Thanks @charlie-x

For error bc: not found when executing make prepare modules_prepare -j $(expr $(nproc) - 1), please refer to here by sudo apt-get install bc.

And for selecting vcan and can after executing make menuconfig -j $(expr $(nproc) - 1), please refer to here.

Hi @charlie-x @yves-chevallier @david-yyongning. Thanks for your great suggestion!

I am currently encountering the exception that all these commands are executed successfully without errors but running the last line candump -c -c -ta vcan0 has no responses, no logs and no exceptions and can only exit by ctrl+c.

and running sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: tbf rate 300mbit burst 256kb latency 800ms reports Error: Specified qdisc not found.

Could you tell me how can I fixed it? Thanks!
