How to realize automotive electronic control communication through PHP and CAN protocol

Introduction:
With the continuous development of automotive electronic control technology, CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol has become the most popular in the field of automotive electronic control. One of the commonly used communication protocols. As a programming language widely used in Web development, how to combine PHP with the CAN protocol to achieve automotive electronic control communication? This article will introduce the basic principles of automotive electronic control communication using PHP and CAN protocols, and give code examples.

1. Overview of CAN protocol
CAN is a serial communication protocol used to achieve high-speed communication between multiple nodes. It adopts differential signal transmission, distributed control and multi-bus architecture, and has the characteristics of high reliability, high bandwidth and multiple applications. In the field of automotive electronic control, the CAN protocol is usually used for communication between various control units within the vehicle, such as engine control units, body control units, etc.

2. Basic principles of PHP and CAN communication
As a scripting language, PHP itself does not directly support CAN communication. However, we can implement CAN communication with the help of underlying system calls or extension libraries. Commonly used extension libraries include can-utils and SocketCAN. can-utils provides a set of command line tools for monitoring, sending and parsing CAN data; SocketCAN is an interface in the Linux kernel that provides access to the CAN bus.

In PHP, we can call system commands to execute the underlying can-utils command, or perform CAN communication through the SocketCAN interface. The use of these two methods will be introduced below.

1. Calling can-utils command
   In PHP, you can use the system function or exec function to execute system commands. For example, you can monitor CAN bus data by calling the candump command:

   <?php
   $data = system('candump can0', $retval);
   echo $data;
   ?>

   In the above code, the system function executes the "candump can0" command to output the CAN bus data to the $data variable. Data can be displayed on the web page through the echo statement.

2. Using the SocketCAN interface
   To use the SocketCAN interface, you first need to ensure that the Linux kernel already supports the CAN bus, and then load the relevant kernel module. After loading is completed, CAN communication can be performed through the SocketCAN interface. In PHP, you can create a Socket connection through the socket function and send and receive CAN data through the connection.

   <?php
   $socket = socket_create(AF_CAN, SOCK_RAW, CAN_RAW);
   if ($socket === false) {
    die("socket_create failed: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()));
   }
   
   $ifname = 'can0';
   $canId = 0x123;
   $data = "Hello CAN";
   $canFrame = pack('H*', '12345678') . $data; // 添加标准的CAN帧格式头部
   
   if (socket_bind($socket, $ifname) === false) {
    die("socket_bind failed: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)));
   }
   
   if (socket_write($socket, $canFrame, strlen($canFrame)) === false) {
    die("socket_write failed: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($socket)));
   }
   
   socket_close($socket);
   ?>

   In the above code, the socket_create function creates a Socket connection, the socket_bind function binds the connection to the specified CAN interface, the socket_write function sends CAN data, and the socket_close function closes the connection.

3. Summary
Through the combination of PHP and CAN protocol, the function of automotive electronic control communication can be realized. This article introduces the method of calling the can-utils command and using the SocketCAN interface, and gives corresponding code examples. Readers can choose the appropriate method according to actual needs, and modify and extend it based on the sample code.

Please note that CAN communication involves underlying hardware and system configuration, so in actual applications, it is necessary to fully understand the relevant hardware and systems, and perform appropriate configuration and debugging.
