ecuconnect-tool 0.9.7

Python ECUconnect CLI and CANyonero protocol bindings

ecuconnect-tool (Python)

Python CLI for ECUconnect using libCANyonero bindings. The default transport is WiFi/TCP at 192.168.42.42:129 (override with --endpoint for mocks or other adapters).

Install

From PyPI (TCP transport only):

pipx install ecuconnect-tool

With BLE/L2CAP support on Linux (needs system python3-dbus and python3-gi):

sudo apt install python3-dbus python3-gi
pipx install --system-site-packages ecuconnect-tool

From the repo (editable, for development):

python3 -m pip install -e ./python/ecuconnect_tool

Quick start

ecuconnect-tool info
ecuconnect-tool login
ecuconnect-tool ping 512 --count 10
ecuconnect-tool benchmark --count 32
ecuconnect-tool term 500000 --proto raw
ecuconnect-tool --url ecuconnect-l2cap://FFF1:129 term 500000 --proto raw
ecuconnect-tool monitor --bitrate 500000
ecuconnect-tool send "02 3E 80" --tx-id 0x123 --rx-id 0x321
ecuconnect-tool test --can-interface can0 --busload 1 --duration 5

BLE/L2CAP

Use the ECUconnect L2CAP endpoint format (works on both macOS and Linux):

ecuconnect-tool --url ecuconnect-l2cap://FFF1:129 info

macOS

Install CoreBluetooth bindings:

python3 -m pip install pyobjc-framework-CoreBluetooth

Optionally target a specific peripheral UUID:

ecuconnect-tool --url ecuconnect-l2cap://FFF1:129/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc info

Linux

See install section above for dependencies. Discovery uses the BlueZ D-Bus API; the L2CAP connection uses the kernel socket API directly.

Optionally filter by BD_ADDR:

ecuconnect-tool --url ecuconnect-l2cap://FFF1:129/DC:DA:0C:3A:E3:06 info

Dev flow (no install)

This builds the native extension in-place and runs the CLI from the repo:

python3 -m pip install --user pybind11 typer rich python-can
python3 ./python/ecuconnect_tool/scripts/run_dev.py test --can-interface can0 --busload 20 --duration 5

Auto ramp mode (start at 1 pps, step 1 pps until max busload):

ecuconnect-tool test --can-interface can0 --busload auto --auto-max-busload 1

Preflight info + ping happens before the load test by default. Disable with --preflight false. Use --preflight-only to stop after the connectivity checks (no CAN open). Use --traffic none to open the CAN channel + set arbitration, then exit without data transfer. Use --traffic rx for CAN->ECU only, --traffic tx for ECU->CAN only.

Notes

• ecuconnect-l2cap:// is supported on macOS (CoreBluetooth) and Linux (BlueZ + kernel L2CAP).
• Windows currently supports TCP endpoints only.
• Socket buffers default to 4M; override with --rx-buffer/--tx-buffer using bytes or K/M/G suffixes.
• Set ECUCONNECT_DEBUG_IO=1 to print raw TX/RX frame traces while debugging transport issues.
