Check out this blog post for a high-level overview of porting a car.

Useful car porting utilities

Testing car ports in your car is very time-consuming. Check out these utilities to do basic checks on your work before running it in your car.

Cabana

View your car's CAN signals through DBC files, which openpilot uses to parse and create messages that talk to the car.

Example:

> tools/cabana/cabana '1bbe6bf2d62f58a8|2022-07-14--17-11-43'

tools/car_porting/auto_fingerprint.py

Given a route and platform, automatically inserts FW fingerprints from the platform into the correct place in fingerprints.py

Example:

> python tools/car_porting/auto_fingerprint.py '1bbe6bf2d62f58a8|2022-07-14--17-11-43' 'OUTBACK'
Attempting to add fw version for:  OUTBACK

selfdrive/car/tests/test_car_interfaces.py

Finds common bugs for car interfaces, without even requiring a route.

Example: Typo in signal name

> pytest selfdrive/car/tests/test_car_interfaces.py -k subaru  # replace with the brand you are working on

=====================================================================
FAILED selfdrive/car/tests/test_car_interfaces.py::TestCarInterfaces::test_car_interfaces_165_SUBARU_LEGACY_7TH_GEN - KeyError: 'CruiseControlOOPS'

tools/car_porting/test_car_model.py

Given a route, runs most of the car interface to check for common errors like missing signals, blocked panda messages, and safety mismatches.

Example: panda safety mismatch for gasPressed

> python tools/car_porting/test_car_model.py '4822a427b188122a|2023-08-14--16-22-21'

=====================================================================
FAIL: test_panda_safety_carstate (__main__.CarModelTestCase.test_panda_safety_carstate)
Assert that panda safety matches openpilot's carState

tools/car_porting/examples/subaru_steer_temp_fault.ipynb

An example of searching through a database of segments for a specific condition, and plotting the results.

a plot of the steer_warning vs steering angle, where we can see it is clearly caused by a large steering angle change

tools/car_porting/examples/subaru_long_accel.ipynb

An example of plotting the response of an actuator when it is active.

a plot of the brake_pressure vs acceleration, where we can see it is a fairly linear response.

tools/car_porting/examples/ford_vin_fingerprint.ipynb

In this example, we use the public comma car segments database to check if vin fingerprinting is feasible for ford.
