Hi folks!

For some reasons (mainly the kernel support for IEEE 802.11s) I need to use 
Debian (kernel 3.13 or higher; I’m currently running 3.16.1-bone4) on my 
BBB. For my project, I will also use the CAN interface of the BBB and some 
IO pins (mainly for LEDs and switches...).

This is my first BBB project so I searched the web for the easiest / best 
solution for using the GPIO pins of my BBBs. 

In many tutorials about BBB GPIO and can-bus the use of the capemgr is 
suggested. But as you all know there is no capemgr in 3.16.

Now I would really need your help to find the best way to enable the 
can-bus (dcan_1) and also control some other GPIO pins. Can I do this from 
userspace some how? Or do I have to reconfigure and rebuild the kernel? 

@GPIO pins: I think the easiest solution is to use "echo [GPIO No.] > 
/sys/class/gpio/export"  and then set the value & direction etc. using 
echo. Am I right here?

Thanks a lot for your help and hints,
Marco
