parse_a2l
Purpose:
-
Parse an A2L file to retrieve required data and generate a .DBC file for CAN DBC and a daq.txt file for CCP DAQ protocol.
Enter:
-
parse_a2l <a2l=a2l_file> <var=variable_file> [id=CAN_ID] [daq=daq.txt] [dbc=can.dbc_file] [-dd]
Where:
-
a2l Specify the path and name of the a2l file to parse. var Specify the path and name of the file that contains the list of variables. id Optional. Specify the HEX value of the CAN_ID_FIXED parameter. The default is: 7D8 daq Optional. Specify the path and name of the daq.txt file to write. The default is /specs/parse_daq.txt. dbc Optional. Specify the path and name of the can.dbc file to write. The default is /specs/parse_can.dbc. -dd Optional. Specify -dd to enable debug mode.
Example:
-
parse_a2l a2l=/specs/MT88_PSI_Bi_Fuel_17p11p10NS7.a2l var=/specs/a2l.lst id=7D8 daq=/tmp/daq.txt
The preceding reads the /specs/a2l.lst file and keeps track of all of desired variables. Then it reads the /specs/MT88_PSI_Bi_Fuel_17p11p10NS7.a2l file and parses all of the information pertaining to the variable list from the variable file. Once it extracts all of that data, it writes 2 files, the /tmp/daq.txt file and the /specs/parse_can.dbc files for CanDbc to use ccp daq protocol.
