Advanced & reference#
This section is for topics that are usually needed after you already understand the core VAPI concepts and have run initial examples.
Use it when you need:
deeper runtime and integration details,
practical simulation/tooling information,
generated API documentation and terminology reference.
Why this matters#
Without a dedicated advanced/reference entry point, integration work is often done ad-hoc and knowledge remains scattered.
This section helps you:
troubleshoot with the right technical depth,
connect runtime behavior to concrete platform mechanisms,
find API-level details quickly when implementing or debugging.
What this section helps you do#
Run and validate behavior in simulated setups, including testing-oriented workflows.
Runtime executable/tooling details and operational integration entry points.
Plain socket channels and tunnel transport usage patterns (Linux and Windows).
Generated interface-level documentation for framework and integration work.
Definitions of key terms used across architecture, implementation and docs.
Quick paths#
If your main issue is IPC/connectivity debugging, start with IPC Channels (UDS/WinSock) and Tunnel Transport.
If you are validating behavior without target hardware, start with Simulation / Testing / FMU.
If you need interface signatures and API-level details, start with Open Vehicle API.
Where this fits in the journey#
Use this section as a targeted reference while implementing, integrating, or troubleshooting.
For first-time onboarding and conceptual understanding, start from Learn the concepts and then continue with Build services.
