| 8 | ---help--- |
| 9 | Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial |
| 10 | communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in |
| 11 | 1991, mainly for automotive, but now widely used in marine |
| 12 | (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical applications. |
| 13 | More information on the CAN network protocol family PF_CAN |
| 14 | is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.txt>. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the |
| 17 | specific driver for your controller(s) below. |

| 21 | depends on CAN |
| 22 | default N |
| 23 | ---help--- |
| 24 | The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via |
| 25 | the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in |
| 26 | most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw |
| 27 | socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames. |
| 28 | To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW. |

| 30 | config CAN_BCM |
| 31 | tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)" |
| 32 | depends on CAN |
| 33 | default N |
| 34 | ---help--- |
| 35 | The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring, |
| 36 | sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user |
| 37 | interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and |
| 38 | informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts. |
| 39 | You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic |
| 40 | CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments). |
| 41 | To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM. |
