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

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

33config CAN_BCM
34	tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
35	default y
36	help
37	  The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
38	  sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
39	  interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
40	  informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
41	  You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
42	  CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
43	  To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.

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

59	tristate "ISO 15765-2:2016 CAN transport protocol"
60	help
61	  CAN Transport Protocols offer support for segmented Point-to-Point
62	  communication between CAN nodes via two defined CAN Identifiers.
63	  As CAN frames can only transport a small amount of data bytes
64	  (max. 8 bytes for 'classic' CAN and max. 64 bytes for CAN FD) this
65	  segmentation is needed to transport longer Protocol Data Units (PDU)
66	  as needed e.g. for vehicle diagnosis (UDS, ISO 14229) or IP-over-CAN
67	  traffic.
68	  This protocol driver implements data transfers according to
69	  ISO 15765-2:2016 for 'classic' CAN and CAN FD frame types.
70	  If you want to perform automotive vehicle diagnostic services (UDS),
71	  say 'y'.
