Update, the problem was a missing common ground from the test pc with
Vector's cancardx and the DUT. I put earthgournd on the neg terminal of the
DUT power supply and the problem went away. I didn't investigate further,
but I suspect the BDM ground was connected to earth ground and allowed it to
work properly

Kevin,

Does the CAN bus operate normally otherwise when the BDM tool is not
connected?
If not it may be that your code is writing a '0' to the CANE bit (write once
in
normal modes) in the CANCTL1 register, disabling the CAN module. If this is
the
case, the code works when the BDM tool is connected because the BDM
tool/software is resetting the part in Special mode and the CANE bit is
write
anytime in Special mode. Check out the CAN register initialization sequence.

Gordon

When I use the Isystem BDM for the Star12 DP256, and using some third party
CAN software, I get a TRUE returned from a function which tells if the bus
is in limp home mode. When this happens it is OK to disable the CAN
tranciever, which I do by pulling the ENE and STBY pins low. Without the
BDM, of course I can't debug, but the ENE and STBY never go low, under the
excact same bus circumstances from the tester. This is indicating the limp
home routine returns FALSE even when the bus should be in limp home state.
The BDM doesn't connect directly to any CAN lines. We are using CAN0 and
this is an 80 pin device. I verifed the program in flash is the same as the
code downloaded to the BDM. Does anyone know how just having the BDM
connected could affect the CAN bus? I hope someone can shed some light on
this, as I have a deadling coming real soon, and don't have a clue as to
what to do next.
