Yu Yuan developed and enhanced ISO-TP support for ESP-IDF in the espressif/idf-extra-components repository, focusing on robust CAN/TWAI communication for embedded automotive applications. Over two months, Yu implemented a modular isotp-c library and an esp_isotp component in C, enabling end-to-end segmented payload transmission with a non-blocking, multi-instance API. The work included extending support for 29-bit CAN IDs, introducing thread safety, and providing ISR-safe asynchronous sending with pre-allocated buffers. By integrating callback-based event-driven interfaces and centralized configuration using Kconfig and YAML, Yu improved throughput, reduced latency, and simplified integration, demonstrating depth in protocol implementation and embedded systems design.

Monthly summary for 2025-09: Implemented ISO-TP enhancements in espressif/idf-extra-components to improve CAN transport reliability, performance, and usability. Key deliverables include 29-bit ID support with thread safety, non-blocking per-message ID transmission with ISR-safe operation using pre-allocated TX buffers, and a callback-based event-driven interface with automatic ID detection. Fixed a critical issue in asynchronous TWAI sending by pre-allocating TX buffers to enable interrupt-context sends. Result: improved throughput, lower latency, simpler integration, and reduced configuration complexity for developers.

Month: 2025-08 Key features delivered: - ISO-TP support for ESP-IDF (ISO 15765-2) over CAN/TWAI implemented via a new isotp-c library and the esp_isotp component. This enables end-to-end ISO-TP transmission with segmentation/reassembly, and introduces a non-blocking API with multi-instance support. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month. (no regressions reported related to the new ISO-TP stack) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Expanded ESP-IDF’s automotive communications capabilities with ISO-TP, enabling reliable transmission of large payloads and improved interoperability with CAN networks. - Reduced integration effort for automotive-focused projects and opened new use cases (diagnostics, firmware updates) thanks to a modular, scalable implementation. - Strengthened product readiness for automotive customers by providing a centralized configuration path and a reusable isotp-c library. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - ISO-TP protocol implementation and automotive-grade library design (isotp-c) - ESP-IDF component development (esp_isotp) and modular architecture - Non-blocking, multi-instance API design and segmentation/reassembly patterns - SDK config integration for centralized, scalable deployment Commit highlights: - 465046b74311e0fe6ae38a98214d140563edec8d — feat: Add isotp-c library - 233b082eacca9079fcdd7dc5de6208666d6e8128 — refactor(isotp): update configuration to use SDK config values - fce267a0fc19104e70b954e53863e8573de61f53 — feat(isotp): add the esp_isotp component
