can to ethernet gateway

[robotguy1]

Hello, does the driver handle the can to ethernet gateway the same way as the can to usb adapter? Meaning that I can directly interface with my can devices trough can0, can1 etc..? (As with the usb adapter). Or do I have to use a protocol to translate my can-messages before i send them downstream to my can devices?

Hi,

under Windows we offer the Virtual PCAN-Gateway software tool, which will handle the PCAN-Ethernet interfaces similar as a direct connected PCAN-PC-interface. Unfortunately this option is not available under Linux. Here you have to write an own application using the Ethernet protocol definitions:

Thank you! Would it work to have a gateway at each end of the ethernet cable, and then just treat it as regular canbus from both side, and let the gateways to the protocol conversion?

Yes, this is possible. Please see quick start guide page 8 for more details:
