PCAN on Android

Hi,
i tried to follow the provided Steps on your Tutorial here:
http://www.peak-system.com/forum/viewto ... 363&p=1122
But i stuck after compling the module and load it via the command "insmod" into the kernel.
I dont know why but insmod works fine but modprobe doesn't find the file.
In the Tutorial u use mknod to create a node, but on my phone its already there.
since i can't communicate via echo with /dev/pcanusb0, i guess i do/did something wrong
I added a picture with the /proc/pcan and the other steps:
thanks in advance

Hi,
normally it should look like this:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 0 Aug 6 12:00 pcanusb0
please generate a new node again with:
mknod /dev/pcan0 c 180 0
chmod 666 /dev/pcan0
and test with pcan0

generating a new node worked. But changing rights didnt worked.
output: Unable to open /dev/pcan0: No such device
I dont really get it ... its even in the ls -la list:
crw------- root root 180, 0, 2014-08-06 13:26 pcan0

Hi,
so you are able to generate the device, but you are not able to change it. Looks like a permission problem. Sure you have full root access in your Android system?
can you please post the output of dmesg |grep pcan
regards

eeerrmmm stupid question: is there a another root than root? my handy has a normal user "u0_a65" and with the command su it gets to root. seems normal to me i guess.
also it says it doesnt find the file and not denied access.
but de dmesg output was a plain 1.
