Well that "3.8.13" "RT" kernel isn't maintained anymore.  Other then
Can0 what else do you need?

As you could just grab the latest image: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images

then install the "3.14.x RT" kernel:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install
linux-image-3.14.35-ti-rt-r56 ; sudo reboot

(right now i only have can1 built by default:

dtb=am335x-boneblack-can1.dtb

You can use dtb-rebuilder to enable can0..
