Rusoku Technologies is an innovative engineering team based in Lithuania, Europe. They offer CAN adapter at a reasonable price. Drivers and utilities for Windows and Linux are available as open-source. A macOS user-space driver for TouCAN USB interfaces from Rusoku is provided by UV Software.
The macOS driver for TouCAN USB Interfaces from Rusoku is based on MacCAN-Core which is an abstraction (or rather a wrapper) of Apple´s IOUsbKit to create USB user-space drivers for CAN interfaces from various vendors under macOS.
The GitHub repository contains the source code for the MacCAN-TouCAN driver and several alternatives to build dynamic libraries for macOS, either as a C++ class library (libTouCAN), or as a CAN API V3 wrapper library (libUVCANTOU), as well as some example programs and my beloved CAN utilities can_moni and can_test.
The MacCAN-TouCAN driver comes with an CAN API V3 compatible API.
CAN API V3 is a wrapper specification by UV Software to have a uniform CAN Interface API for various CAN interfaces from different vendors running under multiple operating systems. See header file CANAPI.h for the CAN API V3 wrapper specification.
