+CANEXCEL
+--------
+
+CANEXCEL supports CAN Classic (CAN 2.0) and CAN FD modes. Remote transmission
+request is not supported.
+
+Note that this board does not currently come with CAN transceivers installed for
+the CANEXCEL ports. To facilitate external traffic, you will need to add a CAN
+transceiver. Any transceiver pin-compatible with CAN 2.0 and CAN FD protocols
+can be used.
 
-Currently, the CANXL transceiver is not populated in this board. So CAN transceiver
-connection is required for running external traffic. We can use any CAN transceiver,
-which supports CAN 2.0 and CAN FD protocol.
+FlexCAN
+-------
 
-CAN driver supports classic (CAN 2.0) and CAN FD mode. Remote transmission request is
-not supported as this feature is not available on NXP S32 CANXL HAL.
+FlexCAN supports CAN Classic (CAN 2.0) and CAN FD modes.
