I have not worked with MPC251x but the HI-311x performs much better because HI-3110 features: 8 message FIFO (as opposed to 2 buffers on MPC2510) 20 MHz SPI interface (as opposed to 2.5 MHz on MPC2510) As for the real world test results: With RT patch applied to the kernel running on a i.MX6 Dual processor (worst case interrupt latency of 50us as reported by cyclictest), there are ZERO packet drops. Tested with Kvaser Leaf sending 100 burst messages (back to back) every 40ms at a 1M CAN bit rate. 10 million messages were sent by the Kvaser leaf and received successfully by the HI-311x driver. Even without the RT patch, I was able to get the packet drop to zero but this was by moving the CAN/SPI IRQ threads to CPU1 instead of CPU0. Hence I feel the driver is a good candidate to be included in the Linux kernel.
