NAME¶

codb2json - convert CANopen Profile data base (codb) files to JSON format

SYNOPSIS¶

codb2json input-file [-f]

DESCRIPTION¶

codb2json converts a CANopen Profile data base (codb) file to JSON format. The resulting JSON file can be used by CANopenTerm(1) to check the conformity of a CANopen CC interface against the CANopen application layer and communication profile (CiA 301).

JSON is used as the output format because it is robust, easy to process, and widely accepted, in contrast to the binary codb format which is antiquated and difficult to maintain.

OPTIONS¶

input-file

Path to the input codb file to convert.

-f

Format (pretty-print) the JSON output.

EXAMPLES¶
