The FlexRay module performs communication according to the FlexRay protocol specification v2.1. The sample clock bitrate can be programmed to values up to 10 MBit per second. Additional bus driver (BD) hardware is required for connection to the physical layer.
For communication on a FlexRay network, individual message buffers with up to 254 data bytes are configurable. The message storage consists of a single-ported message RAM that holds up to 128 message buffers. All functions concerning the handling of messages are implemented in the message handler. Those functions are the acceptance filtering, the transfer of messages between the two FlexRay Channel Protocol Controllers and the message RAM, maintaining the transmission schedule as well as providing message status information.
The register set of the FlexRay module can be accessed directly by the CPU through the VBUS interface. These registers are used to control, configure and monitor the FlexRay channel protocol controllers, message handler, global time unit, system universal control, frame/symbol processing, network management, interrupt control, and to access the message RAM through the I/O buffer.
