tristate "CAN bus subsystem support"
help
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
communications protocol. Development of the CAN bus started in
1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH, and the protocol was officially
released in 1986. The CAN bus was originally mainly for automotive,
but is now widely used in marine (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical
applications. More information on the CAN network protocol family
PF_CAN is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.rst>.
If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the
specific driver for your controller(s) under the Network device
support section.

config CAN_RAW
tristate "Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)"
default y
help
The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via
the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in
most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw
socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames.
To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW.
config CAN_BCM
tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
default y
help
The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.
config CAN_GW
tristate "CAN Gateway/Router (with netlink configuration)"
default y
help
The CAN Gateway/Router is used to route (and modify) CAN frames.
It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and
msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly.
CAN frames can be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop).
They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured
by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables.

tristate "ISO 15765-2 CAN transport protocol"
help
CAN Transport Protocols offer support for segmented Point-to-Point
communication between CAN nodes via two defined CAN Identifiers.
This protocol driver implements segmented data transfers for CAN CC
(aka Classical CAN, CAN 2.0B) and CAN FD frame types which were
introduced with ISO 15765-2:2016.
As CAN frames can only transport a small amount of data bytes
(max. 8 bytes for CAN CC and max. 64 bytes for CAN FD) this
segmentation is needed to transport longer Protocol Data Units (PDU)
as needed e.g. for vehicle diagnosis (UDS, ISO 14229) or IP-over-CAN
traffic.
