It pulls the neccessary details of the -messages (bit position, bit size, offset, etc) and outputs the resulting subset -as JSON into the output file, `signals.json`. - -The resulting file together with `mapping.json` will work as input to the code -generation script. - -### Generate your config file - -To generate your config file you just have to run the generator using the `-m` -option to specify your JSON file. - -```bash -./can-config-generator -m ../tests/basic.json -o application-generated.cpp -``` - -If you omit the `-o` option, then code is generated on the stdout. -You also can specify a header and a footer file. -These files must be valid C++ fragment as long as they will be inserted as is. -Use the `-h` option to display help. - -> **CAUTION:** Each `diagnostic_message` must define the same `bus` as the -> binding will use only one bus. - -### Supported OpenXC items - -About now, compliance with OpenXC reference is in progress, can-config-generator -and CAN\_signaling will implement them soon. `initializers`, `loopers`, -`commands` and `handlers` nodes are ignored for now. - -This generator will follow OpenXC support status of the low level CAN signaling -binding. - -> **NOTE**: The `buses` item will not be supported by this generator because -> the binding use another way to declare and configure buses.

In the following -example, it will use port **1234** and left empty security token for testing -purpose: - -```bash -afb-daemon --binding=/var/lib/afm/applications/low-can-service/4.0/lib/afb-low-can.so --rootdir=/var/lib/afm/applications/low-can-service/4.0/ --port=1234 --token=1 -NOTICE: binding [/usr/lib/afb/afb-dbus-binding.so] calling registering function afbBindingV1Register -NOTICE: binding /usr/lib/afb/afb-dbus-binding.so loaded with API prefix dbus -NOTICE: binding [/usr/lib/afb/authLogin.so] calling registering function afbBindingV1Register -NOTICE: binding /usr/lib/afb/authLogin.so loaded with API prefix auth -NOTICE: binding [/var/lib/afm/applications/low-can-service/4.0/libs//low-can-binding.so] calling registering function afbBindingV1Register -NOTICE: binding /var/lib/afm/applications/low-can-service/4.0/libs//low-can-binding.so loaded with API prefix low-can -NOTICE: Waiting port=1234 rootdir=/var/lib/afm/applications/low-can-service/4.0/ -NOTICE: Browser URL= http:/*localhost:1234 -``` - -On another terminal, connect to the binding using previously installed -_**AFB Websocket CLI**_ tool: - -```bash -afb-client-demo ws://localhost:1234/api?token=1 -``` - -You will be on an interactive session where you can communicate directly with -the binding API. - -The binding provides at this moment 2 verbs, _subscribe_ and _unsubscribe_, -which can take argument by a JSON **event** object. - -The argument value is the CAN message **generic\_name** as described in the -JSON file used to generate cpp file for the binding. - -To use the _**AFB Websocket CLI**_ tool, a command line will be like the -following : - -```xml -<api> <verb> <arguments> -``` - -Where: - -* API : _**low-can**_. -* Verb : _**subscribe**_ or _**unsubscribe**_ -* Arguments : _**{ "event": "driver.doors.open" }**_ - -## Subscription and unsubscription - -You can ask to subscribe to chosen CAN event with a call to _subscribe_ API -verb with the CAN messages name as JSON argument. - -> **NOTE:** If no argument is provided, then you'll subscribe to all signals at -> once. - -For example from a websocket session: - -```json -low-can subscribe { "event": "doors.driver.open" } -ON-REPLY 1:low-can/subscribe: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","uuid":"a18fd375-b6fa-4c0e-a1d4-9d3955975ae8"}} -``` - -Subscription and unsubscription can take wildcard in their _event_ value. - -To receive all doors events : - -```json -low-can subscribe { "event" : "doors*" } -ON-REPLY 1:low-can/subscribe: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","uuid":"511c872e-d7f3-4f3b-89c2-aa9a3e9fbbdb"}} -``` - -Then you will receive an event each time a CAN message is decoded for the event -named _doors.driver.open_ - -```json -ON-EVENT low-can/messages.doors.driver.open({"event":"low-can\/messages.doors.driver.open","data":{"name":"messages.doors.driver.open","value":true},"jtype":"afb-event"}) -``` - -Notice that event shows you that the CAN event is named -_messages.doors.driver.open_ but you ask for event about _doors.driver.open_. - -This is because all CAN messages or diagnostic messages are prefixed by the -JSON parent node name, **messages** for CAN messages and -**diagnostic\_messages** for diagnostic messages like OBD2. - -This will let you subscribe or unsubcribe to all signals at once, not -recommended, and better make filter on subscribe operation based upon their -type. Examples: - -```json -low-can subscribe { "event" : "*speed*" } --> will subscribe to all messages with speed in their name. Search will be make without prefix for it. -low-can subscribe { "event" : "speed*" } --> will subscribe to all messages begin by speed in their name. Search will be make without prefix for it. -low-can subscribe { "event" : "messages*speed*" } --> will subscribe to all CAN messages with speed in their name. Search will be on prefixed messages here. -low-can subscribe { "event" : "messages*speed" } --> will subscribe to all CAN messages ending with speed in their name. Search will be on prefixed messages here. -low-can subscribe { "event" : "diagnostic*speed*" } --> will subscribe to all diagnostic messages with speed in their name. Search will be on prefixed messages here. -low-can subscribe { "event" : "diagnostic*speed" } --> will subscribe to all diagnostic messages ending with speed in their name. Search will be on prefixed messages here. -``` - -You can stop receiving event from it by unsubscribe the signal the same way you -did for subscribe - -```json -low-can unsubscribe { "event": "doors.driver.open" } -ON-REPLY 2:low-can/unsubscribe: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"}} -low-can unsubscribe { "event" : "doors*" } -ON-REPLY 3:low-can/unsubscribe: {"jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success"}} -``` - -### Filtering capabilities - -It is possible to limits received event notifications into minimum and maximum -boundaries as well as doing frequency thinning. This is possible using the -argument filter with one or more of the filters available : - -* frequency: specify in Hertz the frequency which will be used to getting - notified of new CAN events for the designated signal. If, during the - blocked time, further changed CAN messages are received, the last valid one - will be transferred after the lockout with a RX_CHANGED. -* min: Minimum value that the decoded value needs to be above to get pushed - to the subscribed client(s). -* max: Maximum value that the decoded value needs to be below to get pushed to - the subscribed client(s) - -Order doesn't matter neither the number of filters chosen, you can use one, two -or all of them at once. - -Usage examples : - -```json -low-can subscribe {"event": "messages.engine.speed", "filter": { "frequency": 3, "min": 1250, "max": 3500}} -low-can subscribe {"event": "messages.engine.load", "filter": { "min": 30, "max": 100}} -low-can subscribe {"event": "messages.vehicle.speed", "filter": { "frequency": 2}} -``` - -## Using CAN utils to monitor CAN activity - -You can watch CAN traffic and send custom CAN messages using can-utils -preinstalled on AGL target. - -To watch watch going on a CAN bus use: - -```bash -candump can0 -``` - -Or for an USB CAN adapter connected to porter board: - -```bash -candump can1 -``` - -Send a custom message: - -```bash -cansend can0 ID#DDDDAAAATTTTAAAA -``` - -You can also replay a previously dumped CAN logfiles. These logfiles can be -found in _can_samples_ directory under Git repository. Following examples use a -real trip from an Auris Toyota car. - -Trace has been recorded from a CAN device `can0` so you have to map it to the -correct one you use for your tests. - -Replay on a virtual CAN device `vcan0`: - -```bash -canplayer -I trip_test_with_obd2_vehicle_speed_requests vcan0=can0 -``` - -Replay on a CAN device `can0`: - -```bash -canplayer -I trip_test_with_obd2_vehicle_speed_requests can0 -``` - -Replay on a CAN device `can1` (porter by example): - -```bash -canplayer -I trip_test_with_obd2_vehicle_speed_requests can1=can0 -``` |
