Read a dbc file directly

[fra_rio]

Hello,

is there the possibility to read a dbc-file directly with a block from NXP's Model-Based-Design-Toolbox (Without any additional toolboxes from MathWorks)?

I use the NXP S32K144 EVB.

Thanks,

Frank

Hi fra_rio‌

NXP's Model-Based Design Toolbox allows you to read any raw data that is transmitted via CAN/CAN-FD to a particular node. If you wish to convert the data to a human readable format you can use any standard Simulink library block (no additional toolbox required) or if you have the C-source code that performs such conversion you can call it directly in Simulink alongside the NXP MBDT.

Here is a good resource that explains the conversion mechanism if you wish to implement it.

Hope it helps!

Daniel

Do I understand it right, that it is not possible to read a dbc-file directly without any other toolboxes or converters?

Correct!
