About VSS
The Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) is an initiative by COVESA to define a syntax and a catalog for vehicle signals. The source code and releases can be found in the VSS github repository.
Supported datatypes
The following is a list of VSS supported built-in datatypes:
| Name | Type | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| uint8 | unsigned 8-bit integer | 0 | 255 |
| int8 | signed 8-bit integer | -128 | 127 |
| uint16 | unsigned 16-bit integer | 0 | 65535 |
| int16 | signed 16-bit integer | -32768 | 32767 |
| uint32 | unsigned 32-bit integer | 0 | 4294967295 |
| int32 | signed 32-bit integer | -2147483648 | 2147483647 |
| uint64 | unsigned 64-bit integer | 0 | 2^64 - 1 |
| int64 | signed 64-bit integer | -2^63 | 2^63 - 1 |
| boolean | boolean value | 0/false | 1/true |
| float | floating point number | -3.4e -38 | 3.4e 38 |
| double | double precision floating point number | -1.7e -300 | 1.7e 300 |
| string | character string | n/a | n/a |
Min, max and default values defined in a Vehicle Signal Specification must be in the supported range of the data type.
