    94  * [https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils can-utils] - a set of userspace community tools that are most commonly used for CAN over Linux (does not require libsocketcan to compile or run)
    95 
    96 Other Software:
    97   * canutils (PTX) - five tools that are used and referenced in 'PTX dist' board support packages. These tools are not very featureful and no longer maintained. The 'canconfig' tool is used to configure the CAN interface as an alternative to the 'ip' tool and uses libsocketcan
    98   * libsocketcan - a library for people that want to configure and control CAN interfaces from C code (instead of using the 'ip' tool from the iproute2 package

     97=== IMX6 Kernel drivers - SocketCAN
    10398SocketCAN is a set of open source CAN drivers and a networking stack contributed by Volkswagon Research to the Linux kernel and was formerly known as Low Level CAN Framework (LLCF).

    177 === PTX canutils and libsocketcan ===
    178 The PTX flavor of canutils (http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=tools/canutils.git) provides five tools that are commonly found referenced online which contains the 'canconfig' utility (which uses libsocketcan) to configure the CAN interface as an alternative to the 'ip' tool.
    179 
    180 Freescale still uses canutils and the canconfig utility thus you will find it in some of the IMX online documentation. Gateworks moved to the more popular full-featured and maintained can-utils configuration utilities for its OpenWrt BSP and its Yocto v1.6 BSP. If you are using an older version of OpenWrt or Yocto BSP and have the 'canconfig' utility you can use these configuration instructions.
    181 
    182 Configure the following on a Ventana board:
    183 {{{
    184 canconfig can0 bitrate 125000
    185 ifconfig can0 up       
    186 }}}
    187 
    188 To send from the Ventana board command prompt type:
    189 {{{
    190 cansend can0 -i0x100 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44
    191 }}}
    192 
    193 To recieve (on another Ventana board, or from !CanAnalyzer USB Device) type the command:
    194 {{{
    195 canecho can0 -v
    196 }}}
    197
