AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent Error log : Unknown device type

Question

Hello AWS people.
I want to know why my agent show me this error

```
Cannot find device “vcan0”
Error: Unknown device type.
Failed to start Setup SocketCAN interface
```

What shoud I do? What do I check?
Please help me. Always thanks.

Answer

Verify that the `"vcan0"` device is available and correctly configured on your system. You can check this by running the command `ip link show` in your terminal. If `"vcan0"` is not listed, it means the device is not configured.
