I did see a couple 2-year-old emai= ls in the Xenomai archive with PCI_VENDOR_ID_Hilscher, but I see none of th= at source code made it to 2.6.4. ./ksrc/drivers/can/README basically indic= ates support for only the SJA1000 CAN controller. > = > = > So I have two questions: > - Is is possible Hilscher's netX interface might be supported for CANOpen? > - Does anyone know if there are *any* supported CANOpen cards in the PCIe= Mini family? > = Note that CANopen is "just" a software layer on top of regular CAN hardware - just in case you restricted your hardware search needlessly. There are mini PCIe cards on the market with SJA1000 controller, e.g. by PHYTEC - adopting the existing driver is then not very tricky. I assume you already have the required CANopen bits in your software stack. Jan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
