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.

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

Hi,
thanks a lot and it works now!
