I was thinking of making use of Boost Asio to read data from a Socket CAN. There's nothing fancy going on in linux/can.h , and the device should behave like the loopback interface, and be used with a raw socket.
Looking at the basic_raw_socket
interface it seems that I can make use of
basic_raw_socket::assign to assign the native socket created with
socket( PF_CAN, SOCK_RAW, CAN_RAW );
This is what I have so far
namespace can {
class CanSocket {
public:
typedef boost::asio::ip::basic_endpoint<CanSocket> endpoint;
typedef boost::asio::ip::basic_resolver_query<CanSocket> resolver_query;
typedef boost::asio::ip::basic_resolver_iterator<CanSocket> resolver_iterator;
typedef boost::asio::basic_raw_socket<CanSocket> socket;
typedef boost::asio::ip::basic_resolver<CanSocket> resolver;
CanSocket()
: _protocol( CAN_RAW )
, _family( PF_CAN )
{
}
static CanSocket v4()
{
return CanSocket();
}
static CanSocket v6();
int type() const;
int protocol() const;
int family() const;
friend bool operator==(const CanSocket& p1, const CanSocket& p2)
{
return p1._protocol != p2._protocol || p1._family != p2._family;
}
friend bool operator!=(const CanSocket& p1, const CanSocket& p2)
{
return p1._protocol == p2._protocol || p1._family == p2._family;
}
private:
int _protocol;
int _family;
};
}
And this is how I use it in my application
boost::asio::io_service ioserv;
CanSocket::socket s( ioserv );
int sock = socket( PF_CAN, SOCK_RAW, CAN_RAW );
s.assign(CanSocket::v4(), sock);
struct ifreq ifr;
strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "vcan0");
ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr); /* ifr.ifr_ifindex gets filled
* with that device's index */
/* Select that CAN interface, and bind the socket to it. */
/* this should be the endpoint */
struct sockaddr_can addr;
addr.can_family = AF_CAN;
addr.can_ifindex = ifr.ifr_ifindex;
/* s.bind (....) */
bind( sock, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr) );
What I don't quite get is how do I bind s
to the local endpoint? There are no IPs or ports involved.
Is there anything else that should be implemented besides the endpoint to get it going?
Here is working example, assembled with help of this thread
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/can.h>
#include <linux/can/raw.h>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
void data_send(void) {
std::cout << "omg sent" << std::endl;
}
void data_rec(struct can_frame &rec_frame,
boost::asio::posix::basic_stream_descriptor<> &stream) {
std::cout << std::hex << rec_frame.can_id << " ";
for (int i = 0; i < rec_frame.can_dlc; i++) {
std::cout << std::hex << int(rec_frame.data[i]) << " ";
}
std::cout << std::dec << std::endl;
stream.async_read_some(
boost::asio::buffer(&rec_frame, sizeof(rec_frame)),
boost::bind(data_rec, boost::ref(rec_frame), boost::ref(stream)));
}
int main(void) {
struct sockaddr_can addr;
struct can_frame frame;
struct can_frame rec_frame;
struct ifreq ifr;
int natsock = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_RAW, CAN_RAW);
strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "vcan0");
ioctl(natsock, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr);
addr.can_family = AF_CAN;
addr.can_ifindex = ifr.ifr_ifindex;
if (bind(natsock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) {
perror("Error in socket bind");
return -2;
}
frame.can_id = 0x123;
frame.can_dlc = 2;
frame.data[0] = 0x11;
frame.data[1] = 0x23;
boost::asio::io_service ios;
boost::asio::posix::basic_stream_descriptor<> stream(ios);
stream.assign(natsock);
stream.async_write_some(boost::asio::buffer(&frame, sizeof(frame)),
boost::bind(data_send));
stream.async_read_some(
boost::asio::buffer(&rec_frame, sizeof(rec_frame)),
boost::bind(data_rec, boost::ref(rec_frame), boost::ref(stream)));
ios.run();
}
The solution is to use posix::stream_descriptor
.
Just open the native socket, bind and then use posix::basic_stream_descriptor::assign
.
