Command Line Tools

With all tools, the library will attempt to autodetect the payload format being used by the VI. If it’s not sending any messages this is not possible, so you may need to provide the current payload format explicitly with the --format flag. For example, here’s a command to change the passthrough status of bus 1, but with the payload format for the request explicitly set the protocol buffers:

$ openxc-control set --bus 1 --passthrough --format protobuf

The following links describe the available openxc-python commands.

• openxc-generate-firmware-code - configure CAN messages, signals and buses
• openxc-control - write messages to the VI and change its settings
• openxc-dashboard - an ncurses UI to view data received from a VI
• openxc-diag - Send and receive OBD-II diagnostic messages
• openxc-dump - view the unfiltered stream of data from a VI
• openxc-gps - convert a vehicle data stream to GPX format
• openxc-obd2scanner - detect OBD-II PIDs supported by a vehicle
• openxc-scanner - scanner for determining support diagnostic requests
• openxc-trace-split - split merged OpenXC trace files into separate trips
