Research direction

Start with cars/egmp/src/lib.rs and the existing ChargePortCommand, then review the SavvyCAN logger and firmware#22 reference for the car’s frames. Add the captured frames to dbc/m-can.dbc in contracts and send them from the firmware, ensuring sending is gated by read-only mode and the car check. Done means the command opens and closes the charge port using the captured frames and respects both checks.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

e-gmp

Open and close the charge port door (ChargePortCommand). It currently returns "Not implemented" (cars/egmp/src/lib.rs).

Capture the frames the car sends when this is done from the car itself (SavvyCAN logger, firmware#22), add them to dbc/m-can.dbc in contracts, then send them from the firmware.

Only send while read-only is off and the car identity check passes.
