AM6442: Help in CAN interface of the AM64x SK EVM board , with the AM6442B processor

Hi,

Which SDK are you using? Linux or MCU+? Is Linux the OS you are planning on using?

Best Regards,

We are using the linux sdk as of now , but any method of using the CAN interface would be appreciated 

Hi,

If you are using Linux the default file system contains the support for CANUTILs which are applications that can be used to send and receive CAN frames. Please note that with the SK-EVM you will need to add an external CAN transceiver.

Here are some links to documentation on using CAN on the AM64. This first link is from the Linux kernel user's guide.

At the moment we do not have a dedicated DTS example on how to enable CAN on the AM64. Here is the example from the AM62 which could be modified to support the AM64.

This is the DTS from the GP version of the EVM that could serve as another example.
