How to use socketcan in android application layer

[Peter Chen]

hey, guys.

I'v finished sunxi CAN drive in the socketcan mode.And I write a C program proved it works.I can send and receive packet correctlly.

Since I'm not an android app developer, I wonder how can I write a demo app by using the socketcan method.Can anyone give me some suggestions.Thaks.

Not sure if there's many android devs on this list ... :(

Glad you were able to get the documentation for CAN

I'm not sure I understood what you mean (if you tested the driver
probably you have already written a demo :)
With socketcan you see the CAN bus as a network interface (canX), so
you can use the socket interface. The fact that you are working with
the CAN bus is totally transparent.
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt)

BTW, if willing, please post the source code for review :)

Sorry for my poor english.I mean I want to write an APP to send/receive CAN message.Since I use socketcan, so I wonder how to write the APP in a proper way.Do I need to write the HAL, JNI and service?Or I can just use the network programming way.

And for the source code, I put it on my github. Anyone interested can visit via:https://github.com/ryangithub/sunxi-can-driver

Please, do not top-post.
I'm not an Android programmer but at low level with socketcan you have
to use classical socket APIs.
No idea for upper layers HAL / JNI / ...

I'm not sure if you are interested in mainlining the code, it requires
a bit more work in cleaning but IMO it is definitely doable.
If you are interested, please submit the patches for review.

BTW, if you have the documentation for CAN, please let us have it so
Oliver can add it to the wiki.

Peter,

Thanks for your socketcan driver!!! please, would be great to have the CAN controller documentation, so everybody can help to improve your work.

There is an Android image for other processor (I.mx6) that has CANBUS (using socketcan) and other I/O support, with some small application examples:

Android Jellybean 4.2.2 for EDM1-CF-IMX6 (Now with .apk utilities for GPIO/CANbus/Serial)

Leandro,

Thanks for you reply.The link should helps me a lot.Here is the CAN controller document, hope it help those CAN driver deps.

Thanks for your documentation!
AFAIK, there is Flexcan implement in android framework,
https://github.com/zhangjie201412/Flexcan.git
hope this helps.

Hi Peter

Thank you for the work on the can driver. Have you moved your sunxi-can-driver git repo?

I cant access it.

Hi Peter

Good work on the CAN driver. I am unable to access your git repo. Is your
git repo still available?

Hi

Here's what I got from googlecache, in case Peter doesn't show up.
