sources can be obtained from GIT repository and build
by next commands
- git clone git://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ortcan/lincan
+ 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://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ortcan/ortcan
+ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ortcan/ortcan-top
cd ortcan/
git submodule update --init
make default-config
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
+file for [[tscan1|boards/tscan1]] card for example
CONFIG_OC_LINCAN_CARD_tscan1=y
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-mpc51200-build
+ LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6-mpc5200-build
CC=powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc
CXX=powerpc-linux-gnu-g++

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
