[[!meta title="OCERA Real-Time CAN"]]

What is this?
=============

A collection of [CAN][wp] related tools developed at
[Czech Technical University in Prague][rtime].
The development of these components started in frame
of IST-2001 35102 [OCERA][ocera] European project.

The access to CAN bus requires supported hardware
interface. The project provides CAN device driver
for Linux and other embedded environments to gain
access to the network. The driver is named [[LinCAN|lincan]].

The common interface to access different CAN interfaces
and library to build higher level layers in implemented
in Virtual/Versatile CAN API library - [[libVCA|vca]].

## OtCAN Build Instruction for Actual GIT repository Sources 

To obtain and build sources of the latest development
version of former OCERA CAN components use

    git clone git://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ortcan/ortcan
    cd ortcan/
    git submodule update --init
    make default-config
    make

The configuration options for the build can be specified
in "config.omk" file. For x86_64 build line bellow
has to be added into config.omk

    CFLAGS+=-fpic

to build loadable modules (shared libraries/DLLs) corectly.
