Ⅰ. CANbus Reader

Step One

Using SSH ( Secure Shell ) to accessing the device Connect PC to EC312 Ethernet port 2(ETH2) and accessing devices through SSH using terminal tools.
ssh edge@192.168.4.100

password: security@edge

Step Two

Switch to root user

sudo -s
password: security@edge

Step Three

Confirm that the device can effectively access the external network ping 8.8.8.8 -c 4

Step Four

Update APT (Advanced Package Tool) source

apt-get update

Step Five

Install pip tools

apt-get install -y python3-pip

Step Six

Install python-can
pip3 install python-can
apt install python3-can

Step Seven

 Writing test scripts

Step Eight

CAN2 Connect to the device for testing

Step Nine

Running Python script

python3 ./can-ec312.py

Ⅱ. Create the Virtual Controller

Step One

Login to the Web management of EC312 and create a virtual controller under the Device
Supervisor plugin, you can hit the link below tot know more details about it.

Add a 'pressure' for an example.x

Step Two

Check its service ID to determine where we will write the data.

Ⅲ. Data from CANbus Reader be written into Virtual Controller via Southbound message bus.

Step One

Modify the python scripts. Connecting to the internal MQTT ( Message Queuing Telemetry Transport ) broker and writing data into the virtual controller.
hit the link below to know more about the internal mqtt message bus of Device supervisor.

Step Two

check if the virtual controller updates the value from internal mqtt message bus.
