<div> </div>
<div>I have implemented SocketCAN wrappers for FreePascal which I would like to contribute. Before creating a patch for Mantis, could someone please take a look at it's current form and advise me on further steps, changes and improvements that I should eventually do? I would like it to be available right out of the box with FreePascal (as it is now the case with Python and C), so I guess that it should end up as a FreePascal package.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe it is important to mention that SocketCAN is linux only, but seeing how popular it is I do not think it will stay that for long.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have already prepared sockets for CAN changes earlier with this patch: https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38566.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is still some work waiting for me with SAE J1939 high level protocol and writing docs and more demos, but I would appreciate if you could take a look at it's current state and give comments. Just download can.zip file from this message: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,39858.msg397239.html#msg397239.</div>
