Revision history [back]

Just happened upon your question through an unrelated Google search, but (among other things) I'm the maintainer of my work's Linux CAN drivers.

Unfortunately the DB9 connector on the Pandaboard is RS232, not CAN, electrically. Despite having the same connector, it's not going to work (and may damage your Pandaboard, CAN runs at weird voltages). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
