Does Matlab supports socket can communication?

I am using CAN device from CANable vendor, I have installed vehicle network toolbox, but it seems it doesnt support CAN device from CANable vendor. I was using can module in python before, is there anything similar to socket can in MATLAB which works with any of the CAN device.

SocketCAN devices are supported in Vehicle Network Toolbox since MATLAB R2023b on a supported Linux OS :

SocketCAN Interface Support from Vehicle Network Toolbox

If I upgrade my 2022b to 2023b, will my existing vehicle network toolbox suddenly get this SocketCAN dropdown? (I'm on a windows computer, using embedded coder with Raspberry Pi as a target.)

I guess the answer is no. I upgraded to matlab 2023b. I removed the CANFD block from the project, re-added it from the library with the same result:

William, Vehicle Network Toolbox supports SocketCAN Devices only on a Linux host machine. It doesn't support code generation for targets (such as Raspberry Pi).

Just to add more information here: You can use Simulink support package for Raspberry Pi to communicate with CAN devices using SocketCAN. You would need a MCP2515 based CAN shield on top of Raspberry Pi.
