10	  Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
11	  communications protocol. Development of the CAN bus started in
12	  1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH, and the protocol was officially
13	  released in 1986. The CAN bus was originally mainly for automotive,
14	  but is now widely used in marine (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical
15	  applications. More information on the CAN network protocol family
16	  PF_CAN is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.rst>.
17
18	  If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the
19	  specific driver for your controller(s) under the Network device
20	  support section.

26	default y
27	help
28	  The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via
29	  the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in
30	  most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw
31	  socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames.
32	  To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW.

34config CAN_BCM
35	tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
36	default y
37	help
38	  The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
39	  sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
40	  interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
41	  informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
42	  You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
43	  CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
44	  To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.

48	default y
49	help
50	  The CAN Gateway/Router is used to route (and modify) CAN frames.
51	  It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and
52	  msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly.
53	  CAN frames can be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop).
54	  They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured
55	  by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables.

60	tristate "ISO 15765-2 CAN transport protocol"
61	help
62	  CAN Transport Protocols offer support for segmented Point-to-Point
63	  communication between CAN nodes via two defined CAN Identifiers.
64	  This protocol driver implements segmented data transfers for CAN CC
65	  (aka Classical CAN, CAN 2.0B) and CAN FD frame types which were
66	  introduced with ISO 15765-2:2016.
67	  As CAN frames can only transport a small amount of data bytes
68	  (max. 8 bytes for CAN CC and max. 64 bytes for CAN FD) this
69	  segmentation is needed to transport longer Protocol Data Units (PDU)
70	  as needed e.g. for vehicle diagnosis (UDS, ISO 14229) or IP-over-CAN
71	  traffic.
