Hello,

which PEAK hardware are you using? Please post a picture of the device. Please also post the output of uname -a

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delayed response.

I am using the PEAK-USB (https://www.peak-system.com/PCAN-USB.199.0.html?&L=1)

And the output of uname -a is
Linux pop-os 6.2.6-76060206-generic #202303130630~1683753207~22.04~77c1465 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed M x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks
Liang

Hi,

do you like to use the SocketCAN driver or do you want to use the chardev interface? If you want to use the SocketCAN interface, there is no need to install our peak-linux-driver on that system. The kernel already has the driver for the PCAN-USB available as module.

regards

Michael

It would be nice to use the chardev interface to access the Peak-related CAN libraries. The SocketCAN seems to be very low-level, hard to use, and without any wrapper. Thanks

Hi,

ok, which Linux distro do you use?

regards

Michael

Hello,

This error is an error that comes when installing a to recent kernel. As said, you're running gcc v11 but the kernel Makefile makes usage of a gcc v12 option.

I would suggest you to install gcc v12 first.
