Description
Baud Rate Prescalar
0x00-0x03F: The value by which the oscillator frequency is divided for
generating the bit time quanta. The bit time is built up from a multiple
of this quantum. The actual interpretation by the hardware of this value
is such that one more than the value programmed here is used.
BRP defines the number of CAN clock periods that make up 1 bit time
quanta, so the reset value is 2 bit time quanta (1+1).
The BRPRE register can be used to further divide the bit time.
