+===Setting up a BeagleBone for pyPLC including CAN commincation===
 There are a number of platforms that pyPLC will run on, for example also on a Raspberry Pi or any other linux computer. The BeagleBone is quite cheap and versatile. Make sure you grab a version with an Ethernet port like the BB green or BB black.
 Then here are the steps to get up and running:
-# Upgrade to the latest debian image (at the time of writing that is Debian 10.3 IoT): https://beagleboard.org/latest-images

	Charging via CCS DC Fast Charge requires Powerline Communication (PLC). The TP-Link TL-PA4010 (discontinued, but widely available used) is an inexpensive home PLC unit that is designed to use a residence's mains wiring (power lines) as a communication medium for ethernet. It can be repurposed to be used as a CCS EV Communications Controller (EVCC)<ref>https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2262</ref>. Additional resources have been compiled by uhi22<ref>https://github.com/uhi22/pyPLC</ref>.		Charging via CCS DC Fast Charge requires Powerline Communication (PLC).

In its new role, it communicates via PLC over the CP line to the EVSE. It can be reliable when powered by a range of low DC voltages, 12v down to under 5v.

	The TL-PA4010 utilizes the Qualcomm Atheros QCA7420 PLC comm IC. Examples can be purchased via eBay etc. for well under USD$20 (Apr2023). Variants include single-PCB ~~versions as well as two-PCB~~, ~~which are used when the unit provides~~ a pass-through ~~mains connnector~~. Both variants utilize the same PLC IC and adapt well for CCS.		The TL-PA4010 utilizes the Qualcomm Atheros QCA7420 PLC comm IC.
