LinCAN is a Linux kernel module that implements a CAN driver capable of working with multiple cards, even with different chips and IO methods. Each communication object can be accessed from multiple applications concurrently.

It supports RT-Linux, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6 with fully implemented select, poll, fasync, O_NONBLOCK, and O_SYNC semantics and multithreaded read/write capabilities. It works with the common Intel i82527, Philips 82c200, and Philips SJA1000 (in standard and PeliCAN mode) CAN controllers.

LinCAN project is part of a set of CAN/CANopen related components developed as part of OCERA framework.

What's New in This Release:
Some more fixes were made in SJA1000 bus-off recovery.
The i82527 IRQ stuck problem was fixed.
The module was updated and tested up to kernel version 2.6.17 (rc4).
Minimal chip information was added in /proc/can.
Support for NSI CAN PCI was contributed.
