Hello, I want to use an MCP2515 module with my NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. My L4T version is 36.4.7, but I couldn’t find the corresponding BSP source. Could you please advise:

  1. Where can I obtain the BSP compatible with 36.4.7?

  2. How can I recompile and configure the mcp251x module to work with SPI and CAN without having to recompile the entire kernel?

Hi marwasmiai2000,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

Please refer to Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to build the kernel.

It is required as you have custom module needs to be enabled. You have also need to update the device tree.

You can refer to https://elinux.org/Jetson/L4T/peripheral/#MCP2515_Verification for the steps to port MCP2515 module.
