Unable to compile peak-linux-driver on NVIDIA JTX2(64-bit ke

[mkuttig]

Hello @all,

I would like to use a PCAN-USB device to communicate with my motor control. Actually I use a NVIDIA Jetson TX2 with Ubuntu 16.04.

After the download, I tried to compile the driver:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-`uname -r`
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get install module-assistant
$ make -C driver

The compilation process ends as follows:

Code: Select all

make: Entering directory '/home/nvidia/Desktop/CAN/peak-linux-driver-8.4.0/driver'

I have unfortunately no idea what it can be and hope for your help.

Best regards

Hi,

The error is produced by the fixdep script of your Kernel header package. It is not an error of our pcan driver. It looks like NVIDIA is used to this...

Try this, please:

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
$ sudo make modules_prepare

Then retry to build the pcan driver.

Regards,

Stéphane
