Intro

• LIN Bus Explained - A Simple Intro.

SW Tools

• TSMaster - Powerful open environment for automotive CAN and LIN bus monitoring, simulation, testing, diagnostics, calibration and so on (Closed source).

Linux related

• linux-lin - Linux kernel LIN bus support implemented as TTY line discipline for generic UART conrollers: Documentation; Paper.

Parsers

• LDF Parser - Tool is able parse LIN Description Files, retrieve signal names and frames from them, as well as encoding messages using frame definitions and decoding them.
• LDF-Parser - Parser for retrieving data from automotive Lin description files (LDF).
• NCF-Parser - Parser for retrieving data from automotive Node Configuration Files (NCF).

Hardware

• LinUSBConverter - LIN to USB converter with LIN master support compatible with SLCAN.
• linbus - Arduino based LINBUS stack and signal interceptor/injector.
• linbus-phat - LIN Bus interface for Raspberry PI Zero.
• budgetcan - Firmware to support gs_usb on most STM32 devices with LIN bus support.

SLLIN protocol (like slcan)

SLLIN protocol - that is like slcan protocol for linux based OS.

• sllin - Linux driver for LIN interfaces (serial line qdisc).
• sllin linux
• start_lin_demo.sh

unsorted

• Uart to LinBus on Android

• Volvo LIN bus reader

• BMW Pierburg CWA400 waterpump LIN controller example

• LIN Nodes - Firmware and PCB designs for various LIN network nodes intended for retrofitting older vehicles.

• LIN - The LIN protocol implemented over Arduino APIs (Serial and Digital IO).

• macchina LIN - Arduino library to add dual LIN support on SAM3X based boards.

• LIN compiler - LIN is a compiler (written in java) that will parse LIN Node capability and LIN description files and generate C source code that implements the LIN 2.2 spec for slave or master nodes.

• ESP32-LIN-Interface-Library - LIN-Master functions (write and request LIN-Frames via hardware UART of an ESP32.

• open-LIN - Implementation of Local interconnect network in C.

• ESP32-openLIN - The open-LIN implementation on ESP32 based on ESP32-SoftwareLIN.
