The PduApi communication between devices is similar to D-PDU API calls.

A wireshark dissector can be used to make the transfer readable.

A big advantage is the possibility to display D-PDU API calls and CAN-BUS or Ethernet synchronously. This gives the option to investigate any D-PDU API: The PduApi as well as 3rd party D-PDU API implementations.

Custom-Column

PduApi - dissector support the Custom column in wireshark. In this column the request or response type is displayed.

PDU_IOCTL_TRACE_ID

PduApi has the feature to separate the tests by sending a PDUIoctl( PDU_IOCTL_TRACE_ID, "mesage") to the TCP-Server. This PDU_IOCTL_TRACE_ID will be displayed different to make it more easy to see what happens in the communication channels.

An example is at usecase_remote_vci.

pduapi_dissector.[so|dll] is part of the installation package on Windows and Linux.

To install the PduApi-dissector please have a look at the wireshark manual.
