Gen Vehicle Protocol Tool

adbctool is a convinent tool to let you quickly generate a nearly complete code for a new vehicle for Apollo.

You only have to do is to have the dbc file (which is a communication protocol for the car, which is usually made by the vehicle integrated company), and write a less 10 lines config for generate an encode/decode.

How to get vehicle's DBC file

• opendbc is a project that opens the vehicle dbc protocol.
• openvehicles is an open car project that contains any vehicle information you want to know.
• whl-vehicles Apollo vehicle protocols based by opendbc.

Quick start

Install

You can install adbctool by following cmd.

pip3 install adbctool

For local development (editable install):

python -m pip install -U pip setuptools
python -m pip install -e .

Note: parser runs in strict DBC mode by default. Non-standard comment lines such as # ... and // ... are treated as invalid syntax. Use standard DBC comment entries (CM_ ...) in source files.

Example

Generate c++ code based on dbc file.

• vehicle dbc file : vehicle's dbc file
• vehicle type: vehicle type
• sender: the sender of the message, the control protocol template will be used for sender

Generate code using a specific sender name

# adbctool -f <vehicle.dbc> -t <vehicle_type> --sender <sender_name>
adbctool -f test/acura_ilx_2016_nidec.dbc -t acura_ilx --sender ADAS

Or generate code using a list of sender IDs (in hexadecimal)

# adbctool -f <vehicle.dbc> -t <vehicle_type> --sender_list <sender_id_hex>
adbctool -f test/acura_ilx_2016_nidec.dbc -t acura_ilx --sender_list 0x400
