INTRODUCTION
============
The LinCAN is an implementation of the Linux CAN-bus device driver supporting
more CAN controller chips and many CAN interface boards. Its development
-has long history already. The OCERA version of the driver has new better
+has long history already. The OCERA/OrtCAN version of the driver has new better
designed internal structure, adds new features (as support for open by multiple
applications, select system call) and other enhancements.
-
+
The driver consist of four main layers:
- chip level manipulation routines
- board specific support
http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/
then it has been first rewritten by Arnaud Westenberg
http://home.wanadoo.nl/arnaud/
-now it is developed and maintained as part of OCERA framework
+The driver code undergone major redesign in a frame of the OCERA IST project
http://www.ocera.org/
+Actual driver version is maintained togther with other CAN/CANopen
+components as part of the OrtCAN project
+ http://ortcan.sourceforge.net/
I am unable to contact previous maintainer Arnaud Westenberg
(arnaud@wanadoo.nl). If you know something about him, I like
tested up to 2.6.17 (rc4). Minimal chip info in /proc/can.
Support for NSI CAN PCI contributed by Eric Pennamen.
-
+lincan-0.3.4 Some more fixes of SJA1000 buss-of recovery,
+(March 2009) Many enhancements and fixes. Tested up to 2.6.28 Linux kernel.
+
+lincan-0.3.5 Make system updates to build under latest Linux kernels,
+(October 2011) LinCAN core builds and tested with 2.6.35 and 3.0 Linux kernels.
+
The actual version of driver have been latest tested it with
- - PC104 Advantech PCM3680 dual channel board on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel
- - PiKRON ISA card on 2.4.and 2.6 Linux kernels
- - PiKRON CAN extension board for PiMCX1 ARM BCC on 2.6 Linux kernels
- - BfaD DIMM PC card on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel
- - KVASER pcican-q on 2.6 Linux kernel
- - MICROSPACE msmcan on 2.4 Linux and RT-Linux enabled kernel
- - Unicontrols PCAN ("unican"),PCAN-PCI ("unican-pci"), VCAN ("unican-vme")
+ - KVASER pcican-q on 2.6 and 3.0 Linux kernel
- EMS CPC-PCI cards ("ems_cpcpci")
- virtual board tested on all systems as wel
It takes more time to test driver with more cards.

Just type 'make' at the command line and driver module should compile

+The LinCAN releases use OMK make system, which requires
recent GNU make program version 3.81beta1 and above.
Makefiles can be switched to old ones by script

+COMPILATION from OrtCAN project GIT repository tree
+===================================================
-you can use our local copy
+There are more options to build LinCAN driver.
+The first one is to use stand-alone driver module build.
+The other option is to build LinCAN driver as part of the
+whole OrtCAN tree.
- http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/can/make-3.81beta1.tar.gz
+The latest version of stand-alone LinCAN sources can be
+obtained from GIT repository and build by next commands
+ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ortcan/lincan
+ cd lincan
+ ./build-lincan.sh

-The selection of required features and options can be specified before make
-command invocation. Lines containing required changes to config.omk-default
-file should be stored in config.omk file. The config.omk is not altered by
-OMK system and options defined there override values defined in
-config.omk-default file. GNU make program version 3.81beta1 or newer is
-required by OMK make-system. If this is problem, LinCAN driver can be
-compiled with use of old style Makefiles as well.

+COMPILATION options
+===================
+
+The options are defined in "config.omk" file for OMK based builds.
+File is looked for at directory where are build top directory,
+files "Makefile.rules" and "config.omk-default"
+located. To select card which is not enabled by default
+add line of next format to the "config.omk" file
+
+ CONFIG_OC_LINCAN_CARD_tscan1=y
+
+The cross-compilation and build against non-default kernel
+can be selected in "config.omk" file as well
