Hi,

I am trying to use the CAN on my CC6 and I have a little question.  
Is there a full documentation on CAN available somewhere. I already saw the ones on the digi website but I am looking for some example of how to use the CAN.  
I already tested the can\_test programme. I would like to send message to the CAN without setting a data pattern. Is it possible?

Thanks for your answers.

cc6 uses standard Linux driver and it’s use is not specific to imx6. There is a lot of documentation online on how to use CAN Linux driver. here is one example:
