+SavvyCAN (Qt based cross platform canbus tool)
+
+A Qt5 based cross platform tool which can be used to load, save, and
+capture canbus frames. This tool is designed to help with visualization,
+reverse engineering, debugging, and capturing of canbus frames.
+
+Really requires at a resolution of at least 1024x768. Fully multi-monitor
+capable. Works on 4K monitors as well.
+
+You are highly recommended to use the CANDue board from EVTV.
+
+The CANDue board must be running the GVRET firmware which can also be
+found within the collin80 repos.
+
+It is now possible to use any QT SerialBus driver (socketcan, Vector,
+PeakCAN, TinyCAN). There may, however, be some loss of some functionality
+as some functions of SavvyCAN are designed for use directly with the EVTVDue
+and CANDue 2.0 boards.
+
+It should, however, be noted that use of a capture device is not required to
+make use of this program. It can load and save in several formats:
+
+BusMaster log file
+Microchip log file
+CRTD format (OVMS log file format from Mark Webb-Johnson)
+GVRET native format
+Generic CSV file (ID,D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7)
+Vector Trace files
+IXXAT Minilog files
+CAN-DO Logs
+Vehicle Spy log files
+CANDump / Kayak (Read only)
+PCAN Viewer (Read Only)
