How to set up BeagleBone AI with CAN

[Cody Cox]

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to get the CAN ports configured for the BeagleBone AI. Is there a specific process for getting these ports initiated or are they pre-configured already? I haven't found much information available for how to get this setup so any information or direction would be appreciated.

Here are two links. But as is the case with most AI questions, these links are for the BB Black, not AI. The BBBlack requires a helper chip to provide the physical interface to CAN.
