PEAK-System Forum

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and have installed the PCAN-miniPCIe FD single channel into my system. I am using the built-in support for Peak and my code is Python using socketcan.
I have made sure the can, peak_pci modules are loaded, however when I try to add the interface as a CAN device it is not seen.
sudo ip link add dev can0 type can
Returns RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported, or can0 not found.

Any ideas?

Hi,

the PCAN-miniPCIE FD cards will be supported by the kernel SocketCAN driver since kernel 4.14. If you use an older kernel in your Ubuntu 16.04, update your kernel, or install the peak-linux-driver 8.8 and build it with the Netdev option.
