I am using the CAN2USb for a long time under Linux via socket can and I have created a library / c++14 wrapper to be able to use simple functions / c++-containers (and function callbacks etc.).

Now I want to include the possibility to use the code under windows by filling code in "ifdef" blocks*.

Is there a simple basic (~20 Lines= example how to use CANAL (CAN Abstraction Layer) API
(http://www.8devices.com/media/products/ ... AL_API.pdf) ?
Unfortunately the source code of the windows test application does not help me.

*Linux:
#include <net/if.h> // can as network layer
#include <linux/can.h> // socket can headers
#include <linux/can/raw.h> // socket can structs
...
ip link set ...
ifconfig ...
...
//read
fd_set readSet;
FD_ZERO(&readSet);
FD_SET(this->socket, &readSet);
if (select((this->socket + 1), &readSet, NULL, NULL, &timeout) >= 0)
{
if (FD_ISSET(this->socket, &readSet))
{
recvbytes = read(this->socket, &frame_rd, sizeof(struct can_frame));
// data is in frame_rd
//write
write(this->socket, frame, sizeof(struct can_frame));

Try to look at this:

Thank you very much for the hint.

Actually this was much more than I was asking for. Some existing cross platform can driver for several hardware would be wonderful but I am afraid that vscp cannot do this. Although there are some “ifdefs” for Windows in https://github.com/grodansparadis/vscp/ ... ocketcan.h
it seems to me only be suited for windows – in the *cpp file there are dedicated linux systems headers. In addition wxwidget is used. I want to be able to use can with standard c++(14) only without any need of gui libraries at this level.


Thus, knowing how to use the 8-devices windows driver by having a simple basic example would be a good start.
Is it right that I have to use the CANAL (CAN Abstraction Layer) API
