Dear NXP,

I am working on iMX8 with Android P Automotive. I confused with value mentioned in the following file.

Could you explain the following content (mentioned in bold) and let me know for adding new parameter and adding values.

source/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/drivers/mxc/vehicle/vehicle_core.h

#ifdef CONFIG_VEHICLE_DRIVER_OREO
#define HVAC_FAN_SPEED 306185472
#define HVAC_FAN_DIRECTION 306185473
#define HVAC_AUTO_ON 304088330
#define HVAC_AC_ON 304088325
#define HVAC_RECIRC_ON 304088328
#define HVAC_DEFROSTER 320865540
#define HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET 308282627
#define HVAC_POWER_ON 304088336
#else
#define HVAC_FAN_SPEED 356517120
#define HVAC_FAN_DIRECTION 356517121
#define HVAC_AUTO_ON 354419978
#define HVAC_AC_ON 354419973

Hi vinothkumars‌,

I went through vehicle Hal, It says vehicle HAL is connected to an emulator instead of a real vehicle network. I dont see any implementations wrt to communication with CAN.

Is there a way Vehicle HAL can receive CAN commands and send it up to application? I want this in cortex A35 .I dont want to move can to M4. I have tested CAN on IMX8 using canutils.

Hi,

Physical CAN communicate with Vehicle HAL via Emulator only and the Callbacks called by CAR service from Emulator

Hi vinothkumars‌,

Physical CAN communicate with Vehicle HAL via Emulator only and the Callbacks called by CAR service from Emulator.

Could you be elaborate or give more insight into this?

I went through the code but couldn't find any code related to CAN communication with HAL via Emulator.

I also saw your post on sending CAN data to HAL. How are you sending this? 

Problem in sending Int array vehicle data

Hi,

You needs to port CAN driver in M4 SDK Code,

Hi vinothkumars‌,

Thank you. I wanted to try without porting can to M4. Isn't it possible in cortex a35?

I was thinking as canutils talk to can driver and dump messages cant I do the same dumping & sending it to vhal?

I am want to send dummy data from VHAL to car services up to application?

Any examples or pointers to this?

Sriraksha

Hi,

By default CAN communication needs M4 MCU (rpmsg)

Check dts file,

      source/vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale

You can use dumpsys commands to simulation purpose,

Hi vinothkumars

Thank you.

Any idea on when will default implementation ie vehicle emulator called ? /hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/impl/vhal_v2_0/

I have manually started the service./vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.automotive.vehicle@2.0-service       
Logs as below:

Hi vinothkumars‌,

 Yes i was able to run kitchen sink app application and look into different menu like VHAL or property etc. But none of the calls were made to this vehicle emulator here  /hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/impl/vhal_v2_0/. I dint see any logs from vehicle service 

(/vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.automotive.vehicle@2.0-service)

when Kitchen sink app is running.

Build steps:

source build/envsetup.sh

lunch mek_8q_car-userdebug

./imx-make.sh -j4 

for any changes in modules i use mma.

I read that SocketComm opens a socket, and listens for connections from clients. Typically the client will be
adb's TCP port-forwarding to enable a host PC to connect to the VehicleHAL. So what basically is it reading from adb? 

I am getting confused here.Currently SocketComm thread is not started at all. I dont see any logs from it.

Hi,

for example PERF_VEHICLE_SPEED

Open the KitchenSink application -> select property tab -> enable PERF_VEHICLE_SPEED

send the following command from terminal,

     dumpsys activity service com.android.car inject-vhal-event 0x11600207 23

Provide your full log also

* @change_mode VehiclePropertyChangeMode:ON_CHANGE|VehiclePropertyChangeMode:CONTINUOUS
* @access VehiclePropertyAccess:READ
* @unit VehicleUnit:METER_PER_SEC

PERF_VEHICLE_SPEED = (
0x0207
| VehiclePropertyGroup:SYSTEM
| VehiclePropertyType:FLOAT

| VehicleArea:GLOBAL),

0x11600207

1 -> SYSTEM = 0x10000000,

1 -> GLOBAL = 0x01000000,

60 -> FLOAT = 0x00600000,

207 -> Alternative numaber

Hi vinothkumars‌,

Thank you for sharing it.

How do we test the vehicle property added?

Any idea of running vehicle hal test found here

<sources>packages/services/Car/tests/vehiclehal_test

or

running emulator in 

<sources>/hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/tests

Regards,

Ramesh

We have kitchensink Application and this is the command used for launch the kitchensink application,

Path: packages/services/Car/tests/EmbeddedKitchenSinkApp

commands,

   am start -n com.google.android.car.kitchensink/com.google.android.car.kitchensink.KitchenSinkActivity

Note: Check Android User Guide for build with M4 as well without M4

Those values are property ID.

Android APP - > Android FW ->  VHAL- > Kernel -> M4, all using the same ID.

Hi yifei.ren@hirain.com‌ ,

Could you tell me, how vehicle data flow from M4 to CAN Bus ?

And also I got error, When I send the following command,

echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/vehicle-dummy/hvac_on

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000171

After Kernel crashed and reboot.

Thanks,
