We want to setup a simulation environment for our system running on Ubuntu so that we can use it together with our Windows based simulation tool suite. Currently we are running Ubuntu in a virtual machine using VirtualBox on a Windows host. In Ubuntu we use SocketCAN and we would like to continue to do so but instead of using real CAN hardware somehow setup CAN communication over Ethernet to the Windows host. I am new to CAN on Linux but I have been reading about SocketCAN and was wondering if we could use virtual can (vcan) somehow? I appreciate any help clarifying if, and if so, how SocketCAN over Ethernet could be achieved. If you need additional information about our scenario please let me know. Best regards Daniel
