+ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2) Support Library in C
+================================
+
+This is a platform agnostic C library that implements the ISO 15765-2 (also
+known as ISO-TP) protocol, which runs over a CAN bus. Quoting Wikipedia:
+
+>ISO 15765-2, or ISO-TP, is an international standard for sending data packets
+>over a CAN-Bus. The protocol allows for the transport of messages that exceed
+>the eight byte maximum payload of CAN frames. ISO-TP segments longer messages
+>into multiple frames, adding metadata that allows the interpretation of
+>individual frames and reassembly into a complete message packet by the
+>recipient. It can carry up to 4095 bytes of payload per message packet.
+
+This library doesn't assume anything about the source of the ISO-TP messages or
+the underlying interface to CAN. It uses dependency injection to give you
+complete control.
+
+The current version supports *only single frame ISO-TP messages*. This is fine
+for OBD-II diagnostic messages, for example, but this library needs some
+additional work before it can support sending larger messages.
+
+## Usage
+
+First, create some shim functions to let this library use your lower level
+system:
+
+ // required, this must send a single CAN message with the given arbitration
+ // ID (i.e. the CAN message ID) and data. The size will never be more than 8
+ // bytes.
+ void send_can(const uint16_t arbitration_id, const uint8_t* data,
+ const uint8_t size) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+ // optional, provide to receive debugging log messages
+ void debug(const char* format, ...) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+
+ // not used in the current version
+ void set_timer(uint16_t time_ms, void (*callback)) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+With your shims in place, create an IsoTpShims object to pass them around:
+
+ IsoTpShims shims = isotp_init_shims(debug, send_can, set_timer);
+
+### API
+
+With your shims in hand, send an ISO-TP message:
+
+ // Optional: This is your callback that will be called when the message is
+ // completely sent. If it was single frame (the only type supported right
+ // now), this will be called immediately.
+ void message_sent(const IsoTpMessage* message, const bool success) {
+ // You received the message! Do something with it.
+ }
+
+ IsoTpSendHandle handle = isotp_send(&shims, 0x100, NULL, 0, message_sent);
+
+ if(handle.completed) {
+ if(!handle.success) {
+ // something happened and it already failed - possibly we aren't able to
+ // send CAN messages
+ return;
+ } else {
+ // If the message fit in a single frame, it's already been sent
+ // and you're done
+ }
+ } else {
+ while(true) {
+ // Continue to read from CAN, passing off each message to the handle
+ // this will return true when the message is completely sent (which
+ // may take more than one call if it was multi frame and we're waiting
+ // on flow control responses from the receiver)
+ bool complete = isotp_continue_send(&shims, &handle, 0x100, data, size);
+
+ if(complete && handle.completed) {
+ if(handle.success) {
+ // All frames of the message have now been sent, following
+ // whatever flow control feedback it got from the receiver
+ } else {
+ // the message was unable to be sent and we bailed - fatal
+ // error!
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Finally, receive an ISO-TP message:
+
+ // Optional: This is your callback for when a complete ISO-TP message is
+ // received at the arbitration ID you specify. The completed message is
+ // also returned by isotp_continue_receive, which can sometimes be more
+ // useful since you have more context.
+ void message_received(const IsoTpMessage* message) {
+ }
+
+ IsoTpReceiveHandle handle = isotp_receive(&shims, 0x100, message_received);
+ if(!handle.success) {
+ // something happened and it already failed - possibly we aren't able to
+ // send CAN messages
+ } else {
+ while(true) {
+ // Continue to read from CAN, passing off each message to the handle
+ IsoTpMessage message = isotp_continue_receive(&shims, &handle, 0x100, data, size);
+
+ if(message.completed && handle.completed) {
+ if(handle.success) {
+ // A message has been received successfully
+ } else {
+ // Fatal error - we weren't able to receive a message and
+ // gave up trying. A message using flow control may have
+ // timed out.
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+## Testing
+
+The library includes a test suite that uses the `check` C unit test library.
+
+ $ make test
+
+You can also see the test coverage if you have `lcov` installed and the
+`BROWSER` environment variable set to your choice of web browsers:
+
+ $ BROWSER=google-chrome-stable make coverage
