Set Up The Software

You can skip the software setup by using our prepared image. Download here!

Download the zipped image, unzip it on your local machine, and flash it to a 32GB Micro SD Card. To flash images to SD Cards, there are a lot of applications that will support you. Examples:

• Windows: ** Win32DiskImager
• MacOS: ** ApplePie Baker
• Linux: ** Etcher

Those are only some examples. Of course, you may use your personal favorite choice as well.

After the image has successfully been flashed to the SD Card, a partition named "Boot" should be available. In order to make the can-shield work, open config.txt and change/add the following parameters:

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay

Now plug the card it into your Raspberry Pi and boot. If you have a monitor connected you should see the Desktop shortly after.

The image contains a Rasbian desktop version with SocketCAN and ISO-TP (by Hartkopp). Since the simulator files are written in LUA, there is also lua version pre-installed in this image.

If you'd like to install the software yourself, please follow this guide.
