CAN bus emulation with FreeRTOS and Qt Andrei Mukamolau, Dmitriy
Stupak
Contents 1. Why 2. Prerequisites 3. FreeRTOS app 4. Qt
app 5. Demo
Who we are • Automotive software development company • Develop
and design apps • HMI • Android Automotive • Connected cars
Problem • App testing requires real data from the vehicle
• It can be only obtained from the vehicle • We don’t often have needed vehicle available • Testing becomes expensive
Solution • Cheap CAN bus stand for development • Close
to real life technologies • Test apps without vehicle
Hardware used in cars • Sensors • ECUs • Instrument
cluster • Infotainment • CAN bus
CAN bus • Controlled Area Network • 2-way short range
communication • Used in automotive and industrial apps • Simple at first glance • Fast • Robust
Software used in cars • Embedded soft for sensors •
RTOS for ECUs • Embedded Linux for infotainment and instrument cluster • Android Automotive for infotainment
Software used in cars • Embedded soft for sensors •
RTOS for ECUs • Embedded Linux for infotainment and instrument cluster • Android Automotive for infotainment
RTOS • Real Time Operating System • Scheduler runs tasks
for a fixed amount of time • May not have all the features of standard OSes • Critical for safety-related systems
RTOSes • QNX • VxWorks • FreeRTOS
Software used in cars • Embedded soft for sensors •
RTOS for ECUs • Embedded Linux for infotainment and instrument cluster • Android Automotive for infotainment
Embedded Linux • Regular Linux kernel, tuned for specific hardware
• UI can be done in any way • Most popular is Qt
Tech stack • Arduino Uno with FreeRTOS app • Raspberry
Pi with Qt app
FreeRTOS app
Hardware • Arduino Uno • CAN bus shield • Buttons
• Wires • 10 kOhm resistor
Software • PlatformIO • C++ (Arduino) • FreeRTOS
Advantages • Arduino is cheap • Highly configurable • Can
be extended and ported easily • FreeRTOS is flexible enough • Can be used backwards
Problems • Arduino Uno is not so powerful • FreeRTOS
eats up memory if you’re not careful • Jitter
Qt app
What’s Qt • Cross-platform framework • Written in C++ •
Signals and slots • Double licensing • Its own IDE - Qt Creator
Technologies/Tools
Qt Creator
Qt Creator - design editor
Connect can or vcan • Guide • Connect physical CAN
HAT • Install the necessary modules • Set up it with commands • Install can-utils • Turn on the interface • Send frames with can-utils The same for vcan but without physical part
Cross-platform application Windows 10 Raspberry OS macOS
Hiccups • C++ errors are obscure • CAN loopback didn’t
work • Qt libs on Raspberry are not available by default • Qt versions mismatch Win/Mac Qt 6.4.3 Raspberry OS 5.15.5
Demo app workflow • Click on the button on Arduino
• Build CAN signal and send to Raspberry Pi via CAN wires • Receive CAN frame and process it • Visualize it in Qt application
Demo
Q&A
Thanks!
