examples not working for me

[SpieringsAE]

Hello,

I want to use this library to read information from a running program via xcp.
And as there is not a lot of documentation yet i thought let's try some of the examples and see what happens.

However they don't seem to be working for me, most give this error: TRANSPORT must be specified in config!
Which comes from config.py, but all of the other conf files seem to contain TRANSPORT fields that have entries in them.

and when i run xcptest.py it complains about the entries of the Eth() method:

`
Exception has occurred: TypeError
init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'port'
File "/etc/pyxcptest.py", line 92, in cstest
tr = transport.Eth("localhost", port=5555, protocol="UDP", loglevel="WARN") # "DEBUG"
File "/etc/pyxcptest.py", line 590, in
cstest()

`

I think I would like to use the Ethernet protocol, as the program I'm monitoring is running locally on the same controller as the python script I'm trying to make.

But i also have a general question, I'm used to having to load an A2L file to use xcp, but i haven't seen anything related to reading one in the examples. Does the library get that information some other way somehow?

I must admit that I am quite new to stuff this indepth in python.

File "/etc/pyxcptest.py", line 92, in cstest do you mean examples/xcptest.py ?

This is a legacy script and indeed not working (I've just removed it).

As a starting point you should use:

python xcphello.py -c conf_eth.toml

There are various example configurations in .json and .toml format.

Here you find the configuration documentation.

For A2L action in general use pya2ldb.
Both projects are mainly mechanism-not-policy, i.e. rather low-level, for this reason I've created
asamint -- there's still much work to do, but there are some working examples, like creating calibration data files (ASAM CDF and Damos DCM).
Documentation will follow (really...)

Thanks for your quick reply!

I really appreciate the work you are doing here, I will try out your feedback.

I tend to be behind on the documentation part aswell so i understand hahaha.
