1 Introduction The CAN interface PCAN-M.2 for an M.2 slot is available as a version with one, two, or four channels. With its small format, the CAN interface is ideal for embedded PCs, single board computers (SBC) and compact embedded applications. Depending on the version, up to four CAN FD and CAN type fieldbuses can be connected.
2 Installation This chapter covers the software setup for the CAN interface PCAN-M.2 in Windows and the installation of the CAN interface in the computer. Note: For installation on Linux, see Appendix D Linux. Install the driver before you install the CAN interface.
The programming interface (API) PCAN-Basic provides basic functions for the connection of own programs to the CAN interface of PEAK-System. PCAN-Basic is the interface between the program and the device driver. In Windows operating systems this is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) and in Linux operating systems an SO (Dynamic Shared Object).

Install the driver before you install the CAN interface. Turn off the computer and insert the PCAN-M.2 into an available M.2 slot (using PCIe lane). If you do not have an M.2-2280 slot, you can shorten the card to 2260 format. To do this, carefully break the back of the card along the predetermined breaking point.
Appendix D Linux Depending on the Kernel version, device drivers for the CAN interfaces from PEAK- System are already included in the operating system. The CAN interfaces are treated as network devices (SocketCAN, netdev). You can find the documentation for SocketCAN under: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt...
