Common Use Cases

Note

The commands in the guide will use the flync_example directory. Try it out or update the path accordingly to your config path!

Validate a workspace

flync validate examples/flync_example

CI/CD workspace validation

Run validation as a pipeline gate to catch configuration errors early:

flync validate examples/flync_example --quiet

Validate a node

Use –node or -n to validate just a part of a config such as an ECU directory, a SOME/IP config, a Switch config, etc. :

flync validate --node ECU examples/flync_example/ecus/eth_ecu

flync validate -n Switch examples/flync_example/ecus/high_performance_compute/switches/hpc_switch1.flync.yaml

Inspect ECUs in a workspace

flync info list-ecus examples/flync_example

Auditing IP address assignments

Quickly list all IP addresses across every ECU in a workspace to spot conflicts:

flync info list-ips examples/flync_example

Use -e to inspect a specific ECU:

flync info list-ips -e eth_ecu examples/flync_example

Reviewing VLAN membership

Check which interfaces and ECUs belong to a specific VLAN:

flync display-vlan-info 10 examples/flync_example

Debugging SOME/IP service deployments

Identify which ECUs provide or consume a service and verify IP/port configuration:

flync display-service-info "Enhanced Testability Services" examples/flync_example

Generating topology documentation

Produce a PlantUML diagram of the full system topology for documentation or review:

flync generate-system-uml examples/flync_example --output topology.puml
