Hallo Galen,
I know my reply is for sure not a great help, but may be it is good to know for you, that I'm also using the SK-S7G2 board with
SSP 1.1.0 alpha and CAN-Bus is working.
I assume if open() won't return SSP_SUCCESS, then something could be wrong in the configuration.
Following my configuration settings, which make my CAN-Bus work with 50 kBit (CIA).
Regards
Ralph
