QEMU CAN bus emulation support
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
The CAN bus emulation provides mechanism to connect multiple
|
|
emulated CAN controller chips together by one or multiple CAN busses
|
|
(the controller device "canbus" parameter). The individual busses
|
|
can be connected to host system CAN API (at this time only Linux
|
|
SocketCAN is supported).
|
|
|
|
The concept of busses is generic and different CAN controllers
|
|
can be implemented.
|
|
|
|
The initial submission implemented SJA1000 controller which
|
|
is common and well supported by by drivers for the most operating
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
The PCI addon card hardware has been selected as the first CAN
|
|
interface to implement because such device can be easily connected
|
|
to systems with different CPU architectures (x86, PowerPC, Arm, etc.).
|
|
|
|
In 2020, CTU CAN FD controller model has been added as part
|
|
of the bachelor thesis of Jan Charvat. This controller is complete
|
|
open-source/design/hardware solution. The core designer
|
|
of the project is Ondrej Ille, the financial support has been
|
|
provided by CTU, and more companies including Volkswagen subsidiaries.
|
|
|
|
The project has been initially started in frame of RTEMS GSoC 2013
|
|
slot by Jin Yang under our mentoring The initial idea was to provide generic
|
|
CAN subsystem for RTEMS. But lack of common environment for code and RTEMS
|
|
testing lead to goal change to provide environment which provides complete
|
|
emulated environment for testing and RTEMS GSoC slot has been donated
|
|
to work on CAN hardware emulation on QEMU.
|
|
|
|
Examples how to use CAN emulation for SJA1000 based boards
|
|
==========================================================
|
|
|
|
When QEMU with CAN PCI support is compiled then one of the next
|
|
CAN boards can be selected
|
|
|
|
(1) CAN bus Kvaser PCI CAN-S (single SJA1000 channel) boad. QEMU startup options
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
|
|
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0
|
|
Add "can-host-socketcan" object to connect device to host system CAN bus
|
|
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0
|
|
|
|
(2) CAN bus PCM-3680I PCI (dual SJA1000 channel) emulation
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
|
|
-device pcm3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0,canbus1=canbus0
|
|
|
|
another example:
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus1
|
|
-device pcm3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0,canbus1=canbus1
|
|
|
|
(3) CAN bus MIOe-3680 PCI (dual SJA1000 channel) emulation
|
|
-device mioe3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ''kvaser_pci'' board/device model is compatible with and has been tested with
|
|
''kvaser_pci'' driver included in mainline Linux kernel.
|
|
The tested setup was Linux 4.9 kernel on the host and guest side.
|
|
Example for qemu-system-x86_64:
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-4-amd64 \
|
|
-initrd ramdisk.cpio \
|
|
-virtfs local,path=shareddir,security_model=none,mount_tag=shareddir \
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0 \
|
|
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0 \
|
|
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0 \
|
|
-nographic -append "console=ttyS0"
|
|
|
|
Example for qemu-system-arm:
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-arm -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb \
|
|
-kernel kernel-qemu-arm1176-versatilepb \
|
|
-hda rpi-wheezy-overlay \
|
|
-append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda2 ro init=/sbin/init-overlay" \
|
|
-nographic \
|
|
-virtfs local,path=shareddir,security_model=none,mount_tag=shareddir \
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0 \
|
|
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0 \
|
|
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0,host=can0 \
|
|
|
|
The CAN interface of the host system has to be configured for proper
|
|
bitrate and set up. Configuration is not propagated from emulated
|
|
devices through bus to the physical host device. Example configuration
|
|
for 1 Mbit/s
|
|
|
|
ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
|
|
ip link set can0 up
|
|
|
|
Virtual (host local only) can interface can be used on the host
|
|
side instead of physical interface
|
|
|
|
ip link add dev can0 type vcan
|
|
|
|
The CAN interface on the host side can be used to analyze CAN
|
|
traffic with "candump" command which is included in "can-utils".
|
|
|
|
candump can0
|
|
|
|
CTU CAN FD support examples
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
This open-source core provides CAN FD support. CAN FD drames are
|
|
delivered even to the host systems when SocketCAN interface is found
|
|
CAN FD capable.
|
|
|
|
The PCIe board emulation is provided for now (the device identifier is
|
|
ctucan_pci). The default build defines two CTU CAN FD cores
|
|
on the board.
|
|
|
|
Example how to connect the canbus0-bus (virtual wire) to the host
|
|
Linux system (SocketCAN used) and to both CTU CAN FD cores emulated
|
|
on the corresponding PCI card expects that host system CAN bus
|
|
is setup according to the previous SJA1000 section.
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.52+ \
|
|
-initrd ramdisk.cpio \
|
|
-virtfs local,path=shareddir,security_model=none,mount_tag=shareddir \
|
|
-vga cirrus \
|
|
-append "console=ttyS0" \
|
|
-object can-bus,id=canbus0-bus \
|
|
-object can-host-socketcan,if=can0,canbus=canbus0-bus,id=canbus0-socketcan \
|
|
-device ctucan_pci,canbus0=canbus0-bus,canbus1=canbus0-bus \
|
|
-nographic
|
|
|
|
Setup of CTU CAN FD controller in a guest Linux system
|
|
|
|
insmod ctucanfd.ko || modprobe ctucanfd
|
|
insmod ctucanfd_pci.ko || modprobe ctucanfd_pci
|
|
|
|
for ifc in /sys/class/net/can* ; do
|
|
if [ -e $ifc/device/vendor ] ; then
|
|
if ! grep -q 0x1760 $ifc/device/vendor ; then
|
|
continue;
|
|
fi
|
|
else
|
|
continue;
|
|
fi
|
|
if [ -e $ifc/device/device ] ; then
|
|
if ! grep -q 0xff00 $ifc/device/device ; then
|
|
continue;
|
|
fi
|
|
else
|
|
continue;
|
|
fi
|
|
ifc=$(basename $ifc)
|
|
/bin/ip link set $ifc type can bitrate 1000000 dbitrate 10000000 fd on
|
|
/bin/ip link set $ifc up
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
The test can run for example
|
|
|
|
candump can1
|
|
|
|
in the guest system and next commands in the host system for basic CAN
|
|
|
|
cangen can0
|
|
|
|
for CAN FD without bitrate switch
|
|
|
|
cangen can0 -f
|
|
|
|
and with bitrate switch
|
|
|
|
cangen can0 -b
|
|
|
|
The test can be run viceversa, generate messages in the guest system and capture them
|
|
in the host one and much more combinations.
