Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] LIN support for Linux

Hello Christoph,

are you already aware of this LIN project that uses the Linux SocketCAN 
infrastructure and implements the LIN protocol based on a serial tty 
adaption (which the serial LIN protocol mainly is)?

https://github.com/lin-bus

IIRC the implementation of the master/slave timings was the biggest 
challenge and your approach seems to offload this problem to your 
USB-attached hardware right?

Can I assume there will be a similar CAN-controlled programming 
interface to create real time master/slave protocol frames like in a 
usual CAN/LIN adapter (e.g. 
https://www.peak-system.com/PCAN-LIN.213.0.html) ??

Best regards,
Oliver
