RE: Resources for Linux SocketCAN

It is a device built around a Freescale i.MX25 chip, so the CAN controller
is integrated and Freescale provides a FlexCAN kernel driver.

 

Cheers,

Hi,

 

Start with :--

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocketCAN

 

check for this doc, on cia website :---

kleine-budde.pdf

www.can-cia.org/fileadmin/cia/files/icc/13/kleine-budde.pdf

 

Also go through :--

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/networking/can.txt

http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/kernel/2.6/Documentation/networki
ng/can.txt

 

 

By the way your network driver is based on on-chip or off-chip device ?

 

Regards,

 

Dinesh
