TCFDONMEZandClaude 2fd7b2dde1 Fatih'sMG4 — ABRP telemetry for an MG4 EH32 on SWI69
A fork of malys/EVABRPUploader (itself a fork of Leon Kernan's ABRP_Uploader)
carrying the changes that make it work on this car. History starts here: the
tree is what matters, and the upstream projects are where the earlier work
belongs.

EVHardware is vendored rather than tracked as a submodule, so one clone
builds.

Telemetry. SOC, battery power and range read as unavailable on SWI69 because
the vendor fallbacks were gated to SWI68 alone, while the property ids they
use are the ones this car publishes — the gates now admit SWI69. Tyre
pressure, the odometer and charge status come from the vendor block too,
since the generic properties for all three are declared here and never
publish. Tyre pressure is confirmed on the vehicle; the other two are not
yet.

Vehicle page. Every signal the car answers, in a table. One that it does not
publish shows a dash: an unimplemented VHAL property returns zero, and
"0 °C" would read as a measurement.

Wi-Fi page. Joins a network the unit already has saved, so a phone hotspot
does not need a trip into Settings on every drive. Tried on the upload tick
and from a button, skipped while already associated. This leans on the unit
being API 28 and the build being platform-signed — getConfiguredNetworks and
enableNetwork are closed to ordinary apps from API 29 — and fails quietly
where that does not hold.

The OTA updater points at this repository. An APK from upstream is signed
with a different key, which Android will not install over a platform-signed
build.

Supported firmware notes

This document records project compatibility constraints and behaviour confirmed during development. It must not be treated as a vendor specification.

Identity

Tested generation SWI68-29958-1300R69
Android 9 (Pie) — API 28
Chipset MediaTek MT2712
Device mt2712_saic_eh32 (eh32 = MG4)
Emulator display profile 1920×1080 @ 160 dpi

Signing caveat

Certificate equality alone does not prove an APK came from this project. The nightly OTA therefore also requires https and an exact-host GitHub allowlist. The same caveat applies to EVProfile's OTA.

Vendor property IDs

The vendor VHAL is vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.automotive.vehicle@2.0-service (ARM aarch64), backed by vendor/lib64/android.hardware.automotive.YFvehicle@2.0.so ("YF" supplier implementation). The property IDs (0x2160F404 SOC, 0x2140F41C range, …) are compiled into that binary, not stored in a readable config. The project therefore treats these IDs as implementation details with firmware-specific compatibility limits.

These IDs are therefore confirmed for SWI68 (R69) only. MG4 ships other generations (SWI69/131/132/133/165) and the VHAL binary lists many SAIC platforms (eh32, as33, ec32, ip42, …); the IDs may differ there.

Only SOC and range still ride these vendor IDs. Speed, outside temperature and park state are read through EVHardware, which branches per generation internally and so covers all six firmwares — CarPropertyAdapter carries just the SWI68 EV cluster plus the standard-AAOS charge / cabin-temp reads. EVHardware has no EV-battery abstraction for any generation, which is why SOC/range cannot yet follow the same path. See AGENTS.md for the full per-signal split.

Emulator fidelity

The mise emulator tasks use an API 33 automotive AVD for the car service and an API 28 AVD at 1920×1080 @ 160 dpi for the screen. Neither exposes the SAIC vendor properties, so vehicle-specific behaviour still requires on-vehicle validation.
