in UP 4000 Linux

Hi, i own a UP4000 running Ubuntu20 and i know my way around enough to have used the proper linux ISO found in the community forum and i already have used a homebuilt HAT for it.

I would like to know if the following board would be compatible with the UP4000 and where to start on how to use it.
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RS485_CAN_HAT#Introduction

I do have doubts as the tutorial for this hat uses raspi-config, a raspian OS specific software. I guess that the UP board would be able to have the functionality to enable RS485 and allow ssh login through it as it is my goal.

    Hi @redbeard_physicist

    Basically, as long as the UART interface on the HAT can be used properly, converting it to CAN bus or RS485 (COM port) communication should not be an issue. It mainly depends on whether the UP4000 can access and control the UART pins correctly.

    Best Regards,
