Awesome CAN Bus

A single-README list of CAN bus tools, hardware and resources for automotive and embedded work, grouped into sections for reverse-engineering tools, test equipment and simulators, higher-layer protocols (OBD-II, UDS, ISO-TP, J1939, J2534), general and Linux utilities, CAN database formats (DBC, KCD) with converters, and hardware for ARM, Arduino, ESP32, single-board computers and FPGA cores. Each entry links out to an external project or resource with a short description.

Requirements & limits

  • The reviewed README, last committed 2026-08-07, links roughly 260 entries across its sections; it is a list of pointers, not reviewed or runtime-tested projects, and one project can appear under several sections.
  • Entries give a name, an external link and a short description, and state no license, platform or maintenance status, so each linked tool, library or hardware project must be checked at its own source.
  • CAN bus analysis and the listed hardware need physical access to a vehicle or bus and appropriate interface hardware; the list covers the CAN protocol and higher-layer automotive protocols as its subject, and this record restates no specific procedure.
  • The list text is released under CC0-1.0; linked projects and resources keep their own licenses and terms. An independent discovery list; the reviewed source establishes no REA connection.
