buildroot-2017.11.1 and cape manager for Beaglebone Black.
You don't need cape manager for the built-in CAN controllers of the BBB or to use any CAN capes with external CAN controllers that the BBB communicates with over SPI.
It's just a matter of adding some sections to your dts. You can do it with an include to your main dts.
Here are some links for dts includes to the 4.4 mainline kernel to enable the built-in CAN controllers. Just a little pin muxing. This assumes you have the kernel modules enabled, which you probably do.
The cape manager stuff was never supported by mainline linux or even TI linux kernels only the Beaglebone specific kernels. And it's not even supported by the Beagleboard folks anymore.They have moved to a u-boot approach.
Cape manager is a technological dead-end.

Thanks a lot, you have saved me. It's working and I owe to you a couple of beers :)
