Hi,
I need help with install drivers for PCAN-PCI Express on old version Red Hat.
I have RedHat machine with installed PCAN-PCI (IPEH-002066)
Today we need replace PCAN-PCI to PCAN-PCI Express(IPEH-003026), but I can't install drivers, latest drivers don't compiling on this OS.

Hi,

sorry, but we don't support such old kernel version 2.4 with our latest drivers. Please use a PCI or USB based PCAN device on such an old system.

regards

Michael

Thank you!
Can you advise me, what solution we can choose from products your company?
We use SCADA-software that works through winkonvis, according this: CGI<->HTTP<->CAN<->some devices.
In my new server there is no PCI, only PCI-E.
winkonvis dosn't support USB based PCAN?
Or we can try this - PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR (IPEH-004010) ?

Hi,

if this software is fixed to use PCI devices, I see no solution for your problem. Why not using a newer version of Linux?

regards

Michael

What version of the KERNEL does PCI-e support start with?
What version of the DRIVERS does PCAN-PCI Express support start with?

The kernel driver (SocketCAN) will make no sense, because it looks like you are using the peak-linux-driver in chardev mode, isn't it?

But for your info: the PCAN-PCI-Express IPEH-003026 (FPGA version) will be supported by the kernel since kernel 3.4 and with peak-linux-driver-7.5.

Michael

Yes, we are using peak-linux-driver in chardev mode.
We are bought this card because the written support of kernel 2.4.
It's so sadly for us.
Thank you for help!

Hi,

from your first post I can see that you are using a peak-linux driver from the year 2002 (!). We don't have this driver anymore in our archive, but please try the following patch:

open \src\pcan_pci.c and modify:

#define PCAN_PCI_DEVICE_ID 0x0001

to

#define PCAN_PCI_DEVICE_ID 0x0003

rebuild the driver and check if the PCAN-PCI Express card will be detected by the driver.

regards

Michael

Thank you!
It works!
