Hello everyone, tell me where to start. What configuration to take as a prototype.  
I want to make standalone Boat based on PX4.  
I want to use pure Raspberry Pi(Zero). On which I have only CAN bus.  
Connect all other peripherals of AHRS, GPS, and telemetry, motors via CAN Bus.  
I have motor controllers VESC and UCANS32K1SEC.  
I would be grateful for any advice.  
Thank you.  
Andrew.

I looked at the PX4 source code and found PilotPi. Enough to get me started. 🙂  
There is no CAN bus in this configuration. I looked at other configurations under Linux.  
None of them have CAN bus.  
PX4 does not support CAN Bus under Linux?

I did not find support for CAN BUS in SITL either. under Linux it would be fine. I would be able to check all the peripherals right in my Desktop. ☹ 🙂
