c++ receivetest error: Resource temporarily unavailable

[JokEtx]

Hi all,

I am trying to test the receivetest c++ example in an ARM board, and when running it I receive a 'Resource temporarily unavailable' in LINUX_CAN_Read() function.

So, I am going to explain the environment and all the steps I have done:
I have:
- An ARM board with own Linux distribution created with Yocto Project 1.6.
- PCAN-USB X6
- PCAN-USB

First of all, I have cross-compiled and installed the Peak Linux Drivers in my ARM board (v8.6.0 http://layers.openembedded.org/layerind ... peak-linux ). The drivers are loaded properly in my board (checked with 'lsmod | grep pcan').
The second step has been to crosscompile and install receivetest example on the board. Crosscompiled and installed without errors, time to test it.

I have connected the PCAN-USB from the laptop to PCAN-USB X6 and the PCAN-USB X6 to the ARM board. I am transmitting a message every second to the PCAN-USB X6 using the PCAN-View software ( configured to 500kBit/s) (see the attached picture). Status is OK in PCAN-View
I have also upped the interface in my board (ip link set can2 up type can bitrate 500000). The green LED of the CAN1 is blinking quickly, so data is transmitted via the connected CAN bus. If I do candump can2 the message is there every second.

So I run the receive_test example like this way: can_receive_test -f="/dev/pcan-usb_x6/0/can0" -e -n=100 , and the output of the program is the next one:

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

you have generated a Netdev driver (see can2 to 7 in /proc/pcan). To use the receivetest software, you need a Chardev driver interface. Please rebuild and reload the driver as chardev, to solve that problem.

Hi Michael,

I have compiled a project with SocketCan and know I can read the messages without problem.

Thank you for your fast response.

Best,

Hi,

I have now problems with writing messages through the CAN. Our device has two native CAN port integrated, and if I run my code using one of those native CAN ports, I can visualize the messages I send in the 'Receive Tab' of PCAN-View.

But, If i try to send the message via the PCAN-USB X6, I get a 'write: No buffer space available'.
Output of cat /proc/pcan is:

Hi,

which appliction do you use under LInux? Which lib do you call?
For me it looks like you still try to use a pcan lib or pcanbasic lib application with a netdev driver. As written above, you need to generate a chardev driver to use the chardev libs.
