Support for CAN cards from Softing Gmbh & some cards
|
|
from Vector Gmbh.
|
|
Softing Gmbh CAN cards come with 1 or 2 physical busses.
|
|
Those cards typically use Dual Port RAM to communicate
|
|
with the host CPU. The interface is then identical for PCI
|
|
and PCMCIA cards. This driver operates on a platform device,
|
|
which has been created by softing_cs or softing_pci driver.
|
|
Warning:
|
|
The API of the card does not allow fine control per bus, but
|
|
controls the 2 busses on the card together.
|
|
As such, some actions (start/stop/busoff recovery) on 1 bus
|
|
must bring down the other bus too temporarily.
