Part Number: TCAN4550

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

in another post from the 4th of February 2019 I read of a Linux driver for the TCAN4550 which is in development.

Is it possible to get this driver somewhere?

Regards,

Konstantin

Hello Konstantin,

The current driver can be pulled from the following repository:

http://git.ti.com/git/ti-analog-linux-kernel/dmurphy-analog.git

(Note that this link will not open with a standard internet browser; it is intended for a git client.)

The relevant branch in this repository is called tcan_upstream.

The driver is still undergoing review with the maintainer in order to merge upstream into the kernel, but it is fully functional at the moment and can be compiled by a user as a kernel module for use in their systems.

Regards
Max

Hi Max,

I'm also very interested in the drivers, but as the documentation in the repository is rather sparse, I'm having quite some troubles setting it up.
Could you maybe add a bit more detail on how to compile, load and configure the kernel module?

Any support on this issue is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Unfortunately our team's expertise is more on the hardware side, and so our ability to support the Linux driver is a bit limited. I don't think we could improve much beyond the kernel documentation online, though - you can find the section relevant to kbuild (which you would need to use in this case) here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/kbuild
