Public bug reported: Several scheduled upgrades to the HMS SocketCAN protocol driver over USB->CAN interface are required.
SocketCAN support for USB->CAN devices was introduced in Ubuntu Xenial LTS kernel through following patch (BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774563): cddf58207a3c UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) Support IXXAT USB SocketCAN device == SRU Justification == The scheduled upgrades include following changes: - support adapters for CL1 (Communication Layer for legacy devices) and CL2 (current devices) - removed CAN-IDM100 support (Microchip Rev A microcontroller) - add CAN-IDM101 support (Microchip Rev B microcontroller) - add Error-Passive recognition - move CAN message handling to the core module - use ktime API for timestamps - fixes Linux kernel coding style issues == Fix == UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) upgrade IXXAT USB SocketCAN driver == Regression Potential == Low. The driver will be built only for amd64 kernels and attach itself to IXXAT USB-CAN adapters with VID 0x08d8. Also, patches from the vendor (HMS) have already been tested by Dell/ODM, Canonical QA on Dell 300x Edge IoT gateways.
