The development of these components started in frame
of IST-2001 35102 [OCERA][ocera] European project.
The components has been used all over the world in different
-academic and production environments and they are maintained
-mainly by [Department of Control Engineering][dce] of [FEE][fel] faculty of [Czech Technical University in Prague][ctu]
-university. There is list of CAN related
-works - projects, CAN benchmarking and diploma thesis at
-[FEL CAN guidepost][fel-can] page. Some components like
-[[LinCAN|lincan]] driver has been used by industry for more
-than 15 years and some parts has been contributed or reused
-by Linux [SocketCAN][socketcan] subsystem.

+The most of OrtCAN components can be used even with both driver
