# # Controller Area Network ([31mCONFIG_CAN[0m) network layer core configuration # menuconfig [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m depends on [31mCONFIG_NET[0m tristate "CAN bus subsystem support" ---help--- Controller Area Network ([31mCONFIG_CAN[0m) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in 1991, mainly for automotive, but now widely used in marine (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical applications. More information on the [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m network protocol family PF_CAN is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.txt>. If you want [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m support you should say Y here and also to the specific driver for your controller(s) below. if [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m config [31mCONFIG_CAN_RAW[0m tristate "Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)" default y ---help--- The raw [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m protocol option offers access to the [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m bus via the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames. To receive/send raw [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m messages, use AF_CAN with protocol [31mCONFIG_CAN_RAW[0m. config [31mCONFIG_CAN_BCM[0m tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)" default y ---help--- The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring, sending of RTR frames, and cyclic [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m messages without permanent user interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts. You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments). To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol [31mCONFIG_CAN_BCM[0m. config [31mCONFIG_CAN_GW[0m tristate "CAN Gateway/Router (with netlink configuration)" default y ---help--- The [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m Gateway/Router is used to route (and modify) [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m frames on the fly. [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m frames can be routed between [31mCONFIG_CAN[0m network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. source "drivers/net/can/Kconfig" endif |
