issue by using the pcan-usb x6

[pablo_chen]

I try to install the peak-linux-driver-8.10.0, but failed. and the reasons for failure are as follows. the output contain 'Nothing to be done for 'install'.' And I can't modprobe pcan.

SO I thought whether ubuntu18.04 does not need to install the driver? And when I input the code show in the home page and ouput as follow.

Code: Select all

grep PEAK_ /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCIEFD=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCI=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCIEC=y
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_USB=m

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep ^peak
peak_usb               45056  0

SO is that mean i don't need setup the driver any more?

if you use a new Kernel, the driver for SocketCAN (NetDev) is already included - nothing to do..simply use it.
If you want to use the ChardDev driver, you have to compile it - as you did . Please folow the documentation how to compile and use CharDev driver.
