ekfsm - EKF system management library
Provides a python library framework for access to system management functions on Linux based modular hardware systems, such as CompactPCI-Serial systems.
Features
- System configuration via YAML configuration file
- Obtain inventory information of the system and its components
- Obtain sensor information, such as temperature, humidity, voltage, current, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.
- Write and read EEPROM contents
- Access to system level functions, such as system LEDs, system fan, system power supply, etc.
- Supports simulation mode for development and testing
- Probing of desired boards in configured slots
Requirements
Prior to the use of I2C, PMBus or GPIO devices using the API, those devices have to be initialised by ACPI or manual device setup.
Example
In order to initialize an EEPROM of type AT24 behind a Mux channel 0, manualy add the device:
cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0074/channel-0/
echo 24c02 0x55 >new_device
Now we can access the EEPROM contents:
hd 8-0055/eeprom

Installation
To install the package via pip, you have to use a virtual environment to ensure full operabilty. Note: CLI entrypoint script won't work if installed in the system store!
Prepare virtual environment
First, name, create and activate your virtual environment (here myvenv):
$ python -m venv myvenv
$ source myvenv/bin/activate
Package install
Now install the ekfsm package and all dependencies from the project pypi registry:
(myvenv) $ pip install ekfsm --index-url https://gitlab.ekf.com/api/v4/projects/407/packages/pypi/simple

Example Usage Scenario
To use the library for a desired system, it must be configured in a system config yaml file:
# Example config
system_config:
name: "Simple System"
slots:
- name: SYSTEM_SLOT
slot_type: CPCI_S0_SYS
desired_hwmodule_type: EKF SC9-Toccata
desired_hwmodule_name: CPU
attributes:
is_master: true
- name: SLOT1
slot_type: CPCI_S0_PER
desired_hwmodule_type: EKF SRF-SUR
desired_hwmodule_name: SER
attributes:
slot_coding: 0x1
API
If you want to access the LEDs on the EKF SUR-UART, you can do the following:
import ekfsm
system = ekfsm.System("system.yaml")
# alternative ways to get the SUR HWModule
sur = system["SER"] # by using the HWModule name as key
sur = system.ser # by using the HWmodule name as attribute
sur = system.slots["SLOT1"].hwmodule # by using the slot name as key
sur = system.slots.slot1.hwmodule # by using the slot name as attribute
# accessing the LED device
sur.led_a.set(0,"purple") # set the color of the LED to purple
For further infos on all API aspects, please see the API Reference.
CLI
Upon activation of a venv provided with the ekfsm library, an entry point script ekfsm-cli is exported in the current shell.
See ekfsm-cli -h for a help on the usage.
