Has anyone been successful in finding Solution to Virtualize CAN Controller PCI Card.
I have a setup were I want to Bridge a CAN Card between the Guest & the Host, simply simulating CAN Communication.
Any suggestion on how to perform this ?
Thanks.

Yes: Forget it. PCI Devices can not be passed to guest.

VBox has to create a virtual version of every hardware class it wants to offer inside the VM. The virtual version must expose the same IO registers, memory regions and interrupts that the real hardware would expose. There is no practical way for it to virtualize hardware it doesn't know anything about. The only thing you could it is to get the OSE sources and work out how to do the virtualisation yourself; I doubt that's practical.
