PEAK-System Forum

Thanks for your reply O. Hartkopp.

It works. Yay!!

I wasted a lot of hours trying to compile something I didnt need. Maybe no one else will have to.

Just to detail the answer,

dmesg
root@beaglebone:/var/lib/cloud9# dmesg | grep can
[ 12.079539] peak_usb 1-1:1.0 can0: attached to PCAN-USB ...

Also, I am getting the same error after installing the linux headers via the apt-get command.

apt-get install
root@beaglebone:~/peak-linux-driver-7.4# sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Thanks Michael for your response.

I think I prefer the SocketCAN drivers. What is the difference between the two implementations ?

Also, which version of the PeakCAN linux driver is suitable for my system ?

Dear Forum,

I have referred to the posts:
1. Howto install the PEAK Linux driver on a fresh Ubuntu
2. PCAN USB Driver for Beagle Bone Black with Ubuntu

and while the OP in the later post does say he moves to Debian eventually, the steps he mentioned to reach the solution did not work for me ...
