Re: Simple CAN bus over ethernet interface

[Götz Pfeiffer via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello Richard,

we have been using EPICS and the CAN Bus at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin

for the last 25 years.

We started with VME Bus IOCs and vxWorks, later RTEMS.

However, we recently added support for Linux.

The newest version of our CAN Bus device support, MultiCAN,
runs with Linux and the PCAN-PCI Express FD card from PEAK-System.

We also support the ethercan-2 VME-IP Interface module from esd germany.

Maybe you will give it a try, the web page is here:

  https://mcan.sourceforge.io/index.html

You can start with "Demo", this has a script that builds an IOC with CAN bus

support and uses virtual CAN interfaces, so you don't need a physical
CAN interface for this.

Greetings

  Goetz
