I agree that the approaches are quite different and also we are trying to cover different use cases with our projects. With Kayak I tried to provide a free CAN bus analysis solution. The TCP/IP abstraction is a nice feature which enables you to do things like remote analysis and to connect from multiple machines at once. Kayak is not - and will probably never be - a very good tool for restbus simulation. In principle it is possible but Kayak is not intended for this. >> Implementing a restbus functionality in JAVA based on the Kajak library is >> very easy - when you are a JAVA developer ;-) >> >> I like your approach to get a restbus simulation in C. > > Well the simulation is written in Javascript, which is even easier than C or > Java.

I like the idea of using Javascript and especially NodeJS for restbus simulation. At the weekend I will try to set it up at home and play around a little bit :). >> I wonder, if it makes sense for your project to adopt the XML-based KCD >> format for CAN signal descriptions: > > I had a look at the spec, KCD looks pretty good, I think I will use it to > replace the JSON description. \o/ Yay! That's a good idea. >> There's also a dbc input converter on the run to create KCDs: >> https://github.com/dschanoeh/CANBabel > > Thats create, I was afraid I need to implement the converter myself. ;-) I > hope they will extend to parse .sym files from Peak as well. We mostly have .dbc files we need to convert. Support for different formats (and possibly even conversion in both ways) is planned. Do you use PEAK .sym-files and could you provide some example files and help finding bugs in a .sym-Parser? > Do you know about BUSMASTER (https://github.com/rbei-etas/busmaster).

How lightweight is NodeJS? I would find this useful for quick and dirty hacks in embedded units. Could memory (Flash and RAM) be a problem on such devices?
