For example, a signal exposing whether or not a door is open, no matter which one it is. Also, we can imagine an application which supervise if there is no one in the car but moving (1m, 2m ?) to alert the owner of an unexpected behavior. The high level binding will sends a single event representing that behavior to the application which in turn will send a phone message to. - -- Low level: Decode messages that transit and send event through **Application Framework** to the subscribers with human readable message. It provides some basic access to the bus + some basic mathematical, statistical features (last_values, min, max, timestamps, averaging) as well as basic filter to get discerning signal only (This part are not implemented yet in the low level). - - -![Binding_architecture][CAN_bindings_communication] - -Last be not least, the low level binding can be shipped as binary only using OpenXC inspired [generator][generator]. - -# Prerequirements - -- An AGL system installed with a Chinook version. - -- Make sure you built the AGL generator else you will not be able to generate custom low-level CAN binding. Generator can be found [here][generator] with the attached instruction to install and run it. It will produce a *configuration-generated.cpp* file to paste in the source, *src/*, directory. - -- Make sure you already set up the AGL SDK using the following [guide][SDK_instructions]. - -To get the correct SDK version installed, you **must** prepare your environment with the **chinook-next** version. To do so, run the following command in your docker image: - -```bash -$ prepare_meta -f chinook-next -o /xdt -l /home/devel/mirror -p /home/devel/share/proprietary-renesas-rcar/ -t porter -e wipeconfig -e rm_work -``` - -- Check that you updated git submodules, executing the following commands from this repository: - -```bash -$ git submodule init -$ git submodule update -``` - -- An [USB CAN adapter][USB_CAN] connected to OBD2 connector through the [right cable][OBD2_cable]. - -# Getting started - -## Compile and install the binding - -With an AGL SDK environment correctly configured, I suggest you to set the TARGET variable in the root CMakeLists.txt file, if you have an AGL target already running in your network. - -Then you can directly build and install the binding and source directory on your target system. - -Execute these commands to get your binding compile : - -```bash -$ mkdir build -$ cd build -$ cmake .. -$ make +Full document can be found under `docs` directory. +Note that your can use gitbook to serve documentation: ``` - -And if you have set TARGET variable, you can install it on your AGL system : - -```bash -$ make install -[ 16%] Built target bitfield -[ 27%] Built target isotp -[ 40%] Built target openxc -[ 48%] Built target uds -[ 97%] Built target low-can-binding -[100%] Built target widget -Install the project... --- Install configuration: "" -true -{ "added": "low-can-binding@0.1" } -``` - -It's possible that you'll see the following message : - -```bash -Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: "system error" -``` - -It's because installation remove the binding before installing it. - -If it is the first time that you make the installation then you'll have this message in place of ***true***. - -To install it manually, you need to copy the *low-can-binding.wgt* file on your target, then from it execute the following commands : - -On your host, to copy over the network : - -```bash -$ scp low-can-binding.wgt root@<target_IP>:~ -``` - -On the target, assuming ***wgt*** file is in the root home directory : - -```bash -~# afm-util install low-can-binding.wgt -{ "added": "low-can-binding@0.1" } -``` -## Install AFB Websocket CLI client to test the binding. - -You can test it using afb-client-demo CLI tool provided by the RPM package *libafbwsc-dev*. - -You can find this package in your build environment, using docker SDK recommended setup the file is */xdt/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/<your-target-arch>/*. - -After a successful bitbake build and using Renesas RCar Gen2, Porter, you have to copy the file if your board is connected to your network and you know its IP address: - -```bash -$ scp /xdt/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/cortex15hf_neon/libafbwsc-dev-1.0-r0.cortexa15hf_neon.rpm root@<target_IP>:~ -``` - -Else, you have to copy into the SDcard with the AGL image installed on it. - -From the docker image copy RPM to the shared directory between docker image and your host: - -```bash -$ cp /xdt/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/cortex15hf_neon/libafbwsc-dev-1.0-r0.cortexa15hf_neon.rpm ~/share -``` - -Then plugin you SDcard in your Linux host (Windows can't read ext4 filesystem AGL runs on) and copy RPM file on it. - -From your host, identify SDcard block device node here it is **sdc** with the correct capacity automounted by the desktop manager: - -```bash -$ lsblk -loop1 7:1 0 2G 0 loop -└─docker-253:0-3146365-pool 253:3 0 100G 0 dm - └─docker-253:0-3146365-e9f80849a2681e18549d3a4238cbf031e44052e36cd88a0abf041804b799b61c - 253:4 0 10G 0 dm /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/mnt/e9f80849a2681e18549d3a4238cbf031e44052e36cd88a0abf041804b799b61c -sdb 8:16 0 238.5G 0 disk -├─sdb2 8:18 0 238G 0 part -│ └─Shamash-agl 253:1 0 238G 0 lvm /home/claneys/Workspace/agl-docker -└─sdb1 8:17 0 500M 0 part /boot -sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom -loop0 7:0 0 100G 0 loop -└─docker-253:0-3146365-pool 253:3 0 100G 0 dm - └─docker-253:0-3146365-e9f80849a2681e18549d3a4238cbf031e44052e36cd88a0abf041804b799b61c - 253:4 0 10G 0 dm /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/mnt/e9f80849a2681e18549d3a4238cbf031e44052e36cd88a0abf041804b799b61c -sdc 8:32 1 14.9G 0 disk -└─sdc1 8:33 1 2G 0 part /run/media/claneys/97f418a5-612f-44e9-b968-a19505695151 -sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk -├─sda2 8:2 0 500G 0 part -│ ├─Shamash-home 253:2 0 150G 0 lvm /home -│ └─Shamash-root 253:0 0 50G 0 lvm / -└─sda1 8:1 0 16G 0 part [SWAP] -``` - -Copy, still from your host: - -> **Caution** Make sure to sync IO with sync command before unplug your SDcard.
