python-linbus abstracts LIN (Local Interconnect Network) data link layers through a unified interface, inspired by python-can's approach. This high-level API simplifies LIN master/slave development by handling protocol complexities, enabling rapid integration of LIN devices for automotive, industrial automation, and embedded systems applications.
Core Standards Implementation:
- ISO 17987-4:2016 - Electrical physical layer (EPL) specification 12 V
- ISO 17987-3:2016 - Protocol specification
- Extensible Adapter Architecture: Support various LIN hardware interfaces including:
- Vector LIN interfaces (e.g., VN1610/VN1611)
- PCAN-LIN interfaces
- Custom hardware via plugin system
- Hardware Abstraction Layer: Unified API for LIN frame transmission/reception across different devices
-
Master Node Implementation:
- LIN frame scheduling with configurable timing
- Schedule table management
- Diagnostic frame handling (LIN 2.0+)
-
Slave Node Simulation:
- Frame response configuration
- Event-driven frame handling
- Error injection capabilities
-
LDF Parser:
- Full support for LIN Description File (LDF) v2.1+ specifications
NOTE: Current development primarily focuses on Vector series devices for implementation and testing.
TBD
