Hi

I have a device here which has only a CAN interface to the outside world. I am currently thinking about implementing a "serial" driver using the CAN controller.

OK, a dedicated CAN driver would make more sense.

Is there any chance to get this accepted in the public u-boot tree?

I think yes, if it does not mis-use U-BOOT

A special program on the PC side would be needed to translate the CAN messages back to a serial stream and vice versa and make it available to a terminal program. But thats another story.

Netconsole could do the job, but that would require to run IP over CAN.
