Open Vehicle Diagnostics (OVD) is a Rust-based open source vehicle ECU diagnostic platform that makes use of the J2534-2 protocol, as well as SocketCAN on Linux!
The idea is to make diagnosing and exploring your cars diagnostics functions possible, via an API, thus allowing the ability for you to reprogram ECU’s without the need for a special dealer-only tool.
