PEAK-System GmbH PCAN Linux driver README LICENSE This file comes with the peak-linux-driver-x.y.z sources package provided by PEAK-System Technik GmbH, Germany, for free. Refer to the files LICENSE.gpl and LICENSE.lgpl for more information on its use and the rights granted to you with regard to its redistribution. Roughly: LICENSE.gpl defines the rights granted to the files that are saved into the "driver" sub-directory. LICENSE.lgpl defines the rights granted to the files that are saved into all the other sub-directories. with the exception of files that explicitly mention a different license. BUILD In addition to the standard tools that are needed to compile any C source files, the following packages (or their equivalent, depending on the current Linux distribution) might be mandatory to build one or the other component of this package: linux-headers-`uname -r` libpopt-dev g++ The two last one are only required for building some test applications located into the "test" sub-directory. Default (aka "chardev") build is done with: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make clean all This makes everything (that is, driver, libs and test programs) from scratch. This is the equivalent of: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make -C driver clean $ make -C lib clean $ make -C test clean $ make -C libpcanbasic clean $ make -C driver all $ make -C lib all $ make -C test all $ make -C libpcanbasic all On the other hand, building the "netdev" version of the driver is done with: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make netdev This is the equivalent of: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make -C driver netdev $ make -C lib $ make -C test $ make -C libpcanbasic In the same vein, building the RTDM version of the driver, libs and test programs for Xenomai 3.x is done with: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make xeno while building their RTDM version for RTAI 5.x is done with: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ make rtai INSTALL $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ sudo make install - or - # make install if the user has root privileges. This is the equivalent of: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ [sudo] make -C driver install $ [sudo] make -C lib install $ [sudo] make -C test install $ [sudo] make -C libpcanbasic install UNINSTALL $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ sudo make uninstall - or - # make uninstall if the user has root privileges. This is the equivalent of: $ cd peak-linux-driver-x.y.z $ [sudo] make -C driver uninstall $ [sudo] make -C lib uninstall $ [sudo] make -C test uninstall $ [sudo] make -C libpcanbasic uninstall
