Omega2S Omega2+ If you are as big a fan of the Omega2 as I am I'm guessing you want to do as much with the platform as possible. Recently I've been looking to get a low cost Linux system on a CANbus, to sniff on some traffic. What are the options for adding a CAN interface to your Omega2, either when you are designing a solution or looking to easily add it to an existing system? eLinux has a great guide on a number of CANbus adapters that I'd recommend to anyone looking to integrate CAN into their system. Interface Typical use case Available on Omega2 / Omega2S serial (via SLCAN) Design-in/Add-on Simple protocol but not considered reliable, efficient or fast by Linux CAN developers . SPI Design-in Not usable , the Omega2 (MT7688 cpu) is only half duplex SPI Software SPI Design-in Higher cpu load than hardware SPI USB Design-in/Add-on Available (Omega2 has one USB host port) Note that all of the design-in options could be used
