Can we make a flag to make it support parsing PDX file even validation fail?

odxtools

odxtools is a set of utilities for working with diagnostic descriptions of automotive electronic control units using the data model and the associated technologies of the ODX standard.

ODX stands for "Open Diagnostic data eXchange" and is primarily an XML based file format to describe the diagnostic capabilities of the electronic control units (ECUs) of complex distributed technical systems (usually cars and trucks). ODX is an open standard maintained by ASAM e.V. and is also standardized internationally by ISO-22901.

Usually, ODX is used to complement the UDS automotive diagnostics standard -- which itself can be considered to be an extension of OBD-II -- to provide a machine-processable description of the vendor-specific diagnostics functionality of a vehicle's ECUs. That said, the functionality which is described by ODX files neither needs to be a super- nor a subset of OBD-II/UDS, e.g., ODX can be used to describe diagnostic functionality that uses fundamentally different wire formats and conventions than the ones mandated by OBD-II/UDS. (In practice, the ODX-described functionality usually adheres to these standards, though.)

The functionality provided by odxtools encompasses parsing and internalizing ODX diagnostic database files as well as de- and encoding the data of diagnostic requests and their responses send to/received from ECUs in an pythonic manner.

Use Cases

Here are some of the intended use cases of odxtools:

Prototype development: Interacting with the diagnostic services of electronic control units directly from python (requires taping into the car's relevant CAN or ethernet bus)
End-of-production calibration/quality control: Initial set up and running a self diagnosis of newly produced cars to ensure that everything works as specified
After-sales: Implementing servicing functionality for workshops, i.e., defining test schedules based on the legally mandated functionality of ISO 15031-6 (OBD II) as well as manufacturer-specific routines
Prototype development (II): Analyzing and debugging diagnostic sessions done using third-party software
Prototype development (III): Implementing bridges to higher-level protocols such as HTTP
Development for mass production: Accelerating the implementation of diagnostic servicesfor low-cost ECUs by using odxtools-based code generators for the diagnostic glue code on system-level languages like C++ or rust

Please be aware that some of the use cases listed above are currently rather aspirational.

Installation

The easiest way of installing odxtools on your system is via pip:

python3 -m pip install odxtools

If you want to develop odxtools itself, you need to install it from source using git. The first step is to clone the repository:

cd $BASE_DIR
git clone https://github.com/mercedes-benz/odxtools

After this, make sure that all python dependencies are installed:

cd $BASE_DIR/odxtools
python3 -m pip install -e .

Next, you can optionally build a package and install it on the system:

cd $BASE_DIR/odxtools
python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m build
sudo python3 -m pip install dist/odxtools-*.whl

Finally, update the PYTHONPATH environment variable and the newly cloned module is ready to be used:

export PYTHONPATH="$BASE_DIR/odxtools:$PYTHONPATH"

Now, you can check whether the installation worked:

python3 -m odxtools list -a "$YOUR_PDX_FILE"

Usage Examples

Python snippets

Load an ODX database from file somersault.pdx:

import odxtools

db = odxtools.load_pdx_file("somersault.pdx")

List the names of all available services of the somersault_lazy ECU:

# [...]

ecu = db.ecus.somersault_lazy
print(f"Available services for {ecu.short_name}: {ecu.services}")

Determine the CAN IDs which the somersault_lazy ECU uses to send and receive diagnostic messages:

# [...]

print(f"ECU {ecu.short_name} listens for requests on CAN ID 0x{ecu.get_receive_id():x}")
print(f"ECU {ecu.short_name} transmits responses on CAN ID 0x{ecu.get_send_id():x}")

Encode a session_start request to the somersault_lazy ECU:

# [...]

raw_request_data = ecu.services.session_start()

print(f"Message for session start request of ECU {ecu.short_name}: {raw_request_data}")
# -> bytearray(b'\x10\x00')

Encode the positive response to the start_session request:

# [...]

raw_request_data = ecu.services.session_start()
raw_response_data = ecu.services.session_start.positive_responses[0].encode(coded_request=raw_request_data)

print(f"Positive response to session_start() of ECU {ecu.short_name}: {raw_response_data}")
# -> bytearray(b'P')

Decode a request:

# [...]

raw_data = b"\x10\x00"
decoded_message = ecu.decode(raw_data)
print(f"decoded message: {decoded_message}")
# -> decoded message: [start_session()]

Decode a response to a request:

# [...]

raw_request_data = b"\x10\x00"
raw_response_data = b'P'
decoded_response = ecu.decode_response(raw_response_data, raw_request_data)
print(f"decoded response: {decoded_response}")
# -> decoded response: [session()]

Using the non-strict mode

By default, odxtools raises exceptions if it suspects that it cannot fulfill a requested operation correctly. For example, if the dataset it is instructed to load is detected to be not conformant with the ODX specification, or if completing the operation requires missing features of odxtools. To be able to deal with such cases, odxtools provides a "non-strict" mode where such issues are ignored, but where the results are undefined. The following snippet shows how to instruct odxtools to load a non-conforming file in non-strict mode, and after this is done, enables the safety checks again:

import odxtools

[...]

odxtools.exceptions.strict_mode = False
botched_db = odxtools.load_file("my_non-conforming_database.pdx")
odxtools.exceptions.strict_mode = True

[...]

Interactive Usage

Python REPL

python's interactive read-reval-print-loop (REPL) supports tab-completion on most plattforms, i.e., in this case, all data can be conveniently interactivly discovered and this makes odxtools a very convenient tool to explore the capabilities of a given ECU.

A notable exception is the Microsoft Windows platform: Most python distribtions for Windows do not enable tab-completion by default in their REPL. For more convenience in such a scenario, we recommend using ptpython. ptpython can be installed like any other python package, i.e., via python3 -m pip install ptpython. Then, the REPL ought to be started using

c:\odxtest>python3 "C:\Python39\Lib\site-packages\ptpython\entry_points\run_ptpython.py"

Alternatively, pyreadline can be used after installing it via python3 -m pip install pyreadline. With this, basic tab-completion for python under Windows in Interactive Mode should work.

Command line usage

Based the python module, odxtools also provides a set of command line utilities for quick interactive explorations. Amongst others, these utilities allow the inspection ODX/PDX files, snooping on diagnostic sessions, etc. If odxtools is installed on a system-wide basis, these commands can be invoked using odxtools SUBCOMMAND [PARAMS], if the repository has been manually cloned via git and odxtools has not been installed on a system-wide basis, the way to invoke these utilities is via python3 -m odxtools SUBCOMMAND [PARAMS].

Generic parameters

Available generic parameters and a list of subcommands can be obtained using odxtools --help:

  -po, --plumbing-output
                        Print full objects instead of selected and formatted attributes

The options --variants and --services can be used to specify which services should be printed.
If the --params option is specified, the message layout and information about the service parameters (reuest as well as responses) are printed for all specified variants/services. If the --global-negative-responses option is specified, all global negative responses are printed for all specified variants. If the --dops option is specified, a list of all data object properties (their names) is printed for all specified variants/services. With the parameter --all all data of the file that is recognized by odxtools is printed. The default output does not display all information of the specified objects but a selection. To see all object information choose the parameter --plumbing-output.

The `snoop` subcommand

The snoop subcommand can be used to decode a trace of a or a currently running diagnostic session.

$ odxtools snoop -h
usage: odxtools snoop [-h] [--active] [--channel CHANNEL] [--rx RX] [--tx TX] [--variant VARIANT]
                      [--protocol PROTOCOL]
                      PDX_FILE

Live decoding of a diagnostic session.

positional arguments:
  PDX_FILE              path to the .pdx file

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --active, -a          Active mode, sends flow control messages to receive ISO-TP telegrams successfully
  --channel CHANNEL, -c CHANNEL
                        CAN interface name to be used (required in active mode)
  --rx RX, -r RX        CAN ID in which the ECU listens for diagnostic messages
  --tx TX, -t TX        CAN ID in which the ECU sends replys to diagnostic messages  (required in active mode)
  --variant VARIANT, -v VARIANT
                        Name of the ECU variant which the decode process ought to be based on
  --protocol PROTOCOL, -p PROTOCOL
                        Name of the protocol used for decoding

Example:

# create a socketcan `vcan0` interface
sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
sudo ip link set vcan0 up

# start the snooping on vcan0
odxtools snoop -c vcan0 --variant "somersault_lazy" $BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersault.pdx

# on a different terminal, run the diagnostic session
$BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersaultlazy.py -c vcan0

The snoop command will then output the following:

$ odxtools snoop -c vcan0 --variant "somersault_lazy" $BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersault.pdx
Decoding messages on channel vcan0

The `decode` subcommand

The decode subcommand can be used to decode hex-data to a service, and its associated parameters.

$ odxtools decode -h
usage: odxtools decode [-h] [-v VARIANT] -d DATA [-D] PDX_FILE

Decode request by hex-data

Examples:
  For displaying the service associated with the request 10 01 & decoding it:
    odxtools decode ./path/to/database.pdx -D -d '10 01'
  For displaying the service associated with the request 10 01, without decoding it:
    odxtools decode ./path/to/database.pdx -d '10 01'
  For more information use:
    odxtools decode -h

positional arguments:
  PDX_FILE              Location of the .pdx file

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v VARIANT, --variants VARIANT
                        Specifies which ecu variants should be included.
  -d DATA, --data DATA  Specify data of hex request
  -D, --decode          Decode the given hex data

Example: Decode diagnostic services with the request 10 00

$ odxtools decode $BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersault.pdx -d '10 00'
Binary data: 10 00
Decoded by service 'session_start' (decoding ECUs: somersault_lazy, somersault_assiduous)

Example: Decode diagnostic services with the request 10 00, and parameters

$ odxtools decode $BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersault.pdx -d '10 00' -D
Binary data: 10 00
Decoded by service 'session_start' (decoding ECUs: somersault_lazy, somersault_assiduous)
Decoded data:
  sid=16 (0x10)
  id=0 (0x0)

The `compare` subcommand

The compare subcommand can be used to compare databases (pdx-files) and diagnostic layers with each other. All diagnostic services as well as its parameters of specified databases and variants are compared with each other and changes are displayed.

database comparison:

new diagnostic layers
deleted diagnostic layers
diagnostic layer comparison

diagnostic layer comparison:

new services
deleted services
renamed services
service parameter comparison

service parameter comparison:

find changes in following properties:

$ odxtools compare -h
usage: odxtools compare [-h] [-v VARIANT [VARIANT ...]] [-db DATABASE [DATABASE ...]] [-nd] [-od] PDX_FILE

Compares two ecu versions or databases with each other. Checks whether diagnostic services and its parameters have changed.

Examples:
  Comparison of two ecu versions:
    odxtools compare ./path/to/database.pdx -v variant1 variant2
  Comparison of two database versions:
    odxtools compare ./path/to/database.pdx -db ./path/to/old-database.pdx
  For more information use:
    odxtools compare -h

positional arguments:
  PDX_FILE              Location of the .pdx file

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v VARIANT [VARIANT ...], --variants VARIANT [VARIANT ...]
                        Compare specified ecu variants to each other.
  -db DATABASE [DATABASE ...], --database DATABASE [DATABASE ...]
                        Compare specified database file(s) to database file of first input argument.
  -nd, --no-details     Don't show all service parameter details
  -od, --object-details
                        Print all object details instead of just the name

Example: Compare the ecu variants somersault_lazy and somersault_assiduous

$ odxtools compare $BASE_DIR/odxtools/examples/somersault.pdx -v somersault_lazy somersault_assiduous
