Simple SOME/IP is a Rust library implementing the SOME/IP automotive communication protocol — remote procedure calls, event notifications, and wire format serialization. Based on the [Open SOME/IP Specification](https://github.com/some-ip-com/open-someip-spec).
The library supports both `std` and `no_std` environments, making it suitable for embedded targets as well as host-side tooling and scripting.
## Features
- **`no_std` compatible** — the `protocol`, `traits`, and `e2e` modules work without the standard library
- **Service Discovery** — SD entry/option encoding and decoding via fixed-capacity `heapless` collections (no heap allocation)
- **End-to-End protection** — Profile 4 (CRC-32) and Profile 5 (CRC-16) with zero-allocation APIs
- **Async client and server** — tokio-based, gated behind optional feature flags
- **`embedded-io`** traits for serialization — abstracts over `std::io::Read`/`Write`
## Modules
- `protocol` — Wire format layer: SOME/IP header, `MessageId`, `MessageType`, `ReturnCode`, SD entries/options
- `traits` — `WireFormat` and `PayloadWireFormat` traits for custom message types
- `e2e` — End-to-End protection profiles (always available, no heap allocation)
- `client` — High-level async tokio client (requires `feature = "client"`)
- `server` — Async tokio server with SD announcements and event publishing (requires `feature = "server"`)
## Usage
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
# Protocol/E2E only (default) — no_std compatible, no tokio dependency
simple-someip = "0.5"
# Client only
simple-someip = { version = "0.5", features = ["client"] }
# Server only
simple-someip = { version = "0.5", features = ["server"] }
# Both client and server
simple-someip = { version = "0.5", features = ["client", "server"] }
```
### Feature flags
| `client` | no | Async tokio client; implies `std` + tokio + socket2 |
| `server` | no | Async tokio server; implies `std` + tokio + socket2 |
| `std` | no | Enables std-dependent code |
By default only the `protocol`, `traits`, and `e2e` modules are available, and the crate compiles in `no_std` mode. Most applications only need one of `client` or `server`.
## Quick Start
### Client
```rust
use simple_someip::{Client, ClientUpdate, RawPayload};
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Client::new returns a (Client, ClientUpdates) pair.
// Client is Clone-able and can be shared across tasks.
let (client, mut updates) = Client::<RawPayload>::new(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 1, 100));
// Bind the SD multicast socket to discover services
client.bind_discovery().await.unwrap();
// Receive discovery, unicast, and error updates
while let Some(update) = updates.recv().await {
match update {
ClientUpdate::DiscoveryUpdated(msg) => { /* SD message */ }
ClientUpdate::Unicast { message, e2e_status } => { /* unicast reply */ }
ClientUpdate::SenderRebooted(addr) => { /* remote reboot detected */ }
ClientUpdate::Error(err) => { /* error */ }
}
}
}
```
### Server
```rust
use simple_someip::server::{Server, ServerConfig};
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let config = ServerConfig::new(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 1, 200), 30500, 0x1234, 1);
let mut server = Server::new(config).await?;
server.start_announcing()?;
let publisher = server.publisher();
tokio::spawn(async move { server.run().await });
// Publish events to subscribers...
Ok(())
}
```
## Examples
Examples are provided in the `examples/` directory. To run the discovery client example:
```bash
cargo run -p discovery_client
```
