CAN bus driver - ErtiWinter - 08-27-2016

Hello

Will the Can bus driver be included in the Debian Linux system.
I can use mcp251x on Raspberry PI2 with the socket can interface.
On Raspberry it is also possible to use Virtual Can interfaces (vcan).

Regards,
Erti

longsleep just added several new drivers|devices to his last kernel upload.

... you will have to look to see if the vcan stuff is there.  You could also drop him a line requesting it.



Edit:  longsleep told me on irc that anyone of course is free to look on github to see what is included; he publishes all there.  Also, you could make a pull request on Github.



Edit:  This is the link to longsleep's page on github.  

It might be a good idea to use issue tracker to recommend an addition, if necessary. You do need to have a github account to do these activities , but its free , and its easy !   Shy
