Kvaser leaf light

[Ralph Potztal <ralph.potztal@espros.com>]

Hi there, 

I'm trying hard to setup the Kvaser Leaf Light HS v2 with SocketCan on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 workstation. Unfortunately I failed so far and therefor wanted to ask you, if you can give me some help.

My goal is to use the leaf together with wireshark to spy a can bus in one of our automated test systems.

How I'm trying to set it up:
- loading kernel modules:
# modprobe can
# modprobe can_raw
# modprobe can_bcm
# modprobe kvaser_usb
# modprobe vcan

- plug the leaf

- check if the leaf is there:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bfd:0120 Kvaser AB

-trying to set up the ip link:
# ip link set up can0
Cannot find device "can0"
# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:22:68:3a:5f:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

This is where I fail, I cannot get a device can0 to set up. It works perfectly fine with the vcan virtual device, but not with the leaf.

Do you have any idea what I'm missing or doing wrong. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Btw: The leaf firmware is up to date. 

Many thanks and best regards,

Ralph
