PCAN driver rx issue on linux [ ubuntu 14.04]

[parai]

Hello:
I have built and installed the pcan linux driver with version 7.15.2, I can use the pcanbasic library to transmit messages but I can't receive any message by the API Can_Read.
so can you tell me what's wrong and how to fix?

Hi,

please post the output of cat /proc/pcan

could be a typical chardev/netdev issue like:

or

PCANBasic will only work on a chardev driver.

Here is the cat /proc/pcan result

so according to your reply, should I build the driver as chardev? or there is other way to fix this issue, can you give any sample code use the netdev to send and receive message?

Hi,

PCANBasic API will only work with the chardev driver. When you want to work with the NetDev/SocketCAN driver, you can use the can-utils tools.
