STM32F4 - CAN bus transmit succeeds every time, but CAN receive only succeeds on the first call - interrupt

Question

I'm using an STM32F469 Discovery board and I'm trying to use the CAN features.
I understand that on this board CAN1 cannot be used at the same time as the touchscreen. Therefore I need to use CAN2, but in order to enable CAN2, CAN1 needs to be enabled.
My code for configuration/callback is as follows:

if (HAL_CAN_Transmit(&CanHandle, 10) != HAL_OK)
{
EwBspOrangeLedOn();
}
HAL_Delay(10);
}
I then run the following in my main function to configure the CAN1, CAN2 and the interrupt:
/* Configure interrupt for CAN transmission */
CAN1_Config();
CAN2_Config();
HAL_CAN_Receive_IT(&CanHandle2, CAN_FIFO0);
And then I run the CAN_Transmit_Message().
When doing this I have verified the message successfully transmits (the orange LED does not turn on), the receive interrupt handler is then executed (yellow LED turns on) and the message is successfully received (red LED does not turn on).
However, on the second transmission of a message (another call to CAN_Transmit_Message()), the transmit once again succeeds, but the receive fails (red LED turns on).
I created this code by following the structure in the CAN_Networking example code, but I cannot figure out why it is failing at the HAL_CAN_Receive_IT function on the second message (after the first message is successfully received).
Note: After reading the stm32f4xx_HAL_CAN library file, I noticed there are two types of receive/transmit:
HAL_CAN_Transmit_IT/HAL_CAN_Receive_IT
HAL_CAN_Transmit/HAL_CAN_Receive
It says that 1. is nonblocking - I take it this means that another interrupt can be triggered whilst this transmit/receive is still running?
In my case I want to make sure that I receive the response data after sending the transmit to request it, so should I use function 2.? I.e. I would call HAL_CAN_Transmit with a suitable timeout, and then after it completes call HAL_CAN_Receive, again with a suitable timeout.

Answer 1

Do you call HAL_CAN_Receive_IT each time you get a response?
It's one shot. To keep receiving, call it again in your interrupt handler.
From the Reference Manual:
When a message has been received, it is available to the software in the FIFO output mailbox. Once the software has handled the message (e.g. read it) the software must release the FIFO output mailbox by means of the RFOM bit in the CAN_RFR register to make the next incoming message available.
HAL_CAN_Receive_IT contains lines that enable the interrupts and release the FIFO...
/* Enable interrupts: */
/* - Enable Error warning Interrupt */
/* - Enable Error passive Interrupt */
/* - Enable Bus-off Interrupt */
/* - Enable Last error code Interrupt */
/* - Enable Error Interrupt */
/* - Enable Transmit mailbox empty Interrupt */
__HAL_CAN_ENABLE_IT(hcan, CAN_IT_EWG |
CAN_IT_EPV |
CAN_IT_BOF |
CAN_IT_LEC |
CAN_IT_ERR |
CAN_IT_TME );
/* Process unlocked */
__HAL_UNLOCK(hcan);
if (FIFONumber == CAN_FIFO0)
{
/* Enable FIFO 0 message pending Interrupt */
__HAL_CAN_ENABLE_IT(hcan, CAN_IT_FMP0);
}
else
{
/* Enable FIFO 1 message pending Interrupt */
__HAL_CAN_ENABLE_IT(hcan, CAN_IT_FMP1);
}
