Overview


The candleLight FD is an open-hardware USB to CAN FD adapter board available from Linux Automation GmBH. Find more information about the board at the Linux Automation website_.

Hardware


The candleLight FD board is equipped with a STM32G0B1CBT6 microcontroller and features an USB-C connector, a DB-9M connector for the CAN bus, and two user LEDs. Schematics and component placement drawings are available in the candleLight FD GitHub repository_.

Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

System Clock

The STM32G0B1CBT6 PLL is driven by an external crystal oscillator (HSE) running at 8 MHz and configured to provide a system clock of 60 MHz. This allows generating a FDCAN1 and FDCAN2 core clock of 80 MHz.

Programming and Debugging


.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

If flashing via USB DFU, short jumper BOOT when applying power to the candleLight FD in order to enter the built-in DFU mode.

Variants

The candleLight FD is can be retrofitted with a second transceiver, making it a dual CAN FD device:

  • candlelightfd: The default variant.
  • candlelightfd_stm32g0b1xx_dual: Variant for the dual CAN FD.

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:blinky application.
