Useful in interacting with trucks that use J1939

Description

TruckDevil is a framework for interacting with and assessing ECUs that use J1939 for communications on the CANBUS.

Requirements

Hardware:

The recommended CAN transciever to use is the Macchina M2 (Under-the-Dash).

However, python-can is used so hardware devices with any of the supported interfaces, such as SocketCAN, could be used: (CAN Interface Modules).

Additionally, an OBD-II to J1939 deutsch 9 pin adapter or splitter could be utilized, available on Amazon.

Software:

Python 3 is required.

Additional software is required to flash the m2_sketch firmware to the M2, if used (see Installation).

Installation

> git clone https://github.com/LittleBlondeDevil/TruckDevil.git

M2 (if used)

• Follow the first 3 steps included in the M2 Arduino IDE Quick Start guide
  • Install the Arduino Desktop IDE
  • Install the Macchina M2 Board Configuration
  • Install drivers
• Download and include due_can and can_common libraries from collin80 into IDE
  • due_can
  • can_common

  Sketch > Include Library > Add .Zip Library...
  

• Upload m2_sketch.ino to the M2
  • Ensure M2 is plugged in over USB and that it's selected as the active board.

  Tools > Board: "[...]" > Arduino Due (Native USB Port)
  

  • Select the serial port in use for the M2 (usually named "Arduino Due").

  Tools > Port
  

  • Open the m2_sketch.ino file and upload it to the M2.

  Sketch > Upload
  

  • Once uploaded, disconnect M2 and plug back in.

Usage

TruckDevil contains various modules for reading, sending, ECU discovery, and fuzzing. Additional modules can be added for more specific tasks.

Getting Started

• Interactively

> python truckdevil.py

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
help  load  print_messages  save  set  settings  unset

(truckdevil.read_messages) ? set

        Provide a setting name and a value to set the setting. For a list of
        available settings and their current and default values see the
        settings command.

        example:
        set read_time 10
        set filter_src_addr 11,249

(truckdevil.read_messages) set num_messages 5
(truckdevil.read_messages) print_messages

• From command line (arguments are passed to module)

> python .\truckdevil.py add_device m2 can0 250000 COM5 run_module read_messages set num_messages 5 print_messages
18FECA00    06 FECA 00 --> FF [0008] 00FF00000000FFFF

Custom Modules

Create custom modules by creating a python file in the 'modules' folder. The file should contain the following function:

def main_mod(argv, device)

• argv contains the list of arguments passed to the module
• device contains the Device object passed to the module

J1939 API

Python docs are available in the j1939.py file. Existing modules provide example usage.
