| tristate "CAN bus subsystem support" |
| ---help--- |
| Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial |
| communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in |
| 1991, mainly for automotive, but 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.txt>. |
| |
| If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the |
| specific driver for your controller(s) below. |

| config CAN_RAW |
| tristate "Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)" |
| depends on CAN |
| default N |
| ---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)" |
| depends on CAN |
| default N |
| ---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)" |
| depends on CAN |
| default N |
| ---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. |
