HK-CoreTest
HONGKE Automotive Bus Test Software
HK-CoreTest is a comprehensive in-vehicle bus test software designed for automotive electronics simulation and testing. It supports CAN/CAN FD and in-vehicle Ethernet protocol monitoring, message sending/receiving, diagnostics, and database parsing, which enables comprehensive analysis and troubleshooting of bus communication.
- Comprehensive protocol support: Compatible with CAN/CAN FD and in-vehicle Ethernet, supports UDS diagnostics, DoIP and FBL scribing to meet diverse testing needs.
- Powerful database parsing: Built-in DBC parsing enables signal-level message editing and physical value display, improving test efficiency and accuracy.
- Highly compatible and integrated: Seamless support for third-party hardware, easy migration of test environments, and effective reduction of development costs.
- Low cost and ease of use: The interface is simple and intuitive, and combined with real-time technical support from a local team, it significantly reduces the cost of use and maintenance.
HK-CoreTest Core Features Overview
HK-CoreTest is a comprehensive tool for automotive electronic simulation and testing, supporting various in-vehicle communication protocols such as CAN (FD), Car Ethernet, etc., database parsing such as DBC, UDS diagnostics, and is compatible with many brands of toolchains in the market. It can connect, configure and control all the Avision hardware (e.g. Avision Telematics test boards, PCAN-USB/PCIe series, Car Ethernet tools, etc.) with automotive bus monitoring, simulation and diagnostic functions.
- Basic Functions
- Supports CAN/CAN FD, in-vehicle Ethernet (coming soon) data processing.
- Supports DBC, ARXML (coming soon) databases
- Transmission/Monitoring/Playback of reports
- Provide bus statistics and record function
- Advanced Features (under development)
In-vehicle Ethernet communication, UDS, DoIP diagnostic service, etc.

HK-CoreTest Software Features
- Engineering Management
- Establishment of new works:Users can build a complete test environment from scratch, including setting up project name and storage path, selecting initial hardware configuration templates, etc.
- To be imported into the existing works:Allows users to open and continue a previously saved project file, which can completely restore the original working status, including all hardware settings, message database and send/receive configurations.
- Project status management and monitoring:Provides a global view and centralized control of the entire project operation status.
- Subsequent agreement support
- TCP/UDP/SomeIP Agreement
- UDS Agreement
- DoIP Agreement
- CAN Communication Function
- Hardware Configuration: Supports CAN device vendor and channel settings, standard CAN baud rates (125K-1M) and CAN FD high speed baud rates (up to 8M).
- CAN Newspaper Transmission: Supports CAN and CAN FD message sending, and you can set the transmission period, message ID, data content, etc. Users can simulate the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to actively send messages on the bus.
- CAN message reception: Receives real-time reports on the CAN bus, supports multiple filtering modes, and the software listens to and decodes all activity on the bus and displays it in a clear, easy-to-read format (e.g., timestamps, IDs, data, directional Rx/Tx, cycles, etc.).
- Newspaper recording: Records CAN bus communication data and supports data export to save the original communication data on the bus as a file (e.g. .asc, .blf, etc.) in real time.
- Newspaper Rewind: Recorded CAN communication data can be played back to resend the saved log files to the bus in the original chronological order to simulate a real network environment.
- Database Analysis
- Supports parsing of automotive network database files such as DBC: After being imported into the database, the software automatically parses the hexadecimal message data into signal values with name and physical meaning.
- Data editing and display at the signal level: When sending a message, users can directly modify a single signal value, and the software will automatically convert the physical value to correct binary data according to the database definition and fill in the message.
