Adding /dev/canX in filesystem (iMX28 - Linux 2.6.35)

[emanuelec]

I use iMX28 + BSP L2.6.35_10.12.01. I configured kernel for using FlexCAN with CAN0 interface. I also added cantest and can4linux packages. I can powe up can device via ip command:

echo 250000 >> /sys/devices/platform/FlexCAN.0/bitrate

ip link set can0 up

and I am able to send and receive messages using cantest command:

cantest can0 71E#DEADBEEF --> send

cantest can0 & --> wait for message

but I don't have can0 device under /dev. So I cannot use, for example, utilities like can_send:

root@freescale ~$ can_send -Dcan0

open error 2;/dev/can0: No such file or directory

How can I add can0 device under /dev?

Thanks.

Emanuele, have you posted your question to netdev ye and got answer? If yes, we may close your DI.

Thanks, Yixing

I’m sorry but I’m not able to change the position of this question. I select “Move” (in the right side) and in “Community Area” (I see italian version, I don’t know the English tyranslation…) I don’t see “netdev” o something similar. How can I move this thread and where?

Thanks

My suggestion was for you to post to the following mailing lists:

linux-arm-kernel: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org

netdev:netdev@vger.kernel.org

OK! Thanks for all! I’m closing this thread in imxcommunity.

I am not a CAN expert, but I would suggest you to post this question to the arm kernel and netdev mailing lists.
