I'm trying to use the CAN1 bus on the Beaglebone Black board (the pins at P9.24 and P9.26).
First I tried the config-pin commands to change the pinmux mode from its default state, and provided the following lines.
config-pin p9.24 can
config-pin p9.26 can
ip link set can1 up type can bitrate 1000000
Strangely, with a perfectly functional CAN device at the other end, no CAN packets could be sent or received. I even checked the signals with an oscilloscope and found no output signals at all. When I run the bus in the loopback mode the board had no problem in acknowledging packets from itself. So I figured something went wrong with the driver or the pinmux.
Next I tried Device Tree overlay and inserted the build-in dtbo filenames into the /boot/uEnv.txt file.
###Additional custom capes
uboot_overlay_addr4=/lib/firmware/BB-CAN0-00A0.dtbo
uboot_overlay_addr5=/lib/firmware/BB-CAN1-00A0.dtbo
#uboot_overlay_addr6=/lib/firmware/<file6>.dtbo
#uboot_overlay_addr7=/lib/firmware/<file7>.dtbo

I expected this will overlay the CAN0 & CAN1 pinmux modes after a reboot, but now queries on the pin configurations are giving weird errors.
debian@beaglebone:/lib/firmware$ config-pin -q p9.24
ERROR: open() for /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp:P9_24_pinmux/state failed, No such file or directory
The same messages for the other overlayed pins. Actually any config-pin commands don't work on these pins. (And of course the CAN bus is still not working)
I'm currently using the latest AM3358 Debian 10.3 (2020-04-06) SD IoT image, and packages seems to be all updated well. The image is flashed and no SD card is in. What am I missing?
