[How to use a CAN module on the NanoPi M4]

Thanks for the reply,

There is no sign of CAN bus support and I am not sure this will be working anytime soon.

 

When I said Raspberry Pi I should have specified that it was the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ not the original RPi. Are you saying that there is no support whatsoever for CAN bus on Rockchip RK3399 based SoCs? I have both a NanoPi M4 and a Rock Pi 4 and was going to try and set up the CAN module on either of them.

Or just use a board that supports CAN the way you expect. Allwinner A20 based boards are known to work (but not much of an upgrade from RPi), most likely H3 & H5 as well

 

Do these boards function the same was as the RPi 3B+? As in, is it the same method to activate the overlays by adding the lines below to the /boot/config.txt file?

 

dtparam=i2c_arm=on

dtparam=spi=on

enable_uart=1 dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25

dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay

[How to use a CAN module on the NanoPi M4]

I am currently trying to set up the PICAN GPS+ACC Rev B on my NanoPi M4 in order to receive CAN connections. I have previously set this up on a Raspberry Pi with no issues, but because the NanoPi does not have /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt I am at a loss at how to set up the module. Any information as to how I can go about using the module on the NanoPi would be much appreciated.

 

The guide I used to set up the module on the Raspberry Pi is here http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/images/raspberrypi/pican/PICANGPSACC_V1.pdf

 

Thanks
