1 Kvaser driver for CANfestival, the open source CANopen stack.

     5 This driver should work with any Kvaser product compatible with Kvaser's CANLIB4.

     6 I tested it with CAN Leaf Professional (USB-CAN adapter) on a Suse10.1 Linux box

     7 and CANLIB 4.72 Beta (Oct 1,2007). 

     8 

     9 In order to compile the driver, you should already be able to run the CANlib examples,

    10 and tools, to be sure that CANLIB is able to detect and drive your device.

    13 NOTES ABOUT CANLIB4

    14 

    15 Since the "Leaf" device was added recently to CANLIB, I had to download the latest linuxcan4

    16 library sources from http://www.kvaser.com instead of use the CD software shipped with the device.

    19 NOTES ABOUT WINDOWS

    20 

    21 Sadly, Kvaser's Win32 CANLIB is not provided with sources, so CANLIB cannot be build with GNU

    22 tools. LIB files for MSVC and BCC are provided with the DLL but the DLL itself is stripped and

    23 I've tried an entire day to compile this driver under Cygwin without success, despite 

    24 Wu Yongwei's hints (http://www.geocities.com/yongweiwu/dllfaq.htm).

    25 

    26 This does not mean that it's an impossible task, but probably I left out something important. 

    27 Temporary KO.
