Serial Bus Device" device class. After successful installation, you can see the "USBCAN"
device under the "Universal Serial Bus Device" device class in the "Device Manager"
interface. The following figure shows the normal installation of the "ZLG USBCAN series

When the USBCAN mini intelligent CAN interface card and the PC are in data
transmission, the SYS indicator on the interface card flashes in green.

#apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
B. Copy "usbcan.so, libusbcan.so.1" to the "/lib" directory, and run make in the test
directory for compilation.
Note: Ask the R&D department for usbcan.ko and libusbcan.so.1 files.
C. In the "./test" in the test directory, view the parameter calling example as
reference for the test.
D. test will test each channel in a self-send and self-receive manner. If the card is
normal, the number of frames sent and received and the sending speed will be
displayed in the end

Therefore, customers need to apply for a custom driver to the R&D department each time the kernel is
replaced.
