Install

The installation of the linux driver requires that the linux kernel header files and the necessary build tools are installed on your system. You can install them as follows:

Debian based systems:

$ sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
$ sudo apt install --reinstall build-essential

Raspbian:

$ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

Fedora and Red Hat:

$ su -
# yum -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers
# yum -y groupinstall 'Development Tools'

You can check if the headers are installed by running the following command:

$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Compile the kernel module by running make:

$ make all

You can then install the module by running:

Debian based systems:

$ sudo make install

Fedora and Red Hat:

$ su -
# make install

This will build your modules, install them in a shared directory and load them into the kernel.

Congratulations! You can now use the IXXAT USB-to-CAN devices.
