OCERA FreshMeat Sourceforge CAN, Linux, device driver Frantisek Vacek CTU vacek@rtime.felk.cvut.cz The LinCAN is an implementation of the Linux device driver supporting more CAN controller chips and many CAN interface boards. The driver roots can be traced to LDDK project. The OCERA version of the LinCAN driver adds new features, continuous enhancements and reimplementation of structure of the driver. The usage of the driver is tightly coupled to the virtual CAN API interface component which hides driver low level interface to the application programmers. Driver enables multiple opens of each communication objects from more Linux and RT-Linux applications. The message processing is based on the oriented graph of FIFOs concept. The LinCAN version 0.3.x has been successfully tested with - PC104 Advantech PCM3680 dual channel board on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel - PiKRON ISA card on 2.4.and 2.6 Linux kernels - PiKRON CAN extension board for PiMCX1 ARM BCC on 2.6 Linux kernels - BfaD DIMM PC card on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel - KVASER pcican-q on 2.6 Linux kernel - MICROSPACE msmcan on 2.4 Linux kernel with and without RT-Linux support - virtual board tested on all systems as well There is included support for more than 15 other boards in the LinCAN driver, but we do not possess these cards and cannot test support for these cards. The LinCAN make solutions tries to fully automate native kernel out of tree module compilation. Make system recurses through kernel Makefile to achieve selection of right preprocessor, compiler and linker directives. The cross-compilation is also possible. Read README file, please. Change current directory into the LinCAN driver source root directory ("cd lincan-dir") and invoke "make" and "make install". Then insert module into the running Linux kernel with parameters appropriate to your CAN card ("insmod can.o hw=pip5 irq=4 io=0x8000"). Please, read associated README file to find full description of module parameters.
