From 45151243fb78cdedb9606983a2a19f51f95cb5eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adeeb Shihadeh Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 11:36:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix infinite loops and timeout handling in SPI and CAN - SPI _wait_for_ack: default timeout=0 to 500ms, clamp to 100-500ms range - SPI _transfer: default timeout=0 to 500ms, add MAX_TIMEOUT_RETRIES (5) limit - SPI _transfer: add NACK backoff like C++ implementation - SPI _transfer: run recovery logic for ALL exception types (fixes onroad test) - CAN can_recv: max 3 retries instead of infinite loop, return [] on failure - CAN can_send_many: detect no-progress and drop after 3 retries - CAN_SEND_TIMEOUT_MS: changed from 10ms to 5ms to match C++ These changes align Python behavior with the C++ pandad implementation.
