Linux & PCAN-USB: PCAN Interface Not Found

Post by BetsyC » Wed 6. Apr 2022, 14:56

Hello,
I have PCAN- IPEH-002021 which has a stable, solid LED light. I have checked that the driver is installed to the latest version. In the Linux Terminal when I type

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep ^peak
peak_usb        45056  0
When I am opening the program which uses the PCAN, it says PCAN Interface Not Found. Can you please tell me what am I missing?

I have already tried

Code: Select all

grep PEAK_ /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCI=m
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_PCIEC=y
CONFIG_CAN_PEAK_USB=m
I have used the same PCAN device on the same laptop where it was working. So I am unsure what am I missing.

Hi,

at the moment you are using the kernel included SocketCAN driver peak_usb and you can use it with the SocketCAN can-utils. Maybe your program runs only with the chardev driver interface, then you have to install the peak-linux-driver. Please see our Linux Website for more details.
