18 Jan 2013 cansetup 1 The GPSD Project GPSD Documentation cansetup init the can interface of some known CAN hardware for the use with gpsd and NMEA2000 cansetup -n control -s speed module_name interface_name cansetup -h cansetup -v cansetup will initalise an CAN interface so that it can be used as an interface to a NMEA2000 network. Note: It need root permissions to load modules and change the CAN baudrate. The program accepts the following options: -h Display brief help text. -v Display version of cansetup. -n Set the network number. The default is 0. -s Set the baudrate to communicate with the serial line CAN hardware. The default is 38400 baud. The parameter module_name is mandatory. The socket can driver module module_name.ko will be loaded. cansetup recognize the following module names: plx_pci esd_usb2 vcan slcan The parameter interface_name and -s speed can used here. beaglebone The module dcan needed for the beaglebone ist part of the known linux kernels, so no module is loaded here. The parameter interface_name is needed for slcan hardware only. It gives the name of the serial device the SL CAN hardware is connected. The default is /dev/ttyUSB0. sudo cansetup plx_pci Attempt to load the module plx_pci and initialise net 0 for the connection to a NMEA2000 network. It will set the baudrate to 250kBits. sudo cansetup -n 1 plx_pci As above, but use net 1. sudo cansetup -s 38400 slcan /dev/ttyUSB0 Attempt to load the module slcan and talk to the hardware with 38400 baud connected to port /dev/ttyUSB0. cansetup -h Display a brief help.. cansetup -v Display version of cansetup. Not known. gpsd8, gps1, libgps3, libgpsd3. Reinhard Arlt reinhard.arlt@t-online.de.
