4 Network Services and Tools Provided by OnRISC
4.8. Socketcand
socketcand is a daemon that provides access to CAN interfaces on a machine via a network inter-
face. The communication protocol uses a TCP/IP connection and a specific protocol to transfer
CAN frames and control commands. The protocol specification can be found in ./doc/protocol.md.

The project provides Java API to develop your own client applications for socketcand. There is
also a CAN sniffer software Kayak
34
, that uses socketcand protocol, so that you can use OnRISC
as a network based CAN sniffer at once.
Please note that socketcand service is disabled by default. You need to activate using sysv-rc-conf
(see Section 3.3).
