| PCI Canbus, looking for a Linux expert for upgrading the driver to kernel >v4.9 |
| (1/2) > >> |
| legacy:
hi when you work with a smart robotic-arm, it might happen you need to work with CanBus for controlling it. There some usb-to-can adapters out of there, but they are usually very expensive (250 euro), while this product often appears on eBay for cheap (30-50 euro). It's an EOL product, but it looks great and comes with a Linux kernel driver as well as a few application-examples with sources and documentation. Unfortunately, it only works for kernel <4, and needs some work for being updated to modern kernels. I'd like to use one of those for a hobbyist project: anyone with strong skills at kernel drivers? :-// |

Do you have the Linux kernel driver sources? The link you showed requires registration. You could email them to me, perhaps? I can't make any promises (not because of lack of skill, but because of burnt-out brain), but I'm willing to take a look. |

I can upload somewhere on DTB and give you the ticket via a private message here (I don't have your email). --- Quote from: Nominal Animal on March 24, 2019, 08:39:58 pm ---I can't make any promises (not because of lack of skill, but because of burnt-out brain), but I'm willing to take a look. --- End quote --- It's not a problem, and there is no deadline :D edit: super thank you in advance! |

ops. PM sent. I don't know if I can publish the package in public, so if someone needs/wants to read it, please contact me by PM and I will show the link for the download. In the meanwhile, I am going to write to the vendor, asking for the permission :D |
