This is a platform agnostic C library that implements the Unified Diagnostics Services protocol for automotive electronics. UDS is documented in ISO 14229 and is the underpinning for the more well-known On-board Diagnostics (OBD) standard. The library currently supports UDS running over CAN (ISO 15765-4), which uses the ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2) protocol for message framing.
This library doesn't assume anything about the source of your diagnostic message requests or underlying interface to the CAN bus. It uses dependency injection to give you complete control.
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.
bool send_can(const uint32_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 a DiagnosticShims object to pass them around:
DiagnosticShims shims = diagnostic_init_shims(debug, send_can, set_timer);
With your shims in hand, send a simple PID request to the standard broadcast
address, 0x7df (we use the constant OBD2_FUNCTIONAL_BROADCAST_ID here):
// Optional: This is your callback that will be called the response to your
// diagnostic request is received.
void response_received_handler(const DiagnosticResponse* response) {
// You received a response! Do something with it.
}
DiagnosticRequestHandle handle = diagnostic_request_pid(&shims,
DIAGNOSTIC_STANDARD_PID, // this is a standard PID request, not an extended or enhanced one
OBD2_FUNCTIONAL_BROADCAST_ID, // the request is going out to the broadcast arbitration ID
0x2, // we want PID 0x2
response_received_handler); // our callback (optional, use NULL if you don't have one)
if(handle.completed) {
if(!handle.success) {
// something happened and it already failed - possibly we aren't
// able to send CAN messages
return;
} else {
// this should never occur right away - you need to receive a fresh
// CAN message first
}
} else {
while(true) {
// Continue to read from CAN, passing off each message to the handle.
// This will return a 'completed' DiagnosticResponse when the when
// the request is completely sent and the response is received
// (which may take more than 1 CAN frames)
DiagnosticResponse response = diagnostic_receive_can_frame(&shims,
&handle, can_message_id, can_data, sizeof(can_data));
if(response.completed && handle.completed) {
if(handle.success) {
if(response.success) {
// The request was sent successfully, the response was
// received successfully, and it was a positive response - we
// got back some data!
} else {
// The request was sent successfully, the response was
// received successfully, BUT it was a negative response
// from the other node.
printf("This is the error code: %d", response.negative_response_code);
}
} else {
// Some other fatal error ocurred - we weren't able to send
// the request or receive the response. The CAN connection
// may be down.
}
}
}
}
If you want to do more besides PID requests on mode 0x1 and 0x22, there's a lower level API you can use. Here's how to make a mode 3 request to get DTCs.
DiagnosticRequest request = {
arbitration_id: OBD2_FUNCTIONAL_BROADCAST_ID,
mode: OBD2_MODE_EMISSIONS_DTC_REQUEST
};
DiagnosticRequestHandle handle = diagnostic_request(&SHIMS, &request, NULL);
if(handle.completed) {
if(!handle.success) {
// something happened and it already failed - possibly we aren't
// able to send CAN messages
return;
} else {
// this should never occur right away - you need to receive a fresh
// CAN message first
}
} else {
while(true) {
// Continue to read from CAN, passing off each message to the handle.
// This will return a 'completed' DiagnosticResponse when the when
// the request is completely sent and the response is received
// (which may take more than 1 CAN frames)
DiagnosticResponse response = diagnostic_receive_can_frame(&shims,
&handle, can_message_id, can_data, sizeof(can_data));
if(response.completed && handle.completed) {
if(handle.success) {
if(response.success) {
// The request was sent successfully, the response was
// received successfully, and it was a positive response - we
// got back some data!
printf("The DTCs are: ");
for(int i = 0; i < response.payload_length; i++) {
printf("0x%x ", response.payload[i]);
}
} else {
// The request was sent successfully, the response was
// received successfully, BUT it was a negative response
// from the other node.
printf("This is the error code: %d", response.negative_response_code);
}
} else {
// Some other fatal error ocurred - we weren't able to send
// the request or receive the response. The CAN connection
// may be down.
}
}
}
}
This library requires 2 dependencies:
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
TODO diagram out a request, response and error response
- store the request arb id, mode, pid, and payload locally
- send a can message
- get all new can messages passed to it
- Check the incoming can message to see if it matches one of the standard ECU response IDs, or our arb ID + 0x8
- if it matches, parse the diagnostic response and call the callback
you're going to request a few PIDs over and over again at some frequency you're going to request DTCs once and read the response you're going to clear DTCs once
we need another layer on top of that to handle the repeated requests.
