Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR
We noticed another issue in the CAN libraries (serial) that may be related. This only happened in the pits for us, but occasionally NetConsole would show an error about the FRC_CANJaguar_ReceiveTask failing, which would subsequently cause the user code to fail quite violently. As with you, a soft reboot of the cRIO fixed the problem.

Judging by the similar symptoms between Serial and 2CAN interfaces, I'm thinking there's something wrong with the FRC_NetworkCommunication portion of the CAN library.
