Hello,

I'm currently working on interfacing the MCP2515 CAN controller with a Nios II processor via SPI. While I can observe SPI transactions on a logic analyzer, I'm not receiving any responses from the MCP2515.​

Has anyone successfully interfaced the MCP2515 with a Nios II processor? If so, could you share insights or code snippets that might help identify what might be going wrong in my setup?​

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
