Virtual CAN-Bus

  1. You will have to generate initial CAN frames that will emulate the car ECU responding to the service:

    $ cangen -v can0 -L 8 -I 712 -D r -n 5
can0  712#4F.BF.B0.6B.5F.2D.54.09
can0  712#13.2E.98.7E.77.11.99.5B
can0  712#15.70.87.07.73.24.3A.7A
can0  712#99.7F.F5.3F.FB.99.00.04
can0  712#FE.1C.D5.55.22.86.3A.1F

  2. You can now start tracing CAN frames written to the bus with candump can0

  3. From now on when a request to change the seat position is issued you will be able to see the corresponding CAN frames in the trace.

Note: On QEMU you can tunnel the host CAN bus to the guest: Tunneling a CAN Interface from the Host.

Hardware CAN-Bus

The default configuration of the Seat Service is using simulated VCAN. If you want to switch to a physical CAN-Bus interface, the container needs to have access to the CAN-Bus hardware.

Such a CAN-Bus device might be a Raspberry Pi setup with an MCP251x-based CAN-Hat extension or a QEMU image with an emulated kvaser_pci device (enabled on the Leda QEMU Quickstart images by default).

This setup would require some adjustments to the container manifest in order for the container to have access to the physical CAN-Bus.

  1. Make Seat Service container privileged and run on the host network interface:

    "host_config": {
...
"network_mode": "host",
"privileged": true,
...
}

  2. Remove all port mappings and extra hosts (set "extra_hosts": [] and "port_mappings": []) for the container as it's now running in host-networking mode (host_ip variable no longer available) and all ports are directly exposed.

  3. Set the address to the databroker to localhost:30555:

        "config": {
    "env": [
       ...
        "BROKER_ADDR=127.0.0.1:30555",
       ...
    ],
    ...
    }

  4. Reconfigure the seat controller application to use the physical CAN interface,please see Eclipse Kuksa.VAL seat_controller/README.md for details:

    SC_CAN=can0
CAN=can0

Safety Considerations

Attention: Safety considerations are not in scope for this example tutorial. This example is for demonstrating the general approach. Actual safety requirements must be handled within the Seat ECU as the lowest level component to guard against non-safe use of the seat motors. Non-ASIL domains are not certified for safety requirements. Please pay attention when following the physical CAN tutorial and attaching physical actuators to not harm anybody by accidental movements of seat motors or any other actuator.

However, the Seat Adjuster example application contains a rudimentary "Safe State" condition check: it will only allow to move the seat when the vehicle is not moving.

The condition is using VSS path notation: Vehicle.Speed == 0.

Note: The Kuksa.VAL CAN Feeder, which is deployed by default on Eclipse Leda is constantly updating the Vehicle.Speed You need to disable the feedercan container (see step 7 of Getting started), otherwise the Seat Adjuster application will decline the request and not move the seat.
