Note that Beaglebone uses TI's AM335x SOC which has D_CAN peripheral vs the Beagleboard Which uses TI's AM37x SOC and it does not have CAN peripheral integrated. AM3517 SOC has HECC CAN peripheral which is different than D_CAN found on AM335x. Both HECC and D_CAN drivers have been submitted to the linux-can list and HECC is already mainline - D_CAN driver has been submitted to this list and is undergoing review - it will be merged with the C_CAN driver shortly. TI's HECC driver: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/can/ti_hecc.c;h=4accd7ec69543facab276fe3d6d2fd8b902c3604;hb=HEAD D_CAN driver submission: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg67538.html Regards, Anant _______________________________________________ Socketcan-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/socketcan-users
