QEMU CAN bus emulation support
==============================
The CAN bus emulation provides mechanism to connect multiple
emulated CAN controller chips together by one or multiple CAN busses
(the controller device "canbus" parameter). The individual busses
can be connected to host system CAN API (at this time only Linux
SocketCAN is supported).
The concept of busses is generic and different CAN controllers
can be implemented for it but at this time only SJA1000 chip
controller is implemented.
The PCI addon card hardware has been selected as the first CAN
interface to implement because such device can be easily connected
to systems with different CPU architectures (x86, PowerPC, ARM, etc.).
The project has been initially started in frame of RTEMS GSoC 2013
slot by Jin Yang under our mentoring The initial idea was to provide generic
CAN subsystem for RTEMS. But lack of common environment for code and RTEMS
testing lead to goal change to provide environment which provides complete
emulated environment for testing and RTEMS GSoC slot has been donated
to work on CAN hardware emulation on QEMU.
Examples how to use CAN emulation
=================================
When QEMU with CAN PCI support is compiled then one of the next
CAN boards can be selected
(1) CAN bus Kvaser PCI CAN-S (single SJA1000 channel) boad. QEMU startup options
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0
Add "can-host-socketcan" object to connect device to host system CAN bus
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0
(2) CAN bus PCM-3680I PCI (dual SJA1000 channel) emulation
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
-device pcm3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0,canbus1=canbus0
another example:
-object can-bus,id=canbus0
-object can-bus,id=canbus1
-device pcm3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0,canbus1=canbus1
(3) CAN bus MIOe-3680 PCI (dual SJA1000 channel) emulation
-device mioe3680_pci,canbus0=canbus0
The ''kvaser_pci'' board/device model is compatible with and has been tested with
''kvaser_pci'' driver included in mainline Linux kernel.
The tested setup was Linux 4.9 kernel on the host and guest side.
Example for qemu-system-x86_64:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-4-amd64 \
-initrd ramdisk.cpio \
-virtfs local,path=shareddir,security_model=none,mount_tag=shareddir \
-object can-bus,id=canbus0 \
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0 \
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0 \
-nographic -append "console=ttyS0"
Example for qemu-system-arm:
qemu-system-arm -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb \
-kernel kernel-qemu-arm1176-versatilepb \
-hda rpi-wheezy-overlay \
-append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda2 ro init=/sbin/init-overlay" \
-nographic \
-virtfs local,path=shareddir,security_model=none,mount_tag=shareddir \
-object can-bus,id=canbus0 \
-object can-host-socketcan,id=canhost0,if=can0,canbus=canbus0 \
-device kvaser_pci,canbus=canbus0,host=can0 \
The CAN interface of the host system has to be configured for proper
bitrate and set up. Configuration is not propagated from emulated
devices through bus to the physical host device. Example configuration
for 1 Mbit/s
ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
ip link set can0 up
Virtual (host local only) can interface can be used on the host
side instead of physical interface
ip link add dev can0 type vcan
The CAN interface on the host side can be used to analyze CAN
traffic with "candump" command which is included in "can-utils".
candump can0
