Changes with this release

Signal Updates

  • Signals deprecated in 4.X versions removed
  • Some signals added, but nothing significant compared to 4.2

UUID removed from release artifacts

VSS Release artifacts (VSS standard catalog in various formats) will no longer contain UUID information.
If you need artifacts with UUID you need to generate the artifact yourself.

Instructions:

  1. Clone the repo and check out the tag you want, for example git checkout v5.0.
  2. Update submodules, for example git submodule update --init.
  3. Add --uuid as argument to the relevant command in Makefile.
  4. Run generation, for example make csv.

OBD Branch deprecated

The Vehicle.OBD branch is now deprecated. The plan is to remove it in VSS 6.0.
The background is a decision that VSS standard catalog shall not contain a one-to-one representation of the OBD standard.
Instead, VSS standard catalog may contain corresponding information elsewhere. As an example, instead of
Vehicle.OBD.EngineSpeed (PID 0C), the VSS signal Vehicle.Powertrain.CombustionEngine.Speed can be used.
Note that not all signals in Vehicle.OBD have "duplicates", especially in the area of combustion engine control
(like Oxygen sensor lambda and voltage readings) VSS currently does not have any counterparts in other parts of the tree.

What to do if you as of today use signals from the OBD file:

  • Check if any suitable replacement signal exist.
    Example: if you use Vehicle.OBD.Speed, consider using Vehicle.Speed instead.
  • If not and the data may be of general interest; consider creating a pull request
    with a replacement signal.
    Example: VSS as of today only have Lambda information in OBD branch.
    If you need VSS signals for Lambda, consider creating new signals in
    Vehicle.Powertrain.CombustionEngine branch.
  • If you really need the signals in this file and cannot replace them, then consider using the overlay file in the
    overlays directory from VSS 6.0 onwards.

Updated tool dependency

CLI updates

The vss-tools CLI has been refactored. Makefile in this repository updated.

Overlay Support

VSS-tools support for overlays have been improved. It is now in many cases not necessary to specify
type and datatype for items in the overlay if you are changing an existing item.
