Simulator ​

What is the simulator? ​

The simulator is an interactive tool for testing EDIABAS communication without real hardware. It lets you respond to requests manually and observe raw traffic.

Start the Simulator ​

bash
ediabasx simulator

Options (from ediabasx simulator --help):

  • --host <host> (default: 127.0.0.1)
  • --port <port> (default: 6802)
  • --mode <mode> (default: text, options: text|hex)
  • --line-ending <ending> (default: crlf, options: crlf|lf|raw)

Example:

bash
ediabasx simulator --host 0.0.0.0 --port 6802 --mode hex

Human-in-the-Loop Testing ​

Use the simulator to:

  • Prototype workflows before hardware is available
  • Inspect and validate request/response patterns
  • Debug higher-level tooling

RAW / HEX Panels ​

The simulator UI provides raw/hex views of traffic so you can verify byte-level communication and adjust responses accordingly.

Responding to JSON-RPC Requests ​

When connected via the gateway interface, the simulator receives JSON-RPC requests. You can provide responses interactively to emulate an ECU.
