Hi there

I am new here and I am wondering if the lib supports ZLG USBCAN series products in linux?

thanks a lot

Have you ordered the product and tested it? SocketCan in the Linux kernel is network based, so the first step after plugging in the device would be to bring up the CAN interface. Then initialize your Bus with the "socketcan" channel.

I use a PCAN in Linux in a similar fashion described above. No additional drivers required. See python-can docs here.

Yes, I've ordered the product, but still on the way. I understand that SocketCan is available on Linux and it is network based, however as far as I know, ZLG USBCAN does not support socketcan, that's why I was wondering if python-can supports ZLG usbcan series product, if it does, how to announce bus type as well as channel name.

PCAN no matter PCIE or USB types both support socketcan, I used PCIE PCAN before. But to be honest that is little bit expensive comparing to ZLG

thanks a lot
