You will find the contact information on the web at .   ================================================================ Version info ================================================================     * Tested under x86_64 SMP Ubuntu 14.04 x32/x64 (3.13.0-32-generic/3.13.0-32-generic).    * Tested under x86_64 SMP Ubuntu 16.04 x32/x64 (4.4.0-generic/4.4.0-generic).    * Tested under x86_64 SMP Ubuntu 18.04 x64 (4.15.0-38-generic).    * Compiled with gcc version 4.6.3, 4.8.0, 5.4.0, 7.1.1, 7.2.0, 7.3.0 and 8.2.1.    * Used glibc version 2.15, 2.17, 2.19, 2.24, 2.26, 2.27 and 2.28.   ================================================================ General information ================================================================ System requirements: Linux 2.6.29 or later.  ================================================================ Known problems ================================================================    * Firmware bug in old Leaf firmware will make the driver report      the wrong bus parameters when queried. Update the Leaf firmware.     * Virtual CAN driver will not behave as it perhaps should when      it is "off bus".     * Single channel PCIcanII may report two channels.     * It is possible to continue "using" a driver while it is      trying to shut down. Nothing useful will happen, but the driver      can be blocked from unloading indefinitely.     * While the driver implements auto response functionality for all      hardware, the same is not true for auto tx. The latter is only      available if there is firmware support in the device.      (This is the same as under Windows.)   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.31   (24-FEB-2020) =========================================================================== * Interchanged calls to canSetBusOutputControl() and canGetBusOutputControl()   using CANlib and t is now consistent.  * Reverted a change regarding setting canDRIVER_NORMAL in v5.27 since this   globally affected all channels. Calls to canSetBusOutputControl() and   canGetBusOutputControl() is now persistent across all channels in the device   until power is cycled in latest generation of devices (kcany, kcanf,   kcanl). Older devices have not changed their behaviour.  * SDK (canlib)   -Reading canCHANNELDATA_HW_STATUS will now return canERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED    instead of canERR_PARAM.   -Capability SILENT_MODE is now reported for PCIcanx and PCIcanx II devices.  * Added support for new device:   - KVASER U100 (01173-1)   - KVASER U100P (01174-8)   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.30   (08-OCT-2019) =========================================================================== * Minor changes.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.29   (13-SEP-2019) ========================================================================== * SDK (canlib)   - The message data buffer is untouched when reading a remote request frame     as identified by the canMSG_RTR flag.   - canGetBusStatistics reports the same result if transmit acknowledge is     off (0) or on (1). Transmit acknowledge is set by ioctl canIOCTL_SET_TXACK.   - Fixed a bug in kvFileCopyToDevice.    - Implemented the following tScript functions:     kvScriptStatus and kvScriptLoadFileOnDevice.     kvScriptEnvvarOpen and kvScriptEnvvarClose.     kvScriptEnvvarSetInt and kvScriptEnvvarGetInt.     kvScriptEnvvarSetFloat and kvScriptEnvvarGetFloat.     kvScriptSendEvent.     kvScriptGetText and kvScriptRequestText.  * SDK (kvlclib)   - Fixed a bug that, when a frame didn't have any signals in the dbc-file,     signal-names from other frames wheren't printed out.   - Added API function kvlcEventCountEx, handling the situation where the number     of events exceeds the size of an int.  * SDK (kvadblib)   - Added API function GetLastParseError. Call GetLastParseError to get more     information if kvadblib encounters format issues when loading a database     from file.   - Fixed a bug where non J1939 frames was faulty determined as J1939 frames.   - Improved the behaviour when reading certain .dbc files with syntax errors     so as not to cause crashes.   - Flag KVADB_MESSAGE_J1939 is now set for J1939 frames in     call to kvaDbGetMsgFlags.  * SDK (kvmlib)   - Added API functions kvmLogFileGetType.   - Added API functions kvmLogFileMountEx and kvmKmeCountEventsEx,     handling the situation where the number of events exceeds the size of an int.  * Common   - fixed bug where a call to canIOCTL_TX_INTERVAL could cause a crash if     TX_INTERVAL is unsupported by the device.   - BusStatistics increments between calls to canGetBusStatistics. Previously,     it was cleared. The function now has the same behavior as in Windows.  * PCIEcan   - Implemented canGetBusStatistics for reading the busload value.   - BusStatistics now separates correctly on standard and extended id frames.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.28   (12-MAY-2019) =========================================================================== * Minor changes.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.27   (03-MAR-2019) =========================================================================== * The CAN controller driver type is set to canDRIVER_NORMAL when opening   a new CAN handle.  * Retrieving canCHANNELDATA_TRANS_TYPE using canGetChannelData() returns   canTRANSCEIVER_TYPE_UNKNOWN for Virtual channels.  * Retrieving canCHANNELDATA_CARD_NUMBER using canGetChannelData() returns   the same card number for CAN channels located on the same physical device.  * Added support for new device:   - Kvaser Memorator Light HS v2 (01058-1)  * Fixed build problems for kernel v5.0.0.  * Possible to force 32-bit DMA addresses for pciefd, by setting the define   KV_PCIEFD_DMA_32BIT to '1', like this 'KV_PCIEFD_DMA_32BIT=1 make' This can be   useful when connecting PCIEcan via PCI-to-PCIe bridge.  * Added warning when building on host with Secure Boot enabled.  * Updated doc/faq.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.26   (26-NOV-2018) =========================================================================== * Updated the README and "General information" in this document. Since linuxcan   version V5.12 the minimum Linux kernel version required is 2.6.28. For pciefd   driver 2.6.29 is required.  * Fixed bug with corrupt serial numbers in PCIcan driver.  * Fixed build problems for GCC 8 and old GCC (4.3 and 4.6).  * SDK (canlib)   - Fixed a bug where handles became invalid for a short while when     connecting 2 or more usb-devices that used the same driver.   - listChannels example reports firmware version on same format as in Windows.  * SDK (kvadblib)   - Fixed a bug where kvaDbGetFlags() didn't return the KVADB_DATABASE_J1939-flag.   - Added function kvaDbGetMsgByPGN().   - Clarified null-terminated strings in documentation.  * SDK (linlib)   - Clarified LIN diagnostic frames in documentation.   - linWriteWakeup() parameter check updated.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.25   (16-SEP-2018) ===========================================================================  * Blacklisting SocketCAN kvaser_pciefd driver when installing pcican, pcican2   and pciefd drivers.  * The installation script will create any missing folders in   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers prior to installation.  * Added compiled script file (.txe) information retrieval function   kvScriptTxeGetData.  * SDK (canlib)   - The clock will now be resetted at buson.     To disable this behaviour, call canIoCtl (canIOCTL_SET_BUSON_TIME_AUTO_RESET, 0) before     going onbus.    - Implemented canNOTIFY_BUSONOFF.  * SDK (kvlclib)   - Added Vector MDF .log input format.   - Added API to access information about reader formats.   - Added option KVLC_PROPERTY_FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAMES to enable use of fully qualified     signal names when converting log files to output format "selected signals in CSV format".   - Added number of data decimals property for csv-format. Default value is 4.  * SDK (kvmlib)   - Fixed a bug where kvmLogFileReadEvent() returned kvmERR_FILE_ERROR     and not kvmEOF after the last event.  * SDK (kvadblib)   - Added GetDatabaseName to kvadblibCLSNET.   - Added function to delete attribute definitions, kvaDbDeleteAttributeDefinition.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.24   (03-JUL-2018) ===========================================================================  * SDK (canlib)   - Rolled back canOPEN_NO_INIT_ACCESS changes.    New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.23   (13-MAY-2018) ===========================================================================  * Fixed bug in PCIcan driver, limiting number of channels on card to two.  * Implemented canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_FLAGS  * Added support for canGetVersionEx() and canGetChannelData() using   canCHANNELDATA_DLL_FILE_VERSION, canCHANNELDATA_DLL_PRODUCT_VERSION,   canCHANNELDATA_DRIVER_FILE_VERSION and canCHANNELDATA_DRIVER_PRODUCT_VERSION   Setting the define CANLIB_BETA to '1' marks the build as beta.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.22   (12-FEB-2018) ===========================================================================  * Added support for new devices:     - Kvaser Mini PCI Express 2xHS v2 (01029-1)     - Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS v2   (01038-3)     - Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN     (01042-0)     - Kvaser BlackBird Pro HS v2      (00983-7)  * Fixed bug in driver for KVASER Virtual CAN that only allowed a single   virtual device.  * Virtual channels are always listed last, as in Windows.  * Fixed bug in USB driver. Filling the Tx buffer for one channel, will prevent   all channels with higher channel number (on the same device) from sending.  * Fixed bug in canClose which made it impossible to close canHandle if device   has been disconnected.  * Fixed race condition bug in canRead* functions.  * Fixed build problems for kernel v4.15.0.  * Fixed a bug in kvlclib (introduced in v5.21) that placed values in wrong   column by omitting a newline character in .csv file for:     - CSV Signal, Selected signals in CSV format, and     - CSV CCP/XCP, CCP/XCP calibration in CSV forma    New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.21   (13-SEP-2017) ===========================================================================  * Added support for Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN (00965-3).  * Added Magisync support for mhydra and leaf.  * Updated canlib example code.  * Fixed build problems for kernel v4.11.0, v4.12.0 and v4.13.0.  * canOpenChannel now accepts flags canOPEN_OVERRIDE_EXCLUSIVE,   canOPEN_REQUIRE_INIT_ACCESS and canOPEN_NO_INIT_ACCESS.  * Replaced do_div with div_u64 to fix build problems on some ARM targets.  * Fixed build problems for GCC 4.7 and 7.1.  * Fixed bug (introduced in V5.20) in mhydra, causing error when device is using   USB full-speed.  * Fixed bug in canBusOn. The tx-queue was cleared every call to canBuson.   Now it is only cleared when we physically goes bus on.  * canERR_HARDWARE is now returned if a Kvaser USB device has been disconnected.  * SDK:   * Fixed a bug regarding extraction of logfiles with kvmlib.   * Fixed date in header of Vector ASCII generated by kvlclib.   * Added timezone property for kvlclib (affects headers and calendar timestamps).   * Added extended bit to CAN identifiers in MDF4.1 generated by kvlclib.   * Added start date in Vector BLF format generated by kvlclib.   * Logger configurations can now contain more than one external trigger, i.e.     trigger on both rising and falling edge. Will only work with firmware 3.7     or better.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.20   (05-MAY-2017) ===========================================================================  * Not implemented functions now correctly returns canERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED   (instead of canERR_NOMSG).  * New CANlib SDK libraries released in kvlibsdk.tar.gz:   - kvadblib   - kvamemolibxml   - kvlclib   - kvmlib  * Added new APIs (canlib):   - kvFileGetCount   - kvFileGetName   - kvFileDelete   - kvFileCopyToDevice   - kvFileCopyFromDevice   - kvScriptStart   - kvScriptStop   - kvScriptLoadFile   - kvScriptUnload  * Added canCHANNELDATA_HW_STATUS and canCHANNELDATA_FEATURE_EAN for   internal use.  * Fixed bug in USB udev rules, causing each rule to trigger twice when a new   Kvaser USB device was plugged in/unplugged.  * Fixed build issue on ARM64 targets. (atomic_set_mask)  * Updated doc/faq.  * Corrected timeGetTime in linlib.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.19   (15-FEB-2017) ===========================================================================  * The reported frame-id in the callback for canSetNotify is now   correct when using extended-id.  * The reported event in the the callback for canSetNotify is now   correct.  * Fixed bug in canReadSyncSpecific where extended identifiers was not   recognized.  * Removed dependency, so calling 'sudo make install' and 'sudo make load' will   not rebuild drivers, canlib, linlib nor example code.  * File access modes for installed files have been reviewed.  * Added new APIs:   - kvFlashLeds.   - kvReadTimer and kvReadTimer64.   - canUnloadLibrary. It uses non-portable initialization of mutex (works on     Linux only).  * Fixed bug when reading customized channel names, causing oops.  * Corrected data exchange between user space and kernel space, for ioctl.  * Fixed problem in makefile when building on openSUSE with kernel older than   v3.18.0.  * The linlib shared object is now compiled with -lcanlib to declare the   dependency toward canlib.  * Change canBusOn and canBusOff behavior, to match Windows. It is required to   call canBusOn (ａnd canBusOff) for each handle, even though they share same   physical channel. Could potentially be a breaking change.   See Kvaser canlib documentation for details.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.18   (28-SEP-2016) =========================================================================== * Fix for Leaf incompatibility issue with Leaf FW older than version 3.8.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.17   (15-SEP-2016) ===========================================================================    * Added Single shot functionality.     * Added dummy canRequestChipStatus for code portability. The function      canRequestChipStatus is not needed in Linux, but in order to make code      portable between Windows and Linux, a dummy function returning canOK has      been added.     * Added support for reading out customized channel names for mhydra, pciefd      and leaf (currently it is only possible to set customized channel names      from Windows).     * Added canReadSpecific, canReadSpecificSkip and canReadSyncSpecific.     * Added canRequestBusStatistics and canGetBusStatistics.     * Added canIOCTL_RESET_OVERRUN_COUNT.     * Added make target 'uninstall' which unloads all Kvaser modules and      removes entire Kvaser installation.      It is possible to uninstall each individual driver, but it is not      recommended. The usb based drivers uses the common udev rules      (10-kvaser.rules) file to load and unload modules which remains      until one executes 'sudo make uninstall'.     * Added make target 'load'  which does the same as target 'install' and      then loads all PCI modules also after reboot.     * Leaf and Eagle devices now also defaults to canDRIVER_NORMAL.     * Improved handling of illegal input parameters.     * All canlib example code is reviewed and updated.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.16   (22-MAY-2016) ===========================================================================     * CAN FD support (interface mode) for:         - Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS  (00778-9)         - Kvaser USBcan Pro 5xHS     (00779-6)         - Kvaser Leaf Pro HS v2      (00843-4)         - Kvaser USBcan Pro 2xHS v2  (00752-9)      * Replaced Windows types with stdint types.      * Added support for canGetHandleData.      * Added canCHANNELDATA_CHANNEL_CAP_MASK to read which capabilities are       confirmed dynamically by device.      * Implemented canIOCTL_TX_INTERVAL, canIOCTL_SET_BRLIMIT and       canCHANNELDATA_MAX_BITRATE.      * Removed obsolete USB hotplug support.      * Fixed bug, where return value of canIOCTL_GET_RX_BUFFER_LEVEL was affected       by transmit buffer length.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.15   (07-MAR-2016) ===========================================================================    * No changes, this is a companion release to the Windows version.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.14   (01-MAR-2016) ===========================================================================    * A bug regarding maximum number of channels for a kernel module (MAX_CHANNELS)      has been fixed for all drivers.     * Timestamps are now stored as 64-bit values instead of 32-bit values to      match canReadTimer().   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.13   (15-DEC-2015) ===========================================================================    * Updated pciefd driver to work without DMA (option USE_DMA in      pciefd_config.h). Note, however, that this is an unupported (and      consequently untested) feature that may break in the future.  New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.12   (21-SEP-2015) ===========================================================================    * Sampling points of default CAN bitrates are now 75% instead of 62.5%.     * Added tentative support (USB CAN communication only) for KVASER USBcan      Light 4xHS, Leaf Pro HS v2, KVASER USBcan Pro 2xHS v2, KVASER Memorator      2xHS v2, Memorator Pro 2xHS v2.     * Improved support for CAN-FD for PCIEcan 4xHS.     * Kvaser device drivers now all use a common driver (kvcommon) that is      loaded seprarately.     * Updated register names and definitions in PCIEcan driver to comply with      the names used in the ISO standard for CAN-FD.     * Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS requires firmware 2.0.1 or higher.  New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.11   (21-MAY-2015) ===========================================================================    * Blacklisting SocketCAN kvaser_usb driver when installing leaf and usbcanII      drivers.     * Implemented canOPEN_CAN_FD_NONISO flag to open a channel in non-ISO canFD mode.      Added canCHANNEL_CAP_CAN_FD_NONISO capability for devices that can be opened      in non-ISO canFD mode.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.10   (Internal release) ===========================================================================    * Support for Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS.     * Tentative support for CAN-FD.   New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.9   (17-MAR-2015) ===========================================================================    * Minor changes.

New Features and Fixed Problems in V5.2   (26-SEP-2013) ================================================================    * Changed types in canIfData.h in order to handle 32/64bit      type differences. This implies that both drivers and      canlib should be updated together.     * Replaced usage of create_proc_read_entry to      proc_create_data. Since it is deprecated in kernel 3.10,      kernels >= 2.6.26 are now required.   ================================================================ Updates in version 5.1 ================================================================    * Minor updates to documentation.   ================================================================ Updates in version 5.0 ================================================================    * Fixed bug related to local tx echo    * Added support for Leaf Professional LIN    * Added LINlib    * Fixed build issue on ARM targets.

Supports additional Kvaser devices. Some bug fixes and improvements.  KVASER LAPcan and LAPcan II are excluded from this release. System requirements: Linux 2.6 (will not build as is on 2.4).  NOTE! While SMP (ａnd fully preemptible kernel) has seen significant       testing, it should still be considered somewhat experimental.       The same applies to use under 64 bit Linux.       Feedback on use under SMP enabled (or fully preemptible)       and 64 bit kernels is welcome.       See the FAQ for information on how to disable SMP. NOTE!
