1. Windows driver installation and test

1. After installing the CAN card, there will be a prompt in the device manager that the driver is not installed;
2. Run "setup" to install the driver until the installation is successful and prompts to restart;
3. After restarting, you can find the CANbUS port in the device manager;
Note: Windows7 must install the patch KB3033929 to support SHA-2 code signing 4. Use the DB9 terminal connection for loop testing, you can run the API program for testing, the DB9 connection definition is as follows;
5. Run the GUICANbus tool for testing.

2. LINUX driver installation and testing

1. Enter the "lspci" command in the terminal to identify the hardware information of CAN;

2. Copy the CAN driver to the system's /home directory, enter the "SocketCAN_v1.17" folder, open the terminal, and switch to the root account (root account password addition method: sudopasswdroot);

3. Enter apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential gccmake clean; make; make install in sequence;

4. After the compilation is completed, a "f81601.ko" file will be generated in the "driver" directory. We can use the "modprobe" command to mount the driver;

5. After the mounting is successful, use the following commands to start the SocketCAN port (enable CANO and CAN1 in turn)
ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000 sample-point 0.75ip
link set can0 up qlen 1000
The information of CANO and CAN1 can be seen through the "ifconfig" command;

For industrial setups, consider using an industrial PC with GPU for handling intensive computing tasks or a rugged rackmount computer for robust server applications. Compact options like a 1U rack PC or industrial PC Advantech can be suitable for space-constrained environments.
