2019-09-04can: add support of SAE J1939 protocolThe j1939 authors1-0/+1
SAE J1939 is the vehicle bus recommended practice used for communication and diagnostics among vehicle components. Originating in the car and heavy-duty truck industry in the United States, it is now widely used in other parts of the world. J1939, ISO 11783 and NMEA 2000 all share the same high level protocol. SAE J1939 can be considered the replacement for the older SAE J1708 and SAE J1587 specifications.

2019-05-22Documentation: add TLS offload documentationJakub Kicinski1-0/+1
Describe existing kernel TLS offload (added back in Linux 4.19) - the mechanism, the expected behavior and the notable corner cases. This documentation is mostly targeting hardware vendors who want to implement offload, to ensure consistency between implementations. v2: - add emphasis around TLS_SW/TLS_HW/TLS_HW_RECORD; - remove mentions of ongoing work (Boris); - split the flow of data in SW vs. HW cases in TX overview (Boris); - call out which fields are updated by the device and which are filled by the stack (Boris); - move error handling into it's own section (Boris); - add more words about fallback (Boris); - note that checksum validation is required (Alexei); - note that drivers shouldn't pay attention to the TLS device features.

The UCAN driver supports the microcontroller-based USB/CAN adapters from Theobroma Systems. There are two form-factors that run essentially the same firmware: * Seal: standalone USB stick ( https://www.theobroma-systems.com/seal ) * Mule: integrated on the PCB of various System-on-Modules from Theobroma Systems like the A31-µQ7 and the RK3399-Q7 ( https://www.theobroma-systems.com/rk3399-q7 ) The USB wire protocol has been designed to be as generic and hardware-indendent as possible in the hope of being useful for implementation on other microcontrollers.
