CanKit.Adapter.Virtual

Virtual in-process CAN adapter for CanKit. Useful for development, testing, and simulation without real hardware.

Install

# Core + Virtual adapter
dotnet add package CanKit.Core
dotnet add package CanKit.Adapter.Virtual

Endpoint Format

  • virtual://sessionId/channelId
    • sessionId: arbitrary string; channels in the same session share a virtual bus hub.
    • channelId: integer (>= 0).

Quick Start

using CanKit.Core;
using CanKit.Core.Definitions;

// Two channels in the same session can talk to each other
using var a = CanBus.Open("virtual://alpha/0", cfg => cfg.Baud(500_000));
using var b = CanBus.Open("virtual://alpha/1", cfg => cfg.Baud(500_000));

var tx = CanFrame.Classic(0x111, new byte[] { 0x01, 0x02 });
a.Transmit(tx);

foreach (var rx in b.Receive(1, 100))
{
    var f = rx.CanFrame;
    Console.WriteLine($"b got 0x{f.ID:X} dlc={f.Dlc}");
}

Discover Endpoints

using CanKit.Core.Endpoints;

foreach (var ep in BusEndpointEntry.Enumerate("virtual"))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{ep.Title}: {ep.Endpoint}");
}

Notes

  • Timing and error frames are simulated; use real adapters for hardware-accurate behavior.

## 0.5.1

### Added

* **Vector device enumeration**: Added helpers to query available Vector devices (filters by AppName `"CANoe"`).

### Changed

* **`SocketCanBus` TX path**: Optimized the send logic to reduce GC allocations and overhead.
* **Adapter registration**: Refactored registration patterns and entry points to leave room for upcoming Transport/Protocol layers (ISO-TP work in progress).

### Fixed

* **`VectorBus` `accessMask`**: Corrected the way the `accessMask` is obtained.

### Performance

* **Lower allocations on transmit** via the optimized `SocketCanBus` send path.

### Breaking changes

* None.
