI driver supports the following modes of operations:

Normal Mode: The normal operating mode allows the TWAI controller to take part in bus activities such as transmitting and receiving messages/error frames. Acknowledgement from another node is required when transmitting a message.

No Ack Mode: The No Acknowledgement mode is similar to normal mode, however acknowledgements are not required for a message transmission to be considered successful. This mode is useful when self testing the TWAI controller (loopback of transmissions).

Listen Only Mode: This mode prevents the TWAI controller from influencing the bus. Therefore, transmission of messages/acknowledgement/error frames will be disabled. However the TWAI controller is still able to receive messages but will not acknowledge the message. This mode is suited for bus monitor applications.

Alerts

The TWAI driver contains an alert feature that is used to notify the application layer of certain TWAI controller or TWAI bus events. Alerts are selectively enabled when the TWAI driver is installed, but can be reconfigured during runtime by calling twai_reconfigure_alerts(). The application can then wait for any enabled alerts to occur by calling twai_read_alerts(). The TWAI driver supports the following alerts:

TWAI Driver Alerts

Alert Flag

Description

TWAI_ALERT_TX_IDLE

No more messages queued for transmission

TWAI_ALERT_TX_SUCCESS

The previous transmission was successful

TWAI_ALERT_RX_DATA

A frame has been received and added to the RX queue

TWAI_ALERT_BELOW_ERR_WARN

Both error counters have dropped below error warning limit

TWAI_ALERT_ERR_ACTIVE

TWAI controller has become error active

TWAI_ALERT_RECOVERY_IN_PROGRESS

TWAI controller is undergoing bus recovery

TWAI_ALERT_BUS_RECOVERED

TWAI controller has successfully completed bus recovery

TWAI_ALERT_ARB_LOST

The previous transmission lost arbitration

TWAI_ALERT_ABOVE_ERR_WARN

One of the error counters have exceeded the error warning limit

TWAI_ALERT_BUS_ERROR

A (Bit, Stuff, CRC, Form, ACK) error has occurred on the bus

TWAI_ALERT_TX_FAILED

The previous transmission has failed

TWAI_ALERT_RX_QUEUE_FULL

The RX queue is full causing a received frame to be lost

TWAI_ALERT_ERR_PASS

TWAI controller has become error passive

TWAI_ALERT_BUS_OFF

Bus-off condition occurred. TWAI controller can no longer influence bus

备注

The TWAI controller's error warning limit is used to preemptively warn the application of bus errors before the error passive state is reached. By default, the TWAI driver sets the error warning limit to 96. The TWAI_ALERT_ABOVE_ERR_WARN is raised when the TEC or REC becomes larger then or equal to the error warning limit. The TWAI_ALERT_BELOW_ERR_WARN is raised when both TEC and REC return back to values below 96.

备注

When enabling alerts, the TWAI_ALERT_AND_LOG flag can be used to cause the TWAI driver to log any raised alerts to UART. However, alert logging is disabled and TWAI_ALERT_AND_LOG if the CONFIG_TWAI_ISR_IN_IRAM option is enabled (see Placing ISR into IRAM).

备注

The TWAI_ALERT_ALL and TWAI_ALERT_NONE macros can also be used to enable/disable all alerts during configuration/reconfiguration.

Bit Timing

The operating bit rate of the TWAI driver is configured using the twai_timing_config_t structure. The period of each bit is made up of multiple time quanta, and the period of a time quantum is determined by a pre-scaled version of the TWAI controller's source clock. A single bit contains the following segments in the following order:

  1. The Synchronization Segment consists of a single time quantum

  2. Timing Segment 1 consists of 1 to 16 time quanta before sample point

  3. Timing Segment 2 consists of 1 to 8 time quanta after sample point

The Baudrate Prescaler is used to determine the period of each time quantum by dividing the TWAI controller's source clock. On the ESP32-P4, the brp can be any even number from 2 to 32768. Alternatively, you can decide the resolution of each quantum, by setting twai_timing_config_t::quanta_resolution_hz to a non-zero value. In this way, the driver can calculate the underlying brp value for you. It is useful when you set different clock sources but want the bitrate to keep the same.

Supported clock source for a TWAI controller is listed in the twai_clock_source_t and can be specified in twai_timing_config_t::clk_src.

Bit timing configuration for 500kbit/s given BRP = 8, clock source frequency is 80MHz

The sample point of a bit is located on the intersection of Timing Segment 1 and 2. Enabling Triple Sampling causes 3 time quanta to be sampled per bit instead of 1 (extra samples are located at the tail end of Timing Segment 1).

The Synchronization Jump Width is used to determine the maximum number of time quanta a single bit time can be lengthened/shortened for synchronization purposes. sjw can range from 1 to 4.

备注

Multiple combinations of brp, tseg_1, tseg_2, and sjw can achieve the same bit rate. Users should tune these values to the physical characteristics of their bus by taking into account factors such as propagation delay, node information processing time, and phase errors.

Bit timing macro initializers are also available for commonly used bit rates. The following macro initializers are provided by the TWAI driver.

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_1MBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_800KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_500KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_250KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_125KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_100KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_50KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_25KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_20KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_16KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_12_5KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_10KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_5KBITS

  • TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_1KBITS

Acceptance Filter

The TWAI controller contains a hardware acceptance filter which can be used to filter messages of a particular ID. A node that filters out a message does not receive the message, but will still acknowledge it. Acceptance filters can make a node more efficient by filtering out messages sent over the bus that are irrelevant to the node. The acceptance filter is configured using two 32-bit values within twai_filter_config_t known as the acceptance code and the acceptance mask.

The acceptance code specifies the bit sequence which a message's ID, RTR, and data bytes must match in order for the message to be received by the TWAI controller. The acceptance mask is a bit sequence specifying which bits of the acceptance code can be ignored. This allows for a messages of different IDs to be accepted by a single acceptance code.

The acceptance filter can be used under Single or Dual Filter Mode. Single Filter Mode uses the acceptance code and mask to define a single filter. This allows for the first two data bytes of a standard frame to be filtered, or the entirety of an extended frame's 29-bit ID. The following diagram illustrates how the 32-bit acceptance code and mask are interpreted under Single Filter Mode (Note: The yellow and blue fields represent standard and extended frame formats respectively).

Bit layout of single filter mode (Right side MSBit)

Dual Filter Mode uses the acceptance code and mask to define two separate filters allowing for increased flexibility of ID's to accept, but does not allow for all 29-bits of an extended ID to be filtered. The following diagram illustrates how the 32-bit acceptance code and mask are interpreted under Dual Filter Mode (Note: The yellow and blue fields represent standard and extended frame formats respectively).

Bit layout of dual filter mode (Right side MSBit)

Disabling TX Queue

The TX queue can be disabled during configuration by setting the tx_queue_len member of twai_general_config_t to 0. This allows applications that do not require message transmission to save a small amount of memory when using the TWAI driver.

Placing ISR into IRAM

The TWAI driver's ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) can be placed into IRAM so that the ISR can still run whilst the cache is disabled. Placing the ISR into IRAM may be necessary to maintain the TWAI driver's functionality during lengthy cache disabling operations (such as SPI Flash writes, OTA updates etc). Whilst the cache is disabled, the ISR continues to:

  • Read received messages from the RX buffer and place them into the driver's RX queue.

  • Load messages pending transmission from the driver's TX queue and write them into the TX buffer.

To place the TWAI driver's ISR, users must do the following:

备注

When the CONFIG_TWAI_ISR_IN_IRAM option is enabled, the TWAI driver will no longer log any alerts (i.e., the TWAI_ALERT_AND_LOG flag will not have any effect).

Driver Operation

The TWAI driver is designed with distinct states and strict rules regarding the functions or conditions that trigger a state transition. The following diagram illustrates the various states and their transitions.

128 occurrences of 11 consecutive recessive bits.

Driver States

Uninstalled: In the uninstalled state, no memory is allocated for the driver and the TWAI controller is powered OFF.

Stopped: In this state, the TWAI controller is powered ON and the TWAI driver has been installed. However the TWAI controller is unable to take part in any bus activities such as transmitting, receiving, or acknowledging messages.

Running: In the running state, the TWAI controller is able to take part in bus activities. Therefore messages can be transmitted/received/acknowledged. Furthermore, the TWAI controller is able to transmit error frames upon detection of errors on the bus.

Bus-Off: The bus-off state is automatically entered when the TWAI controller's Transmit Error Counter becomes greater than or equal to 256. The bus-off state indicates the occurrence of severe errors on the bus or in the TWAI controller. Whilst in the bus-off state, the TWAI controller is unable to take part in any bus activities. To exit the bus-off state, the TWAI controller must undergo the bus recovery process.

Recovering: The recovering state is entered when the TWAI controller undergoes bus recovery. The TWAI controller/TWAI driver remains in the recovering state until the 128 occurrences of 11 consecutive recessive bits is observed on the bus.

Message Fields and Flags

The TWAI driver distinguishes different types of messages by using the various bit field members of the twai_message_t structure. These bit field members determine whether a message is in standard or extended format, a remote frame, and the type of transmission to use when transmitting such a message.

These bit field members can also be toggled using the flags member of twai_message_t and the following message flags:

Message Flag

Description

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_EXTD

Message is in Extended Frame Format (29bit ID)

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_RTR

Message is a Remote Frame (Remote Transmission Request)

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_SS

Transmit message using Single Shot Transmission (Message will not be retransmitted upon error or loss of arbitration). Unused for received message.

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_SELF

Transmit message using Self Reception Request (Transmitted message will also received by the same node). Unused for received message.

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_DLC_NON_COMP

Message's Data length code is larger than 8. This will break compliance with TWAI

TWAI_MSG_FLAG_NONE

Clears all bit fields. Equivalent to a Standard Frame Format (11bit ID) Data Frame.

Examples

Configuration & Installation

The following code snippet demonstrates how to configure, install, and start the TWAI driver via the use of the various configuration structures, macro initializers, the twai_driver_install() function, and the twai_start() function.

#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "driver/twai.h"

void app_main()
{
    //Initialize configuration structures using macro initializers
    twai_general_config_t g_config = TWAI_GENERAL_CONFIG_DEFAULT(GPIO_NUM_21, GPIO_NUM_22, TWAI_MODE_NORMAL);
    twai_timing_config_t t_config = TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_500KBITS();
    twai_filter_config_t f_config = TWAI_FILTER_CONFIG_ACCEPT_ALL();

    //Install TWAI driver
    if (twai_driver_install(&g_config, &t_config, &f_config) == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver installed\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to install driver\n");
        return;
    }

    //Start TWAI driver
    if (twai_start() == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver started\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to start driver\n");
        return;
    }

    ...

}

The usage of macro initializers is not mandatory and each of the configuration structures can be manually.

Install Multiple TWAI Instances

The following code snippet demonstrates how to install multiple TWAI instances via the use of the twai_driver_install_v2() function.

#include "driver/gpio.h"
#include "driver/twai.h"

void app_main()
{
    twai_handle_t twai_bus_0;
    twai_handle_t twai_bus_1;
    //Initialize configuration structures using macro initializers
    twai_general_config_t g_config = TWAI_GENERAL_CONFIG_DEFAULT(GPIO_NUM_0, GPIO_NUM_1, TWAI_MODE_NORMAL);
    twai_timing_config_t t_config = TWAI_TIMING_CONFIG_500KBITS();
    twai_filter_config_t f_config = TWAI_FILTER_CONFIG_ACCEPT_ALL();

    //Install driver for TWAI bus 0
    g_config.controller_id = 0;
    if (twai_driver_install_v2(&g_config, &t_config, &f_config, &twai_bus_0) == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver installed\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to install driver\n");
        return;
    }
    //Start TWAI driver
    if (twai_start_v2(twai_bus_0) == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver started\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to start driver\n");
        return;
    }

    //Install driver for TWAI bus 1
    g_config.controller_id = 1;
    g_config.tx_io = GPIO_NUM_2;
    g_config.rx_io = GPIO_NUM_3;
    if (twai_driver_install_v2(&g_config, &t_config, &f_config, &twai_bus_1) == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver installed\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to install driver\n");
        return;
    }
    //Start TWAI driver
    if (twai_start_v2(twai_bus_1) == ESP_OK) {
        printf("Driver started\n");
    } else {
        printf("Failed to start driver\n");
        return;
    }

    //Other Driver operations must use version 2 API as well
    ...

}

Message Transmission

The following code snippet demonstrates how to transmit a message via the usage of the twai_message_t type and twai_transmit() function.

#include "driver/twai.h"

...

// Configure message to transmit
twai_message_t message = {
    // Message type and format settings
    .extd = 1,              // Standard vs extended format
    .rtr = 0,               // Data vs RTR frame
    .ss = 0,                // Whether the message is single shot (i.e., does not repeat on error)
    .self = 0,              // Whether the message is a self reception request (loopback)
    .dlc_non_comp = 0,      // DLC is less than 8
    // Message ID and payload
    .identifier = 0xAAAA,
    .data_length_code = 4,
    .data = {0, 1, 2, 3},
};

//Queue message for transmission
if (twai_transmit(&message, pdMS_TO_TICKS(1000)) == ESP_OK) {
    printf("Message queued for transmission\n");
} else {
    printf("Failed to queue message for transmission\n");
}

Message Reception

The following code snippet demonstrates how to receive a message via the usage of the twai_message_t type and twai_receive() function.

#include "driver/twai.h"

...

//Wait for message to be received
twai_message_t message;
if (twai_receive(&message, pdMS_TO_TICKS(10000)) == ESP_OK) {
    printf("Message received\n");
} else {
    printf("Failed to receive message\n");
    return;
}

//Process received message
if (message.extd) {
    printf("Message is in Extended Format\n");
} else {
    printf("Message is in Standard Format\n");
}
printf("ID is %d\n", message.identifier);
if (!(message.rtr)) {
    for (int i = 0; i < message.data_length_code; i++) {
        printf("Data byte %d = %d\n", i, message.data[i]);
    }
}

Reconfiguring and Reading Alerts

The following code snippet demonstrates how to reconfigure and read TWAI driver alerts via the use of the twai_reconfigure_alerts() and twai_read_alerts() functions.

#include "driver/twai.h"

...

//Reconfigure alerts to detect Error Passive and Bus-Off error states
uint32_t alerts_to_enable = TWAI_ALERT_ERR_PASS | TWAI_ALERT_BUS_OFF;
if (twai_reconfigure_alerts(alerts_to_enable, NULL) == ESP_OK) {
    printf("Alerts reconfigured\n");
} else {
    printf("Failed to reconfigure alerts");
}

//Block indefinitely until an alert occurs
uint32_t alerts_triggered;
twai_read_alerts(&alerts_triggered, portMAX_DELAY);

Stop and Uninstall

The following code demonstrates how to stop and uninstall the TWAI driver via the use of the twai_stop() and twai_driver_uninstall() functions.

#include "driver/twai.h"

...

//Stop the TWAI driver
if (twai_stop() == ESP_OK) {
    printf("Driver stopped\n");
} else {
    printf("Failed to stop driver\n");
    return;
}

//Uninstall the TWAI driver
if (twai_driver_uninstall() == ESP_OK) {
    printf("Driver uninstalled\n");
} else {
    printf("Failed to uninstall driver\n");
    return;
}

Multiple ID Filter Configuration

The acceptance mask in twai_filter_config_t can be configured such that two or more IDs are accepted for a single filter. For a particular filter to accept multiple IDs, the conflicting bit positions amongst the IDs must be set in the acceptance mask. The acceptance code can be set to any one of the IDs.

The following example shows how the calculate the acceptance mask given multiple IDs:

ID1 =  11'b101 1010 0000
ID2 =  11'b101 1010 0001
ID3 =  11'b101 1010 0100
ID4 =  11'b101 1010 1000
//Acceptance Mask
MASK = 11'b000 0000 1101

Application Examples

Network Example: The TWAI Network example demonstrates communication between two ESP32-P4s using the TWAI driver API. One TWAI node acts as a network master that initiates and ceases the transfer of a data from another node acting as a network slave. The example can be found via peripherals/twai/twai_network.

Alert and Recovery Example: This example demonstrates how to use the TWAI driver's alert and bus-off recovery API. The example purposely introduces errors on the bus to put the TWAI controller into the Bus-Off state. An alert is used to detect the Bus-Off state and trigger the bus recovery process. The example can be found via peripherals/twai/twai_alert_and_recovery.

Self Test Example: This example uses the No Acknowledge Mode and Self Reception Request to cause the TWAI controller to send and simultaneously receive a series of messages. This example can be used to verify if the connections between the TWAI controller and the external transceiver are working correctly. The example can be found via peripherals/twai/twai_self_test.
