Linux : Installing the Peak driver for USB/PCI - CAN board
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Mandrake 10.2 edition 2005, kernel 2.6.11)

One of the advantage to use the driver developped by Peak-system is
the common api for all the boards USB or PCI, and the systems : Win32
(2k, XP, ...) and Linux (2.4, 2.6)


1 - Download the driver
-----------------------
http://www.peak-system.com/linux/



2 - Installation
-----------------
# Uncompress
tar xvzf peak-linux-driver.3.21.tar.gz
cd  peak-linux-driver-3.21
Read the Peak intallation document.
su root
make clean
make
make install

modprobe pcan

3 - Test
--------
cd test
./receivetest -f=/dev/pcan0  
connect the board to generator of can message.

If it does not receive the message, put a 120 ohm resistance in the network.




======================================
What does "make install" ?

cp pcan.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/misc/pcan.ko
cp pcan_make_devices /usr/local/bin/pcan_make_devices
if test -z ; then\
        cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf~;\
        echo ""                                               >> /etc/modprobe.conf;\
        echo "# pcan - automatic made entry, begin --------"  >> /etc/modprobe.conf;\
        echo "# options pcan type=isa,sp           # see documentation"  >> /etc/modprobe.conf;\
        echo "install pcan /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcan; /usr/local/bin/pcan_make_devices 2"                           
            >> /etc/modprobe.conf;\
        echo "# pcan - automatic made entry, end ----------"  >> /etc/modprobe.conf;\
