1. Install git

1. Clone the repository https://github.com/InfluxTechnology/rexgen-socketcan.git

   git clone https://github.com/InfluxTechnology/rexgen-socketcan.git

2. Install gcc

1. Install make

1. Install can-utils

   This will install the necessary tools to acquire CAN data using SocketCAN

1. Open the rexgen-socketcan folder

2. Load the can-dev module

1. Run the do_make.sh script

1. Ignore any Warnings

2. Plugin the ReXgen Device

3. Reboot the device

Using SocketCAN

1. Before you can send and receive data, you need to configure the interface. To do this, you can use the 'ip' tool. For example, if you want to set the bitrate of 500Kbit (500000 bit) to the can0 interface, you can do this with

   "sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000"

   If you need to set CAN FD with a bitrate of 500Kbit and a data bitrate of 8Mbit

   "sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 8000000 fd on"

   We support loopback mode and listen-only mode. Typical socket can syntax is

   "sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 8000000 fd on loopback on|off"

   "sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 8000000 fd on listen-only on|off"

1. Clone the repository

git clone

1. Install raspberrypi-kernal-headers

About SocketCAN Driver

The SocketCAN driver allows you to use ReXgen devices as CAN interfaces within your socketCAN-based applications. For further information on SocketCAN, see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt

Getting started

Prerequisites: Make sure the following is installed before proceeding:

1. make

2. gcc

3. can-utils is required to use commands like candump/cansend etc

Make sure the can-dev module is loaded properly. You can check this with "lsmod | grep can-dev." If it is not loaded yet, you can do this with

"sudo modprobe can-dev"

Building and installing the driver while starting the script

"sudo ./do_make.sh"

   We also support CANFD non-ISO mode via fd-non-iso on|off

2. Now the bitrate is set, and you can start the interface by typing
