CAN won't show up in /dev. You'll need to lookup how to setup socketcan stuff. But if you're seeing those dmesg messages, the actual bus is enabled. Annoyingly it does flood dmesg with those messages

Based on your dmesg, sounds like your bus is enabled

I've been using CAN on mine for a while, it's pretty solid. Though I made my own overlay (I'm still running a testing image which doesn't seem to have come with the can overlays) For the can1-m1 pins: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&can1>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&can1m1_pins>; assigned-clock-rates = <0x1dcd6500>; }; }; }; (note I increased the clockrate to 500MHz there, the default is 200MHz. Dunno if there's any harm, but I've been running like that for a few months without issue)

I was able to just flash armbian to my ssd using etcher via an nvme to usb adapter, and it booted as normal.

@berin Even without a heatsink, this thing runs cooler than pretty much any other SBC I've tried. Highest I've seen was like 45C
