Can I do CANFD communication using external CAN controllers(ex:MCP2517FD)?
This MCP2517FD controller works with SPI.

Microcontroller I'm using: STM32F413VGT3

Hello,

MCP2517FD is just an a SPI/CAN converter so it can be used with any MCU having SPI interface including STM32 MCU.

Hope that answers your question.

PS: but if your question: "Can I do CANFD communication using MCP2517FD?" the answer is yes:

And you need to contact Microchip on their forums for more details.
