====== CAN/PCI-200 ======

The CAN/PCI-200 is a passive PCI CAN Controller made by ESD Electronic (esd electronic system design gmbh).

This driver is currently only available as a patch against lincan 0.3.3.
Lincan is part of the OCERA Project (Open Components for Embedded Real-time Applications). 
It can be built without the other OCERA components. The lincan drivers can be used under RT-Linux and plain Linux.




===== Patches: =====
  * esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.6 (for lincan CVS of 20070814): {{lincan-cvs20070814_esdpci200_0.0.6.patch.txt|}}
  * esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.6 (for lincan 0.3.3): {{lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.6.patch.txt|}}
    * Minor changes, removed debugging printk's
  * esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.5 (for lincan 0.3.3): {{lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.5.patch.txt|}}
    * Interrupt handling improved. Supports both channels now.
  * esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.4 (for lincan 0.3.3): {{:lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.4.patch.txt|:lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.4.patch.txt}}
    * released 20070606
    * this patch adds interrupt support, so the driver can now not only send, but also receive.
  * //esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.3 does not exist.//
  * esdpci200 Patch Version 0.0.2 (for lincan 0.3.3): {{:lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.2.patch.txt|:lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.2.patch.txt}}

=== Building it: ===
 //(plain Linux, without the rest of the OCERA stuff)//:
   tar -xzf lincan-0.3.3.tar.gz
   cd lincan-0.3.3
   patch -p1 < ../lincan033_esdpci200_0.0.4.patch.txt
   sh ./switch-omk2std
   make SUPPORTED_CARDS="esdpci200 virtual"
   mknod -m666 /dev/can0 c 91 0
   mknod -m666 /dev/can1 c 91 1

=== Running/Testing: ===
   insmod ./can.o hw=esdpci200 io=0 irq= baudrate=10
   cd utils
   ./rxtx  # and answer the questions

**Notes:** 
  * the baudrate module option specifies the baudrate in kHz (kBaud). Common rates are 10kBaud to 1MBaud:
    * 10kBaud
    * 20kBaud
    * 40kBaud
    * 50kBaud
    * 80kBaud
    * 100kBaud
    * 125kBaud
    * 200kBaud
    * 250kBaud
    * 400kBaud
    * 500kBaud
    * 666kBaud
    * 800kBaud
    * 1MBaud
  * Don't forget to have the CAN bus terminated at both ends of the cable (usually 120 Ohms) between CAN_H and CAN_L.
    * the CAN/PCI-200 has provisions to add a termination resistor to the board (not factory installed by default)
