ECU Simulator

소개

This tool acts as a dedicated server for processing and integrating vehicle CAN/OBD data with large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs). It establishes a virtual CAN bus environment, simulating Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and streaming various messages, including demo OBD-II responses. Utilizing DBC files for accurate encoding and decoding, it exposes a suite of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools—such as frame capture, filtering, signal monitoring, and DBC information—over Server-Sent Events (SSE). This enables developers to prototype and interact with automotive data without requiring any physical hardware, providing a flexible platform for AI-driven automotive applications.
