PCAN-PCI Express on Red Hat Linux 7.2

[timur]

Hi,
I need help with install drivers for PCAN-PCI Express on old version Red Hat.
I have RedHat machine with installed PCAN-PCI (IPEH-002066)
Today we need replace PCAN-PCI to PCAN-PCI Express(IPEH-003026), but I can't install drivers, latest drivers don't compiling on this OS.

Hi,

sorry, but we don't support such old kernel version 2.4 with our latest drivers. Please use a PCI or USB based PCAN device on such an old system.

Thank you!
Can you advise me, what solution we can choose from products your company?
We use SCADA-software that works through winkonvis, according this: CGI<->HTTP<->CAN<->some devices.
In my new server there is no PCI, only PCI-E.
winkonvis dosn't support USB based PCAN?
Or we can try this - PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR (IPEH-004010) ?

Hi,

if this software is fixed to use PCI devices, I see no solution for your problem. Why not using a newer version of Linux?

What version of the KERNEL does PCI-e support start with?
What version of the DRIVERS does PCAN-PCI Express support start with?

[M.Maidhof]

The kernel driver (SocketCAN) will make no sense, because it looks like you are using the peak-linux-driver in chardev mode, isn't it?

But for your info: the PCAN-PCI-Express IPEH-003026 (FPGA version) will be supported by the kernel since kernel 3.4 and with peak-linux-driver-7.5.

Yes, we are using peak-linux-driver in chardev mode.
We are bought this card because the written support of kernel 2.4.
It's so sadly for us.
Thank you for help!

Hi,

from your first post I can see that you are using a peak-linux driver from the year 2002 (!). We don't have this driver anymore in our archive, but please try the following patch:

open \src\pcan_pci.c and modify:

#define PCAN_PCI_DEVICE_ID 0x0001

to

#define PCAN_PCI_DEVICE_ID 0x0003

rebuild the driver and check if the PCAN-PCI Express card will be detected by the driver.
