Protocol abstraction and parser for PHiLIP

PHiLIP PAL (PHiLIP Protocol Abstraction Layer)

Introduction

A set of python modules that abstract away and standardize shell based command for bare metal memory map access.

PHiLIP PAL is used to interface to a memory map specified from a csv or by the device. It handles the parsing of offsets, sizes, etc. of the device.

To use this interface a memory must be provided, by default the package contains the PHiLIP memory map for all the versions. If a development version of PHiLIP is used and a memory map has not been released, the memory map can be scanned from the device.

PHiLIP PAL Installation

To interface to PHiLIP first install the philip_pal for python3.

sudo pip3 install philip_pal

Running PHiLIP PAL

First connected PHiLIP to the computer so a serial port connection is available.

This script handles interfacing to the PHiLIP device. It parses data and exposes from the PhilipExtIf class to be run in a shell.

The pip installation installs a script that can be run with philip_shell

The purpose of this script is allow easy setup and manual usage of PHiLIP.
