Problem in Drivers installation under Linux-Kernel 3.2.0

[matteo]

ok, now, with the API guide, i'm getting a little bit better. I thought I was supposed to find everything on the linux guide.
Btw, what dou tou mean for "fake"??

Code: Select all

*------------- PEAK-System CAN interfaces (www.peak-system.com) -------------
*------------- Release_20140723_n (7.12.0) Aug 13 2014 18:20:29 --------------
*---------------- [mod] [isa] [pci] [dng] [par] [usb] [pcc] -----------------
*--------------------- 1 interfaces @ major 250 found -----------------------
*n -type- ndev --base-- irq --btr- --read-- --write- --irqs-- -errors- status
32    usb -NA- ffffffff 255 0x001c 00000000 00000000 0000010c 00000000 0x0000

is exacly the output of my system....nothing faked.


Ps.

Code: Select all

m s 0x000002d0 6  0x01 0x01 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00              516492425 570

comes out after the change of the baudrate (that i did also previously, but it seems that i have to do it everytime i call cat /dev/pcan32)...still i don't understand what these "m s" are...at the position where the message ID is supposed to be written.

Also here

Code: Select all

x x 0x00000000 4  0x00 0x00 0x00 0x08                        155466769 065

, according to the API guide: what is x x?
should 0x00000000 be the msgtype....

Code: Select all

typedef struct
{
    DWORD ID;
    BYTE MSGTYPE;
    BYTE LEN;
    BYTE DATA[8];
} TPCANMsg;

in both cases the long hex number seems to me to be the ID...but, in this case...where is the msgtype

Thanks

fake is if you post this (what you have done)

Code: Select all

*n -type- ndev --base-- irq --btr- --read-- --write- --irqs-- -errors- status
0 pci can2 f7d00000 209 0x001c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0x0000

do not mix up the output which conmes directly from the driver with the struct used with the API. You as application developer will ALWAYS should use the API and so please study the samples which come with the API (receicetest.c transmittest.c etc.) There you will find your answers - but we told you this many times before...

The driver output is build like this - here part of the source code that you already have.
You see x --> any status message , m --> real CAN message , s --> standard frame (11Bit)

Code: Select all

int pcan_make_output(char *buffer, TPCANRdMsg *m)

  int i;
  char r_or_m, s_or_e;

  *buffer = 0;
  
  if (m->Msg.MSGTYPE & MSGTYPE_STATUS)
  {
    // any status frames are x-ed
    r_or_m = 'x';
    s_or_e = 'x';
  }

  if (m->Msg.LEN > 8)
  {
    for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
      sprintf(ptr, "---- ");
      rest--;
      ptr += 3;
    }   
  }
  else // print data
  {
    u8 ucLen;
    
    // don't print any data if it is a RTR message
    if (m->Msg.MSGTYPE & MSGTYPE_RTR)
      ucLen = 0;
    else
      ucLen =  m->Msg.LEN;
      
    for (i = 0; i < ucLen; i++)
    {
      sprintf(ptr, "0x%02x ", m->Msg.DATA[i]);
      rest--;
      ptr += 5;
    }
  }

  // else print 5 blanks for each not typed data
  rest *= 5;
  for (i = 0; i < rest; i++)
    *ptr++ = ' ';

  // print timestamp
  sprintf(ptr, " %11u %03u\n", m->dwTime, m->wUsec);
  
  // search the end
  while (*ptr) 
    ptr++;
