ekfsm 0.11.0b1.post3

The EKF System Management Library (ekfsm) is a sensor monitoring suite for Compact PCI Serial devices.

ekfsm - EKF system management library

Provides access to system management functions on Linux based modular hardware systems, such as CompactPCI-Serial systems.

Initial implementation for DP-ZIP2 CompactPCI-Serial system

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.
• Access to system level functions, such as system LEDs, system fan, system power supply, etc.
• Supports simulation mode for development and testing

Packaging

The project can be packaged and deployed as a pypi package to the gitlab pypi registry.

The project metadata is partially generated dynamically from the project readme and the auto generated version tag from SCM.

Build the package

To build the package run make build

Upload package manually to the GITLAB package registry

1. Set up your authentication method and the project URL in your ~/.pypirc according to Authenticate with the package registry
2. Run make upload

Note that the version string which is generated complies to the setuptools-scm default versioning scheme and thus the version string will be slightly different from the string generated during the pipeline build if running from a shell in a workspace.

See also SetupTools-SCM Documentation and SetupTool UserGuide.

Install a package

See instructions given in the packages deployed under this projects pypi registry.

Generating documentation

From the nix shell, run make docs to generate the documentation. This will start a local web server to view the generated documentation. It is automatically updated when the source code changes.

The documentation is generated using the sphinx tool. The configuration and docs are stored in the docs folder.

Remote development on the target

On the remote machine, install recent version of direnv:

curl -sfL https://direnv.net/install.sh | bash

Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:

eval "$(direnv hook bash)"

Install the following extensions in VSCode:

• cab404.vscode-direnv
• ms-python.mypy-type-checker
• mikoz.black-py
• ms-python.python
• ms-python.vscode-pylance
• ms-python.debugpy

From vscode on the host machine, open the project folder on the remote machine via ssh. The direnv extension will automatically load the environment variables from the .envrc file.
