BeagleBone Green: Enable CAN on Startup

Posted on 2017/01/142017/08/15 by Gan

Three steps:

Enable CAN overlay by configuring cape manager
Configure network interface
Install startup program

1. Enable CAN overlay

Add following line in /etc/default/capemgr

CAPE=BB-DCAN1

1	CAPE=BB-DCAN1

2. Configure network interface

Add following lines in /etc/network/interfaces

auto can0
iface can0 inet manual
    pre-up /sbin/ip link set $IFACE type can bitrate 1000000 listen-only off
    up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up
    down /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE down

auto can0

iface can0 inet manual

pre-up /sbin/ip link set $IFACE type can bitrate 1000000 listen-only off

up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up

down /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE down

3. Install startup program

Setting the CAN interface to /etc/network/interface does not enable the CAN interface on startup for some reason. In order to workaround this problem, I installed a startup program as follows.

Following link was helpful:

Running a script on Beaglebone Black boot/ startup

The startup script to run on startup is as follows. This script also turns off wi-fi power management, thus I removed a cron entry I added before to disable the power management.

naoki@beaglebone:~$ cat /usr/bin/startup.sh
#!/bin/sh

ifup -a
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off

naoki@beaglebone:~$ cat /usr/bin/startup.sh

#!/bin/sh

ifup -a

/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off

Following are the steps to create and enable a service that runs on startup.

Create the service

vi /lib/systemd/startup.service

1
2

vi /lib/systemd/startup.service

Edit the above file as necessary to invoke the different functionalities like network. Enable these only if the code needs that particular service. Disable unwanted ones to decrease boot time.

[Unit]
Description=runs startup script after startup
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/startup.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Unit]

Description=runs startup script after startup

After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]

Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/startup.sh

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Create a symbolic link to let the device know the location of the service.

cd /etc/systemd/system/ ln -s /lib/systemd/startup.service startup.service

1
2
3

cd /etc/systemd/system/
ln -s /lib/systemd/startup.service startup.service
Make systemd reload the configuration file, start the service immediately (helps to see if the service is functioning properly) and enable the unit files specified in the command line.

systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start scriptname.service systemctl enable scriptname.service

1
2
3
4

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start scriptname.service
systemctl enable scriptname.service
Restart BBB immediately to see if it runs as intended.

reboot

BeagleBoneGreen: Disabling Wi-Fi Power Management Permanently

The operating system is Debian. This is a dirty solution but it does work anyway.

1. Enabled CAN at 1Mbps on BeagleBone:

Following operations seem to be necessary every BeagleBone boot. TBD to setup auto configuration on startup.

Enable CAN on the BeagleBone Green

Posted on 2016/12/252017/08/15 by Gan

I’ve tried to enable CAN on my BeagleBone Green board. I had to stop the work before verification, because my logic analyzer is unavailable now. I record what I did in this article to make things reproducible when the logic analyzer is back.

There are several helpful links:

WiFi setup:

Use connmanctl as described in /etc/network/interfaces.

root@beaglebone:~# connmanctl

connmanctl&gt; scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi
connmanctl&gt; services

Insert the SD into the MacBook
“diskutil list” to know the path to the device.
run “sudo dd if=<device_name> conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c > archive.img.gz
