+===========================

+This open-source core provides CAN FD support. CAN FD drames are
+delivered even to the host systems when SocketCAN interface is found
+CAN FD capable.
+
+The PCIe borad emulation is provided for now (the device identifier is
+ctucan_pci). The defauld build defines two CTU CAN FD cores
+on the board.

+on the corresponding PCI card expects that host system CAN bus
+is setup according to the previous SJA1000 section.
