I am trying to work out how to build an install an update to the kernel for 
the CAN. The project I believe is here

https://gitorious.org/linux-can/

There are a few sub projects within it. I specifically want to add the 
ISO-TP protocol to my beaglebone project so I guess this means building it 
into the kernel - I don't believe this is a released part of the SocketCAN 
driver as standard yet. I am using Debian as my OS.

The problem is every search I do on the subject assumes I know how to use 
github and how to compile the parts of the kernel I need and what I do with 
the output. There is no step by step guide - this does not make it easy for 
people that are new to Linux. 

Also I guess if I add functionality to the kernel I would need to update 
header files etc to use these features.

If I use a cross compiler on a windows pc (or a linux pc for that matter) 
do I need to build drivers/libraries there as well ?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can explain
