OpenXC Vehicle Interface Firmware

The OpenXC vehicle interface (VI) firmware runs on a microcontroller connected to one or more CAN buses. It receives either all CAN messages or a filtered subset, performs any unit conversion or factoring required and outputs a generic version to a USB interface.

For more documentation, see the vehicle interface section on the OpenXC website or the vehicle interface documentation.

Installation

For the full build instructions, see the documentation.

Releasing

• Make sure you release the Python library first if there are any updates
• Update script/bootstrap/ci-requirements.txt to use released version at PyPI (i.e. the requirement should be openxc==<latestversion>)
• Make sure you release the openxc-message-format library first if there are any updates
• Update the src/libs/openxc-message-format with git submodule update --remote
• Checkout next branch and make edits.
• Bump the version using semantic versioning in - CHANGELOG.mkd - README.rst - src/config.cpp - docs/index.rst - docs/conf.py
• Checkout master, merge in next
• Run 'fab release', say yes to the tag and use the format v0.9.1
  • This will run the test suite, tag, and push to GitHub
• Checkout the next branch, and edit the same files to change the version to the next development release (one patch release up with the -dev suffix, e.g. v0.9.2-dev
• Go to https://github.com/openxc/vi-firmware/releases and promote the tag you just created to a new release - copy and paste the changelog into the description.
  • Attach the openxc-vi-firmware-*.zip from the releases directory to the release on GitHub
