Python CAN tools:

Those CAN tools are developed based on Linux SocketCAN and Python python-can package.

First step: Install python-can package:

sudo pip install python-can

In order to be able to test using for Example a virtual CAN interface:

1- sudo modprobe vcan

2- sudo ip link add vcan0 type vcan

3- sudo ip link set vcan0 up

• can_dump.py: dump all CAN frames transiting on given interface

$ python can_dump.py vcan0
