<p class="MsoNormal">There are some interested parties in CAN for RTEMS (but mostly of the volunteer type). Have a look at Pavel's message from March this year:

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
<br>
We have some upcoming projects which will use RTEMS and will require CAN.<br>
RTEMS doesn't have a CAN user interface and as far as I can see there is also no such thing in FreeBSD (please correct me if I'm wrong) which we could take in via rtems-libbsd.<br>
Now, our options are to just use keep everything internal and use some custom driver (maybe based on some micro controller implementations) or contribute some kind of CAN subsystem to RTEMS.<br>
I find the latter option more appealing, but then the question would be if we can use an API known from somewhere else like for spi and i2c and there doesn't seem to be a lot of choices:<br>
- SocketCan --> seems to be too much work to implement in RTEMS (would probably need a socket implementation as well). I found some discussions about an implementation for FreeBSD, but it seems to have died.<br>
- Can4Linux: Seems to be still maintained, the header file seems to be licensed under 3-Clause BSD. Is uses chardev, so it is probably reasonably easy to implement similar to spidev.<br>
<br>
Would there be any interest in having a can4linux implementation in RTEMS? Or are there other/better available APIs?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
