This document assumes the use of Linux as the chosen development platform. Items in bold are highly recommended.
It is recommended to use SocketCAN when working with CAN bus on Linux. It is supported by the Linux kernel mainline and follows the Linux interface model, allowing you to use other network tools such as Wireshark. This also allows the creation of virtual CAN interfaces where no physical hardware is required to simulate or replay CAN messages.
- SocketCAN Linux kernel support - Linux >= 2.6
