Is your CAN4Linux setup working? It's good to have a working CAN station
to talk to.

I'm using mainline linux on my Bpi. Works quite well. I don't use the
graphics, though.

The driver by Gerhard Bertelsmann is still under review, you have to
apply the patches:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.can/8511/raw
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.can/8512/raw

to your kernel manually. You have to switch on the CAN driver in you dts
as documented in patch 8511. Note: When using the patch from the gmane
archive you have to replace the " <at> " by a "@" sign.
