Bringing up a CAN device using socketcan backend

Using a supported Linux CAN device:

# Find your interface name (e.g. can0)
ip link
# Configure bitrate
sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
# Bring the device up
sudo ip link set can0 up
# Optionally configure CAN termination
sudo ip link set can0 type can termination 1

Using slcand

Based on FTDI Serial driver
Requires slcand to "convert" serial device to SocketCAN.
Officially supported in Linux Kernel v2.6.38

# Create SocketCAN device from serial interface
sudo slcand -o -c -s8 -S1000000 /dev/ttyUSB0 can0
# Bring the device up
sudo ip link set can0 up

Using builtin Linux kernel virtual CAN module vcan

sudo modprobe vcan
sudo ip link add dev can0 type vcan
sudo ip link set can0 up
