1Introduction

Thank you for choosing Vantron. It is our commitment to provide

our valued customers with the embedded devices equipped with the

state of the art technology and the best product services.

Vantron’s M2M products are based on the most advanced ARM and

Intel Atom processors and have low power consumption and high

integration. The products are designed for applications of M2M in

industrials, medicals, financial, retail, vehicle, and transportations etc.

1.1 About This Manual

This manual is for user how to use sample programs in Linux

system and how to use device in Linux system.

We support three kinds of Linux system, and they have same sample

programs, but each system has different, so when they have different

we will specially note.

1.2 Sample Programs

Vantron supports many sample programs for TV-M2M-TC. You

can test device modules through these sample programs, and can be the

reference that you develop.

client CAN data send program

loopback CAN data receive program
