Thank you! This is very helpful :)

If feasible, we would prefer to emulate a CAN controller that has a LinCan 
port, so that we have a "known good" software configuration to work with...

http://ortcan.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ortcan/lincan;a=tree;f=lincan/src

We would want to have the student write an emulation for the CAN portion of one 
(1) of the CAN controllers... We will want to be able to hook it into 
qemu-system-arm... which of these controllers would it be more feasible to 
write an emulation for?
