Please describe your issue below:

We want to install the MCP2515 CAN controller on our VIM3 Pro and want to make it interact with our android built on the VIM3 Pro Board. Are there any informations about steps or limitations?

Post a console log of your issue below:

I think this is feasible.
(1) MCP2515 is a controller chip for converting SPI to CAN. VIM3 has an SPI interface, and the hardware needs to be connected to the SPI interface. The GPIO corresponding to SPI can be viewed below.

(2) On the software side, GPIO needs to be configured as SPI function, and the driver for MCP2515 needs to be added to the system.

We have not implemented VIM3, but we have used cases of SPI to CAN conversion in other projects.
