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:
