Tesla Pre-AP: Tinkla Buddy IC integration

Adds Tinkla Buddy R2S support to Tesla Pre-AP. With NAPTinklaICIntegration
enabled and a Buddy connected via EtherCAN bridge on the Tesla OBD port,
this PR makes openpilot render path / lanes / lead car / target speed /
road-sign on the stock Tesla MCU1 instrument cluster.

This is a 1:1 port from Tinkla unified (tesla_unity_releaseC3), bit-exact
verified via a local replay-rig against boggyver/openpilot 0.6.6. No new
algorithms or fork-specific changes — porting known-good code from a
production-validated path.

What's in this PR

New file

  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/hud_module.py (~435 LOC) — HUDController class
    that builds the 10 DAS_*-frames Buddy needs. Owns counter state,
    lane-poly state, lead-car state. Called per-tick from CarController.

Modified files

  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/teslacan.py — adds 11 create_* builders
    (one per DAS_*-frame plus create_fake_DAS_msg for 0x659 Buddy MITM
    trigger) and 14 arb-ID constants. Builders use DBC-packer where the
    signal exists in tesla_preap.dbc (already present for 0x239 / 0x309 /
    0x389 / 0x399 / 0x3A9 / 0x3E9 / 0x2B9) and raw struct.pack for the
    warning-matrices (0x329 / 0x349 / 0x369) and 0x659 fake_das.

  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/carstate.py — three additions:

    • cs.DAS_fusedSpeedLimit populated from Tesla DI's UI_mppSpeedLimit
      (with NAPRoadSignFallbackKph fallback when GPS SNA)
    • cs.magzu_long_active flag for Plan C 0x2B9 gate (see Coordination
      below)
    • UI_gpsVehicleSpeed added to chassis-message subscriptions (10Hz,
      math.nan if msg drops so CAN health doesn't fault on GPS SNA)
  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/nap_conf.pyroad_sign_fallback_kph
    property + setter backed by NAPRoadSignFallbackKph Params-key.

  • opendbc/car/tesla/carcontroller.py (top-level) — instantiates
    HUDController for all PreAP cars; sets up SubMaster for modelV2
    / radarState / selfdriveState payload; dispatches
    hud_controller.update() in _update_preap each tick. Adds a small
    _EventLikeReader bridge so hud_module's data.<field> access
    pattern (matching Tinkla 0.6.6 sub_sock semantics) works against a
    SubMaster transport.

New tests

  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/tests/test_hud_integration.py — core update
    path coverage
  • opendbc/car/tesla/preap/tests/test_speed_limit_widget.py
    DAS_fusedSpeedLimit fallback logic

Coordination with existing long-stack

HUDController would naturally emit 0x2B9 DAS_control (it's one of the
10 DAS-frames Tinkla sends). MagZu's PreAPLongController already emits
0x2B9 from the create_longitudinal_command path when cruise + long are
enabled. To avoid double-TX, the HUD suppresses its own 0x2B9 when
CS.magzu_long_active=True (set in carstate when cs.cruiseEnabled and cs.enableLongControl).

This means:

  • Long disabled, IC enabled: HUD sends all 10 frames including 0x2B9.
  • Long enabled, IC enabled: HUD sends 9 frames; existing
    long-controller handles 0x2B9 with its own counter + accel.
  • IC disabled: HUD is no-op regardless of long state.

No conflict with stalk-spoofer or pedal-controller paths.

What's NOT in this PR

Explicitly excluded to keep scope clean — these belong in separate PRs
if interesting:

  • Pedal-tier 2.x PID tuning (PEDAL_LONG_KP_V, VDAS_INNER_*,
    BRAKE_FACTOR_BP/V in constants.py) — our brake/accel-stretch and
    PID gains, tuned to our specific S85 hardware
  • Panda IC-generator firmware (teslaPreAp_send_IC_messages C-port,
    ~250 LOC) — was deployed on our hardware but verified null-effect.
    Tesla's gateway doesn't forward chassis-CAN 0x239 to the IC-bus
    side, and Buddy operates on the IC-bus side. The fix path is the
    felt-verdier in openpilot Python (this PR), not panda firmware
  • T1A/T2A/T2B upstream Tesla CC port (StockCCSpoofer extensions,
    VirtualDAS bundle additions) — separate upstream-port work, MagZu
    already has equivalent
  • NAPLateralGate, NAPForcePreAP overlay — our fork-specific safety
    policy
  • scripts/buddy_sprint/ — debug/validation suite (T1-T7 evidence
    scripts). Can be split into a tools/-PR if MagZu wants them
  • NAPDebugLog infrastructure — our debug-jsonl logger, not buddy-IC

Buddy taps the IC-bus side of Tesla's internal bridge. When
DAS_adaptive_cruise=1 is detected in 0x659 (fake_das), Buddy enters
MITM mode and replaces the IC-bound traffic with openpilot's rendered
overlay. Without the adaptive_cruise=1 trigger, MCU1's factory pre-AP
constant 7001030b80101611 wins the display.

This PR makes openpilot emit that trigger plus the lane / lead-car /
status payloads Buddy renders from.

Stubs (no-op, default 0)

  • ALCA (lane-change render) — needs alca_pre_engage /
    alca_engaged / alca_direction from the lateral controller stack.
    Current default: DAS_alca_state=1 (UNAVAILABLE_NO_LANES) or 6/7/8
    based on lane-quality only.
  • fleet_speed (map speed-limit overlay) — needs a mapd pipeline
    upstream. Current default: cs.fleet_speed_state=0,
    cs.DAS_fusedSpeedLimit=0 (sign rendered from Tesla DI GPS only).

Both stubs are documented in hud_module.py module docstring as future
work. They don't block lane / lead / target-speed rendering.

Test evidence

What's tested locally

  • pytest opendbc/safety/tests/test_tesla_preap.py — green (HUDController
    doesn't touch safety hooks)
  • pytest opendbc/car/tesla/preap/tests/test_hud_integration.py — green
  • pytest opendbc/car/tesla/preap/tests/test_speed_limit_widget.py — green
  • ✅ Local scons -j$(nproc) — green on nap-C3-dev baseline + this PR

What's validated on real hardware (Sveins c3, 2014 Tesla S85 P85)

  • ✅ Full Buddy IC functionality live on our fork (lanes, target-speed,
    road-sign, lead-car all visible on Tesla MCU1 cluster)
  • ✅ Drive-validated over multiple sessions since 2026-05-25
  • ⚠️ Drive-validated on our fork's full state (which includes pedal-
    tier 2.2 + T2A + panda IC-generator). The HUDController + teslacan
    builders + carstate fields are the proven critical path; the other
    pieces aren't required for IC rendering.

What's NOT validated

  • ❌ This PR's content in isolation against MagZu's nap-C3-dev
    baseline — requires bench validation on c3 with MagZu-base + PR
    before merge
  • ❌ MagZu's hardware variant (different panda revision, different
    Tesla year/options if any). Buddy/EtherCAN-bridge architecture is
    per Buddy spec and identical
  • ❌ Drive-validation of MagZu-base + PR — deferred to acceptor /
    community after merge

Recommended pre-merge: bench-validate on c3 with MagZu's panda + this
PR's opendbc to confirm CAN-bus output matches expectations (cabana
trace of 0x239 / 0x659 / 0x2B9 fields).

Known limitations

  • Plan C 0x2B9 gate is a coordination hack, not a clean architecture.
    Long-term refactor: single dispatch authority for 0x2B9 owned by
    whichever controller is active. Out of scope here.
  • fleet_speed_state was attempted (commit V60) and reverted (commit
    V61) — caused IC rendering breakage on our hardware. Investigation
    deferred. Currently commented out in carstate.py.
  • HUDController uses a local SubMaster because CarController
    doesn't receive one from card.py. A raw sub_sock approach was
    tried (commit V43) and returned None 100% of the time in live
    drive even though publishers had >17k frames. Root cause not fully
    isolated; SubMaster is card.py's proven cross-process pattern.

Hardware required (for end-user)

  • Comma 3 or comma 3X
  • Tinkla Buddy R2S (Realtek RTL8153 USB-Ethernet inside)
  • EtherCAN-bridge cable: USB-C ↔ Tesla OBD-Ethernet pins
  • 2014-2016 pre-AP Tesla Model S (verified on S85 P85)
  • Optional: c3 ↔ Buddy WiFi (10.5.5.x AP) for debug; not required for
    IC rendering

Buddy firmware: any version that supports DAS_fakeDasReceived trigger
(verified working on v1.44 and v1.49).

Ported 1:1 from Tinkla unified (tesla_unity_releaseC3) via bit-exact
verified replay-rig. Renders openpilot path / lanes / lead-car on Tesla
MCU1 instrument cluster via Buddy R2S's passive EtherCAN MITM-pipeline.

Sends 10 DAS_*-frames on chassis bus 0:
- 0x239 DAS_lanes (10Hz)  — lane geometry for IC path rendering
- 0x309 DAS_object (10Hz) — lead-car position (radar or vision-fallback)
- 0x329/349/369 DAS_warningMatrix0/3/1 (2Hz) — warning overlay
- 0x389 DAS_status2 (10Hz) — ACC status
- 0x399 DAS_status (10Hz)  — speed limit / fused speed
- 0x3A9 DAS_telemetry (10Hz) — road-info / lane quality
- 0x3E9 DAS_bodyControls (4Hz) — turn signal forwarding
- 0x659 fake_das (1Hz) — Buddy MITM trigger (DAS_adaptive_cruise=1)
- 0x2B9 DAS_control (gated, see magzu_long_active)

Coordinated with MagZu's existing long-stack via CS.magzu_long_active:
HUD suppresses its own 0x2B9 when MagZu's PreAPLongController is engaged
(see hud_module.py "Plan C 0x2B9 gate").

Risk-tier 3 (display-only, no actuator path).
Gating: CS.enableICIntegration (NAPTinklaICIntegration param). Default
off; user enables via NAP-settings toggle.

Stubs (no functionality, default 0):
- ALCA (lane-change render) — needs alca_pre_engage/engaged from
  controller stack
- fleet_speed (map speed-limit) — needs mapd pipeline

No new test dependencies; tests/test_hud_integration.py covers core
update path.

Extends TeslaCANPreAP with builders for the 10 DAS_*-frames sent by
HUDController plus 0x659 fake_das (Buddy MITM trigger). Adds 14
arb-ID constants (DAS_LANES_MSG_ID etc.) and per-frame counter state.

New builders (DBC-packer or raw struct.pack):
- create_lane_message (0x239, DBC, 10Hz)
- create_lead_car_object_message (0x309, DBC, 10Hz)
- create_body_controls_message (0x3E9, DBC, 4Hz)
- create_telemetry_road_info (0x3A9, DBC, 10Hz)
- create_das_warningMatrix0/1/3 (0x329/0x369/0x349, raw struct.pack, 2Hz)
- create_das_status (0x399, DBC, 10Hz, with byte-sum checksum + counter)
- create_das_status2 (0x389, DBC, 10Hz, with byte-sum checksum + counter)
- create_fake_DAS_msg (0x659, raw byte-array, 1Hz, Buddy MITM trigger)
- create_ap1_long_control (0x2B9, DBC, Tinkla in_drive/static_cruise/cruise_enabled signature)

DBC dependencies (already present in tesla_preap.dbc on nap-C3-dev):
0x239, 0x309, 0x389, 0x399, 0x3A9, 0x3E9, 0x2B9. No DBC changes needed.

Ported 1:1 from Tinkla unified (tesla_unity_releaseC3).

- cs.DAS_fusedSpeedLimit: Tesla GPS speed-limit (UI_mppSpeedLimit on
  UI_gpsVehicleSpeed) for IC road-sign widget. Falls back to
  NAPRoadSignFallbackKph param when GPS SNA.
- cs.magzu_long_active: signals HUDController to suppress its own
  0x2B9 when MagZu's long-controller TXes from
  create_longitudinal_command path.
- Subscribe to UI_gpsVehicleSpeed in chassis_messages (10Hz, GPS-gated).
- nap_conf.road_sign_fallback_kph property + NAPRoadSignFallbackKph
  param-key (Persistent INT, default 0 = no sign rendered when GPS SNA).
- NAPTinklaICIntegration param-key (default off = display-only opt-in).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Instantiate HUDController in CarController.__init__ for all PreAP cars
- Set up SubMaster for modelV2 / radarState / selfdriveState payload
  (uses _EventLikeReader bridge to keep hud_module's `data.<field>`
  access pattern unchanged from Tinkla original)
- Dispatch hud_controller.update() in _update_preap each tick;
  appends CAN messages to can_sends
- No-op when CS.enableICIntegration=False (default; opt-in toggle)

Regression tests:
- test_hud_integration.py — core update path (27 scenarios)
- test_speed_limit_widget.py — DAS_fusedSpeedLimit fallback logic

…ead var + numpy casts)

- cruise_speed: bruk speed_uom_kph i stedet for hardkodet KPH_TO_MPH.
  Tidligere ble cruise_speed alltid konvertert MPH-veien, som ga
  feil DAS_status2-displays for KPH-units.
- DAS_control_speed: fjern dead variable (assigned never used).
- numpy.clip casts: eksplisitt float()/int() på lead-data slik at
  CANPacker ikke får np.float64/np.int64 (kan være sprøtt med raw struct).

Addresses MagZu#1 review comments:

1. nap_conf.road_sign_fallback_kph: clip JSON-file path return to 0..150
   range (matching Params-path). Prevents callers receiving invalid values
   if cache file has out-of-range data.

2. teslacan.py builder signatures: clean up unused counter args.
   - create_body_controls_message: now uses provided counter (was hardcoded 1)
   - create_das_status / create_das_status2: drop counter param (was ignored;
     internal das_status_idx / das_status2_idx is authoritative)
   Updated all callers in hud_module.py + tests.

3. test_hud_integration.py: accumulate frames across full tick window.
   - test_toggle_off_no_ic_messages: forbidden frames must not appear on ANY
     tick (was only checking last tick — earlier tick leaks could pass)
   - test_engageable_from_selfdrive_state_drives_op_status: replaced
     always-true `assertGreater(len + 100, 0)` with proper
     `assertGreater(len, 0)` over full window

4. test_speed_limit_widget.py: remove unused MagicMock import; clarify
   CANPacker physical-vs-raw value comment (DBC scale 5 applied automatically).

No functional behavior changes — pure quality / clarity improvements.

CI standalone opendbc build (no cereal-module installed) fails import:
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cereal'
  File "opendbc/car/tesla/preap/hud_module.py", line 30
      from cereal import car

Opendbc is designed as a standalone Python package, but cereal lives in
openpilot. Two enum classes were imported (VisualAlert, AudibleAlert) —
both are also available via opendbc.car.structs.CarControl.HUDControl
(same capnp source). Use the opendbc-native path.

Other Tesla carcontrollers (ford, volkswagen, mazda, chrysler) follow
the same `from opendbc.car import structs` pattern.
