Hi Jose,

Please find a basic guide and overview [here](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/the-cyphal-guide/778/4)

The currently supported transport layers are CAN, Serial (UART, RS232, etc) and UDP (Ethernet). I’m not sure I’ve seen anything done with SPI as the transport on here, but its probably something you could make, took a look [at this thread.](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/generalized-mapping-of-cyphal-to-transports/1761)

I’ll let more experienced people than I weigh in on that.

Cheers!
