Bitbake recipe building socketcan for angstrom

Bitbake recipe building socketcan for angstrom

[rotesmofa]

Hallo everyone, 

I am fighting with Bitbaking Socketcan for Angstrom with a 2.6.32 Kernel for my 
Craneboard. 

Currently I have a basic lag of understanding for the *.bb files. I simply want 
to build socketcan for my board using either Eclipse with my Angstrom toolchain 
or using Bitbake. 


Can anyone guide me? I'am in India and have kind of a research project but there 
is no support and I'am a Hardware Guy ;-) 

Best regards

Regarding the kernel. It's rather old, doesnt't support much CAN
hardware and may have CAN related bugs. Better update to latest v3.6 or
newer.

If you want to use socketcan you have to switch on some kernel features:

	-> Networking support
	-> CAN bus subsystem support
		[ ] Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)
	-> CAN Device Drivers
		[ ] Platform CAN drivers with Netlink support

+ the driver you need.

No need to change any bitbake files.

If you need support for the userspace tools in openembedded/angstrom you
should contact they mailinglist.

Just build 'canutils' which is part of the meta-openembedded/meta-oe layer
