CANdid Server

A server that faciliates connections between remote TCP clients and a local CAN bus. Clients are sent frames read off the bus, and may send frames back to the server that are then written to the bus.

Repository: https://gitlab.com/avandesa/candid-rs

Documentation: https://docs.rs/crate/candid_server/

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Because the server uses the socketcan crate, a wrapper for the Linux SocketCAN kernel module, the server can only run on a Linux system with the relevant modules compiled and loaded.

Installing

To install the server: $ cargo install candid_server To run the server on a vcan0 interface and localhost: ```

modprobe can can_raw vcan

ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan

ip link set up vcan0

$ candidserver 127.0.0.1:6556 vcan0 ``` Use candidclient to connect to the server. There are examples in the repository for both sending and receiving frames.

Built With

• SocketCAN - The underlying kernel module.
• socketcan Crate - Rust bindings for the C library.
