Mode
Full qualified VSS Path: Vehicle.Powertrain.TractionBattery.Charging.Mode
Description: Control of the charge process. MANUAL means manually initiated (plug-in event, companion app, etc). TIMER means timer-based. GRID means grid-controlled (eg ISO 15118). PROFILE means controlled by profile download to vehicle.
Comment: The mechanism to provide a profile to the vehicle is currently not covered by VSS.

Eclipse Leda: Usage Example

In Eclipse Kuksa.VAL Databroker CLI:

$ databroker-cli
sdv.databroker.v1 > connect
[connect] OK
sdv.databroker.v1 > get Vehicle.Powertrain.TractionBattery.Charging.Mode
[get]  OK
Vehicle.Powertrain.TractionBattery.Charging.Mode: ( NotAvailable )
sdv.databroker.v1 > set Vehicle.Powertrain.TractionBattery.Charging.Mode Foo
[set]  OK

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
