PCAN Driver Install on RPI

[carllwyman]

Hi,

I Have a PCAN USB , and I am trying to install the driver on the RPi, I have gone through older forums, but could not help me much. I am running 3.10.25+ I installed the linux headers for the same version, and installed libpopt as well. When i run make i get following output:

I have updated and upgraded (sudo apt-get update/upgrade) I have updgraded both g++ and gcc but does not seem to have resolved the issue. Could you tell me from your experience how i can fix this? Thanks.

Also i wanted to ask, that In the USER MANUAL its written that in new kernel socketCAN support is already there and we do not need to install the driver. Does it mean that in case the SOCKETCAN config in the kernel is enabled, the driver does not need to be installed?

1.

cc src/transmitest.cpp src/common.c src/parser.cpp -I. -I../lib -I../driver -L../lib -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -o transmitest -lpcan -lstdc++ -DNO_RT

You're trying to compile cpp with gcc, could you show the output of the following command in your rpi

Code: Select all

env
g++ --version
gcc --version

2. SocketCAN is supported ever from Linux 2.6. Run:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe configs
gunzip -c /proc/config.gz > ~/kernel.config
grep 'CAN' ~/kernel.config

and check the output for details.
Kernel has a driver for PCAN adpters but it's most likely your rpi doesn't include that module, so you have to manually compile it.

Hi carllwyman,

looks like you are using an older Raspian image with kernel 3.10. You also use an older peak-linux-driver 7.12 on that system.

I would suggest to use the latest peak-linux-driver-8.5.1 and also update to a newer image with kernel 4.x.

This should solve your problem, because my RPI3 is running with that configuration without problems

best regards
