SocketCAN PCAN getting PCAN Timestamp

[Ales1000]

Hello,

I would like to ask you, is it somehow possible to get the same Timestamp using SocketCAN API as from PCAN Basic API?

Thank you.

Hello Ales,

Both SocketCAN and PCANBasic provide timestamping, although not the same mechanism is behind both APIs.

In short: Yes, both APIs will provide timestamps but they are handled
differently by both APIs.

Hello Ales,

You should take a look at the source for the can-util "candump" to see how timestamps are handled in SocketCAN.

https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/ ... /candump.c

Beyond that you can ask the SocketCAN community for help regarding this. We do not maintain SocketCAN, we can only provide limited support for application related questions regarding SocketCAN.

Best Regards
