+## LinCAN Quick Build Instructions
+
+There are more options to build LinCAN driver.
+The first one is to use standalone driver
+module build. The latest version of standalone 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 other option is to build LinCAN driver as part
+of the whole OrtCAN tree
+
+    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ortcan/ortcan-top
+    cd ortcan/
+    git submodule update --init
+    make default-config
+    make
+
+The default configuration options should be overridden by user specified
+options in toplevel "config.omk" file before final "make" invocation.
+The choices 'y'/'n' can be specified to enable or disable build
+of specified hardware/board support, it would be next line in "config.omk"
+file for [[tscan1|boards/tscan1]] card for example
+
+    CONFIG_OC_LINCAN_CARD_tscan1=y
+
+If the build should target other then actually running kernel then
+*LINUX_DIR* option in "config.omk" file is used to specify location,
+where kernel has been build. If a build for non-native architecture
+is required then cross-compiler binaries have to be specified
+
+    LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6-mpc5200-build
+    CC=powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc
+    CXX=powerpc-linux-gnu-g++
+    AR=powerpc-linux-gnu-ar
+    LD=powerpc-linux-gnu-ld
+
+## LinCAN installation and use
+
+Driver can be load into kernel directly from build directory.
+Example for pcm3680 PC/104 card
+
+    insmod _compiled/modules/lincan.ko hw=pcm3680 io=0x200 irq=7,11
+
+The board is non-plug and play and that is why all parameters has
+to be specified. Only board hardware type (i.e. hw=pcican-q) and
+zero/automatic I/O address are required (io=0) for PCI and other
+PnP cards. The boar hardware identifiers and corresponding io locations
+are separated by comma in the case of multiple boards used.
+
+The driver can be installed into system
+
+    mkdir /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra
+    cp _compiled/modules/lincan.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra
+    chown root:root /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/lincan.ko
+    depmod -a
+
+and then load by modprobe
+
+    modprobe lincan hw=pcm3680 io=0x200 irq=7,11
+
+or setup to autoload after boot (configuration style for Debian based system)
+
+    echo "lincan hw=pcm3680 io=0x200 irq=7,11" >/etc/modules
+
+Next line grants CAN driver access to the all regular system users
+included in users group
+
+    echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="can",GROUP="users",MODE="0660"' >/etc/udev/rules.d/10-lincan.rules
