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.

• 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
  • 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

(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

 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)
