Hi all,
I am working on vehicle body control system with can-bus as my BE final
project.
It contains three parts.
1.CAN chip driver
2.CAN-bus protocol stack
3.UI
The problem is that I already have written the CAN chip driver as  a
character device driver using IO-simulated SPI.
So with this character driver API open() read() write() ioctl(), I start to
wonder where can I put my protocol stack?
Or should rewrite the driver in network device frameworks?
I strongly recommend you to have a look at Socket CAN ([1]).

thanks,
Daniel.
