This is a hard fork of https://github.com/kobolt/usb-can.
It supports adapters like the one below.
This fork adds support for:
- SocketCAN Api: This enabled usage of this adapter like a native adapter.
- Extended Frames: Extended Frames now can be used.
- Installation via make
The adapters can be found everywhere on Ebay nowadays, but there is no official Linux support. Only a Windows binary file stored directly on GitHub.
When plugged in, it will show something like this:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter
And the whole thing is actually a USB to serial converter, for which Linux will provide the 'ch341-uart' driver and create a new /dev/ttyUSB device. So this program simply implements part of that serial protocol.
