DOIP-SDK

This is the Software Development Kit (SDK) for DOIP implementation in Python. It provides a template for DOIP servers as well as some utility methods to facilitate the implementation. Please check our documentation page.

Installation

This package requires Python version >=3.11. To install it, run:

# Using pip
$ pip install doip-sdk

# Using poetry
$ poetry add doip-sdk

Quick start

Server side

Suppose that we want to implement a server, which speaks DOIP. For that, we first need to create a handler. A handler is a component which handles incoming requests. Below is an example handler, which simply returns a success message.

from collections.abc import Iterator

from doip_sdk import DOIPHandler, ServerResponse, ResponseStatus, write_json_segment, write_empty_segment, DOIPServer


class ExampleHandler(DOIPHandler):
    def hello(self, first_segment: dict, _: Iterator[bytearray]):
        response = ServerResponse(status=ResponseStatus.SUCCESS)
        write_json_segment(
            socket=self.request,
            message=response.model_dump(exclude_none=True)
        )
        write_empty_segment(socket=self.request)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    HOST, PORT = 'localhost', 9999
    service_id = 'test-server'
    with DOIPServer(service_id, HOST, PORT, ExampleHandler) as server:
        server.start()

On line 18, we create a server instance, which uses the ExampleHandler, and start it. According to the DOIP Specification, all communication must take place over a secured channel. Therefore, if a private key and a certificate are not provided, the DOIPServer generates a self-signed certificate and use it.

To stop the server, simply press ctrl + c.

The ExampleHandler above overrides the hello method, which is called when a 0.DOIP/Op.Hello operation is received. Currently, these methods below can be overridden:

• hello
• create
• retrieve
• update
• delete
• search
• list_operation
• extended_operation

All of them have the same signature, where the first parameter (except self) is the first segment in the request, and the second parameter is an Iterator[bytearray], which can be used to read other segments in the message.

Each method will be called respectively based on the operationId from the client. If the operationId does not refer to a basic operation, the extended_operation method will be triggered instead. It is not required to implement all those methods. If the client asks for an unsupported operation, an error message will be automatically returned.

Client side

An example client for the server above can be implemented as follows:

from doip_sdk import send_request

if __name__ == '__main__':
    host, port = 'localhost', 9999
    data = {
        'operationId': '0.DOIP/Op.Hello'
    }
    response = send_request(host=host, port=port, payload=[data])

    for segment in response.content:
        print(segment.decode('utf-8'))

The example client sends a request with the Hello operation and print out the response.
