Unable to compile the Peak Driver 8.7 on a NVIDIA TX1

[vjexposito]

Hello,

I have some problems with the installation of the Peak driver on a NVIDIA TX1. When I compile the driver in the standard way (make or make -C driver) I have no problem and everything seems to work. If I use the option: NET=NETDEV_SUPPORT, I get the following output.

Code: Select all

And, although, I can install the driver; I got an error every time I plug in the adapter.

Output two:

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem? I have tried the proposed ones from the forum but I could not find a way to run the adapter on the TX1. I am able to use the adapter without any problem on a Ubuntu 16.04 VM.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I don't know if your TX1 boots on Grub. If it does, please check if CAN is enabled in your Kernel config:

Code: Select all

$ grep CONFIG_CAN /boot/config-`uname -r`

If it doesn't, you might get the config of your current Kernel with:

Code: Select all

$ zcat /proc/config.gz

(if the option had been configured, which is not the case under Ubuntu, for example)

You should at least see:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CAN=m
CONFIG_CAN_DEV=m
...

Hello Stéphane,

Thanks for the fast answer. Unfortunately, it seems that CAN is not enabled in my TX1. I get these messages when I check the kernel configuration.

Code: Select all

$ grep CONFIG_CAN /boot/config-`uname -r`
grep: /boot/config-4.4.38-tegra: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_CAN is not set

How could I enable CAN in my kernel?

Thanks again in advance,
Regards

Hello,

Please first get support from the provider of your Nvidia TX1. Either he will be able to provide you a Kernel with the CAN options enabled, or he should be able to provide you the whole build environment to rebuild your own. In that last case, then you'll have to run:

Code: Select all

$ make menuconfig

and select:

Code: Select all

[*] Networking support  --->
    <M>   CAN bus subsystem support  --->
        <M>   Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)
         CAN Device Drivers  --->
            <M> Platform CAN drivers with Netlink support
            [*]   CAN bit-timing calculation

Hello Stéphane,

I will try it. Thanks for your help.
