Hi,

Yes you should use the can-utils tools:

GitHub - linux-can/can-utils: Linux-CAN / SocketCAN user space applications

Note that depending on which distribution you are using, there's mostly already support for it:

Ubuntu – Details of source package can-utils in xenial

meta-openembedded - Collection of OpenEmbedded layers

Here is a good article on how to use it:

canbus – Gateworks

Regards,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually I want to use CAN protocol stack on Target, Not in native machine (x86). Instead of CAN utils is there any stack I can use???

Hi,

Yes, my previous post is pointing to the can-utils tools for the TARGET. This is what you should use.
