CAN FD controllers can send and receive classical CAN frames as well as
CAN FD frames. On the other hand, a classical CAN controller will always
react with an error frame when receiving a CAN FD frame: A recessive
bit in the position of the dominant r-bit in classical CAN is regarded
as irregularity. The in classical CAN invalid value would be answered
with an error frame. At this point it becomes transparent, that CAN FD
frames will neither be understood, nor tolerated by traditional CAN
controllers.
