How many CAN ports available on 9606

Except for CAN0, is there any CAN port on RMC connector? Since the processor of MPC5125 has 4 CAN ports, can I use all of these ports?

If you have an EEPROM you can configure the GPIO on the RMC to support CAN One Network on pins GP_Port(0, 1, 5)

Hi newbear,

 

The capabilities that Jeff mentioned are detailed in the latest version of the sbRIO-9606 user manual:

http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373378d.pdf

 

The CAN and other peripherals built into the PPC are multiplexed.  Most of the processor IO pins are already used for onboard tasks (Ethernet, Serial, USB, RAM, Flash, bus to FPGA, etc), but with an RMC with onboard configuration EEPROM, you can dedicate the pins Jeff mentioned as a second CAN port.
