Well, U-Boot is a bootloader and I strongly suggest to use Linux for
that purpose. Nevertheless, maybe a simple generic CAN framework could
be useful for both, normal testing purposes and your special app. Some
time ago I wrote a simple framework supporting the SJA100 and the
i82527. I will try to find it now.
