Yes, I did: http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?fi&t5338

Actually I really would like to use the msextra code because it has a
much better structure (not to mention that I was very lucky to get a
free educational license from Freescale and it would be much easier with
gcc). Anyway, msextra does not yet support our v-twin
(http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?f&t4979) yet.

Did you experience problems like this with msextra? The CAN code seems
to be mostly the same.

Regards,
Johannes

Once I understood the Megasquirt usage of CAN, it has been working ok.

I also have CAN running on the 9S12XEP100 processor communicating with the Megasquirt firmware on the 9S12C64.

Just for reference. The solution was that there is a bug on the board
connecting TXCAN and RXCAN with about 2 Ohm (instead of infinite
resistance). We have another Megasquirt (not Microsquirt) unit where
everything works fine. I just hope that not Microsquirts have this
broken board...
