doipclient is a pure Python 3 Diagnostic over IP (DoIP) client which can be used
for communicating with modern ECU's over automotive ethernet. It implements the
majority of ISO-13400 (2019) from the perspective of a short-lived synchronous
client. The primary use case is to serve as a transport layer implementation for
the udsoncan <https://github.com/pylessard/python-udsoncan>_ library. The code
is published under MIT license on GitHub (jacobschaer/python-doipclient).

Documentation

The documentation is available here : https://python-doipclient.readthedocs.io/

Requirements

  • Python 3.6+

Installation

using pip::

pip install doipclient

Running Tests from source

using pytest::

pip install pytest pytest-mock
pytest

Example

Updated version of udsoncan's example using python_doip instead of IsoTPSocketConnection

.. code-block:: python

import SomeLib.SomeCar.SomeModel as MyCar

import udsoncan
from doipclient import DoIPClient
from doipclient.connectors import DoIPClientUDSConnector
from udsoncan.client import Client
from udsoncan.exceptions import *
from udsoncan.services import *

udsoncan.setup_logging()

ecu_ip = '127.0.0.1'
ecu_logical_address = 0x00E0
doip_client = DoIPClient(ecu_ip, ecu_logical_address)
conn = DoIPClientUDSConnector(doip_client)
with Client(conn, request_timeout=2, config=MyCar.config) as client:
try:
client.change_session(DiagnosticSessionControl.Session.extendedDiagnosticSession) # integer with value of 3
client.unlock_security_access(MyCar.debug_level) # Fictive security level. Integer coming from fictive lib, let's say its value is 5
client.write_data_by_identifier(udsoncan.DataIdentifier.VIN, 'ABC123456789') # Standard ID for VIN is 0xF190. Codec is set in the client configuration
print('Vehicle Identification Number successfully changed.')
client.ecu_reset(ECUReset.ResetType.hardReset) # HardReset = 0x01
except NegativeResponseException as e:
print('Server refused our request for service %s with code "%s" (0x%02x)' % (e.response.service.get_name(), e.response.code_name, e.response.code))
except (InvalidResponseException, UnexpectedResponseException) as e:
print('Server sent an invalid payload : %s' % e.response.original_payload)

  # Because we reset our UDS server, we must also reconnect/reactivate the DoIP socket
  # Alternatively, we could have used the auto_reconnect_tcp flag on the DoIPClient
  # Note: ECU's do not restart instantly, so you may need a sleep() before moving on
  doip_client.reconnect()
  client.tester_present()

Cleanup the DoIP Socket when we're done. Alternatively, we could have used the

close_connection flag on conn so that the udsoncan client would clean it up

doip_client.close()

python-uds Support

The python-uds <https://github.com/richClubb/python-uds>_ can also be used
but requires a fork until the owner merges this PR
Doip #63 <https://github.com/richClubb/python-uds/pull/63>_. For now, to use
the port:

using pip::

git clone https://github.com/jacobschaer/python-uds
git checkout doip
cd python-uds
pip install .

Example:

.. code-block:: python

from uds import Uds

ecu = Uds(transportProtocol="DoIP", ecu_ip="192.168.1.1", ecu_logical_address=1)
try:
response = ecu.send([0x3E, 0x00])
print(response) # This should be [0x7E, 0x00]
except:
print("Send did not complete")
