We have Dataspeed DBW system integrated with the vehicle. Dataspeed DBW works fine including throttle and brake independently with the vehicle with USB CAN provided by Dataspeed.

When the vehicle is connected to Drive AGX CAN1 (CAN 6/4), we are able send command to enable, disable, steering, gears (forward, reverse and neutral) commands using vehicle I/O and they work fine. However, when we send the brake and throttle commands, the dwVehicleIOState state remains unchanged and there is no visible indication on vehicle.

Please note that we are using Polaris vehicle integrated with Dataspeed DBW and we are using joystick (Logitech Gamepad F310) for sending the commands. We have also set the driving mode to DW_VEHICLEIO_DRIVING_NO_SAFETY.

Please find below the rig file used.

Please find below the logs captured which shows that the command is send to vehicle for brake and throttle but the dwVehicleIOState values remain unchanged. One thing that was noticed was dwVehicleIOState throttle value has some random data.

Hi, @hitesh.pandya1

Did you observe the issue with sample_vehicleio?

hitesh.pandya1 · November 4, 2021, 5:19am

Hi VickNV,

I am using sample_vehicleio. I added the required gear buttons as below and is working fine. Have also added few traces to see if the button pressed values are within the range. However, looks like throttle and brake commands are not being sent to the vehicle.

    // Gear buttons
    if (buttons[JS_Y_PARK]) {
        m_cmd.gear = DW_VEHICLEIO_GEAR_PARK;
    } else if (buttons[JS_B_REVERSE]) {
        m_cmd.gear = DW_VEHICLEIO_GEAR_REVERSE;
    } else if (buttons[JS_X_NEUTRAL]) {
        m_cmd.gear = DW_VEHICLEIO_GEAR_NEUTRAL;
    } else if (buttons[JS_A_DRIVE]) {
        m_cmd.gear = DW_VEHICLEIO_GEAR_DRIVE;
    } else {
        m_cmd.gear = DW_VEHICLEIO_GEAR_UNKNOWN;
    }

Regards,
Hitesh

Please also find below the output from sample_canbus_interpreter while sending the commands. I have just added few traces for easy understanding. As you would notice, commands are being sent to the vehicle as PCMD_NONE for Brake and Throttle. As mentioned earlier Dataspeed DBW with USB CAN is working fine.

Looks like byte 3 for brake and throttle is different from what is expected by Dataspeed DBW system.

BR,
Hitesh

What’s byte #3 of the two commands? Will it cause the issue?

hitesh.pandya1 · November 8, 2021, 5:37am

Please find below the brake and throttle command bit values supported by Dataspeed.

Byte 3 (23:16) should be 20 instead of 01 as sent by NVIDIA vehicleIO

Same is the case for throttle.

The mandatory CMD_TYPE field was added for brake and throttle commands from DriveWorks 3.0. Now the CMD_TYPE is set as ‘1’.
You can check it with DRIVE OS 5.2.6 and DriveWorks 4.0.

hitesh.pandya1 · November 8, 2021, 3:30pm

Thanks VickNV.

For Brake, the CMD_TYPE needs to be set to 2 and for Throttle, it needs to be set as 1. Can you please confirm the same?

Also, we am using DriveSoftware 10.0. What all features of DriveSoftware will not be available if we move to DRIVE OS 5.2.6 and DriveWorks 4.0?

VickNV · November 8, 2021, 4:05pm

May I know the datasheet is for which dataspeed firmware version? Thanks.

hitesh.pandya1 · November 8, 2021, 4:14pm

We are using the DBW_Kit_Polaris_20210921 release with firmware version 1.1.0

Regards,
Hitesh

VickNV · November 8, 2021, 4:50pm

Did you mean percent of maximum torque is necessary for your use case?
Could you help to explain what’s the problem of not implemented on this platform? It will be easier for me to check with the team. Thanks.

hitesh.pandya1 · November 8, 2021, 5:10pm

For Brake the CMD_TYPE takes below values
bit 16-19 Unimplemented: Set to ’0’
bit 20-23 CMD TYPE: Command Type
0 = NONE
1 = not implemented on this platform
2 = PERCENT (percent of maximum torque)
3 = TORQUE (integer open-loop braking torque)
4 = TORQUE RQ (integer closed-loop braking torque)
5 = not implemented on this platform
6 = not implemented on this platform

CMD_TYPE = 1 is not supported by Dataspeed. Which effectively means that it will not be recognized by Dataspeed firmware and we will not be able to control the Brake.

For CMD_TYPE=2 it takes values as
bit 0-15 PCMD: Pedal Command
Percent (CMD TYPE = 2):
0x0000 = 0%
0xFFFF = 100%

For CMD_TYPE=3 or 4 it takes values as
bit 0-15 Torque Mode (CMD TYPE = 3 or 4):
0x0000 = 0 N-m
0x0001 = 1 N-m
0xFFFF = 65535 N-m

I couldn’t find the below information from the datasheets in
DBW_Kit_Polaris_20210921. Could you point out where it’s from?

It looks to me there are two problems now.

DriveWorks 2.2 doesn’t support CMD_TYPE of throttle/brake command.
DriveWorks 3.5/4.0 supports them but only supports the raw pedal position for brake command (which isn’t supported by the platform you’re using).

hitesh.pandya1 · November 9, 2021, 4:25am

Please find below the link for Dataspeed releases. We are using Polaris GEM E2 vehicle.

So, what is the option we have and how can we integrate Dataspeed DBW with Drive AGX?

VickNV · November 9, 2021, 2:47pm

In the case, you need to refer to VehicleIO Plugin Sample and implement your own plugin.

hitesh.pandya1 · November 9, 2021, 3:10pm

I thought NVIDIA is by default integrated with Dataspeed. Is this not a bug in the integration?

VickNV · November 9, 2021, 4:07pm

The DataSpeed driver in DriveWorks is for NVIDIA BB8 test vehicle so it doesn’t support all DataSpeed DBW platforms. Sorry for any inconvenience.

hitesh.pandya1 · November 10, 2021, 3:05pm

Hi VickNV,

Writing a plugin will delay the project. Is there an option where we can initialize the vehicleIO with DBC file?
I do see an option dwVehicleIO_initializeFromDBC. Could this be an option for having the CAN message based on the DBC file? Any inputs here will be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,
Hitesh

VickNV · November 10, 2021, 3:55pm

In DriveWorks 2.2 dwVehicleIO_initializeFromDBC() doesn’t support DW_VEHICLEIO_DATASPEED dwVehicleIOType.
In DriveWorks 4.0 the reference dataspeed driver doesn’t refer to dbc passed by dwVehicleIO_initializeFromDBC().
