Libuavcan driver for RTOS/DE10-Nano

Hello,
I am currently working in a robotics project and am using some board that use the UAVCAN protocol. To control them, we are using a DE10-Nano (Cyclone V) wtih a RTOS, mAbassi, integrated. We have a custom-made MCP2515 SPI-to-CAN board connected to the LTC Headers of the DE10 (whatever…).

I have the following code to interface with this driver (see below).

Anyone here could give me pointers on how to interface this with libuavcan v0? I tried to look how it was done for linux, or the STM32 and try to replicate the processus, without any real success…

Thanks in advance !

The driver development process is described here: https://legacy.uavcan.org/Implementations/Libuavcan/Platforms/

You just need to implement uavcan::ICanDriver, uavcan::ICanIface, and uavcan::ISystemClock.

I have seen those; but am still having a hard time implementing the driver…

If you have any specific questions I’d be happy to advise.
