newbi Question: NMEA2000 and BeagleBone

[vklein]

Hi all,

I searched the list about using NMEA2000 ( a subclass of J1939) and a 
BeageBone-black.

Are there some newer infos how to install J1939 support on the BBB?

Are there preferred transceiver boards? I Think I need only one interface.

At the moment I use a Actisense NTG-1 USB and a Raspberry pi with the 
canboat software.

Regards

Victor

There are many cheaper CAN USB interfaces.
And of course you can use the integrated CAN in the BeagleBone.
You have to add a transceiver and for system security galvanic isolation.

Because canboat is open source, it should be easy to adopt the SocketCAN or 
can4linux CAN message format. In any case you don't need the J1939 software.
Only receiving NMEA frames is easy, decoding the PGNs requires knowledge of 
it.

Well, I have the TowerTech TT-3201 on a BeagleBone black.  It sorta
works.  I can generally get 2 of the 3 interfaces to work.  However, I
can't really recommend it as working out how to do this in straight
Debian instead of Angstrom has been a slog.


If I had to do it again, I'd probably try these guys.
http://www.logicsupply.com/components/beaglebone/capes/cbb-serial/

They update their user manual for it regularly, and they talk about
doing this with the latest Debian image (which you need for the latest
SocketCAN stuff).
