+## 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://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/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://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ortcan/ortcan
+    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]] 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
+
