Add support to read in Vector BLF (binary log files) into chipmunk #458

Open kafuchs opened 5 years ago

kafuchs commented 5 years ago

Prerequisites

Our customer log many busses with the Vector CANoe tools and record them in the BLF (binary log file) format. This can included multiple busses (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet, MOST). In order to read the file you need to have CANoe with the proper license for each bus on the computer. Some engineer might have only CAN licenses for CANoe and as soon a BLF file contains also any other bus recording, the file will not open in CANoe.

Toby Lorenz has published some C++ code to read such files (among others): https://tobylorenz.bitbucket.io/modules.html which hopefully will help to read the format.

Expected Behavior

Read in any Vector BLF file and see the logged frames of all busses together.

Be aware of the licensing issue, those libraries are GPL
