CANblaster

Utility to forward socketcan CAN bus traffic over unreliable links via UDP

Features

• Auto-discovery via multicast UDP
• Forwarding of standard CAN frames over UDP
• Compatability with cangaroo analyzer software
• Supports multiple clients

Implementation

• Broadcast multicast UDP frames to announce to any listening applications (such as cangaroo) at configurable rate
• Listening applications broadcast a heartbeat message to CANblaster
• As long as the listening application is transmitting a heartbeat, CANblaster transmits a unicast UDP frame for each CAN message on the bus

In Progress

• Forwarding of FD frames over UDP (in progress)
• Transmission of CAN frames from rx'ed UDP frames
