This commit enables a different mbedtls library to be used for RCP
builds. This will make it possible to use a PSA Crypto mbedtls library
for FTD/MTD images while using a non-PSA crypto library on RCPs.
This commit implements new logging model in OpenThread. Each core
module can specify its own module name using `RegisterLogModule()`.
The registered log module name is then included in the all the log
messages emitted from the specific file. This model replaces and
enhances the log region model.
Background:
In an early stage of developing a new product, developers may want to
verify the Thread related hardware functionality, for example, send,
receive, etc. However if the product uses the posix <-> RCP mode,
it's hard to verify it before the posix daemon can run on the
host. cli-ftd and cli-mtd could be an alternative. However, if the
product uses the posix <-> RCP mode, the space of the 802.15.4 radio
chip will be very small. For example, nRF52811 doesn't have enough
space to flash cli-ftd or cli-mtd firmware. So this PR creates a new
firmware ot-cli-radio which has very limited functionality for
verifying the hardware.
Basically, the ot-cli-radio consists of openthread-radio and
libopenthread-cli-radio.a. It supports very few cli commands. The most
important command is diag. Currently, there are: diag, help, reset,
version.
Currently, the diag commands have different implementation on RCP:
- For commands like diag start, the process function
(Diags::ProcessStart) is first called on host. Then host sends an
SPI frame to the RCP and Diags::ProcessStart (different
implementation) is called again on RCP.
- For commands like diag send, Diags::ProcessSend is first called on
host. Then host sends an SPI frame to the RCP, directly calling
send API. And there is no Diags::ProcessSend implemented on RCP.
Let's call the implementation of Diags::Process* currently on host as
native diag commands. When we run ot-cli-radio, we should use the
native diag commands because it won't interact with a posix daemon and
it processes the diag commands through the whole process. So this PR
adds a new option OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_DIAG_NATIVE_CMDS_ON_RCP to control
whether to use the native diag implementation on RCP. When we use a
normal RCP, the option should be disabled. While when use
ot-cli-radio, the option should be enabled.
This commit disallows concurrent commands.
With this commit, the CLI only execute a new command after it complete
the previous command. CLI can also prompt properly after the command
execution is done.
Other fixes and enhancements:
- Fixes premature command prompt
- Add ping async command for ping in async mode: output Done
immediately but print ping responses later on.
- Fixes networkdiagnostic get outputs multiple Done by always waiting
for 5 seconds.
This commit adds `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_CLI_LOG_INPUT_OUTPUT_ENABLE`
option which configures the CLI module to log its input command
string and the resulting output. This is done in addition to emitting
the output string to the console. By default this config is enabled
on all POSIX based platforms and when `LOG_OUTPUT` is not set to use
CLI console itself.
The exit command should only exit ot-ctl itself in daemon mode. This
commit adds processing exit command in the ot-ctl.
This commit also moves the exit command implementation out from core
as a user command on simulation and posix cli mode.
This commit removes application library CLI/NCP dependency on platform
layer UART APIs. Instead, application layer provides callbacks sending
CLI/NCP data.
With this change, platforms with native support for formatted output
can simply implement the CLI output callback with something like
`vprintf()`.
The Instance::HeapCAlloc() method can not be used in constructors when
EXTERNAL_HEAP is enabled but works well when internal heap is
used. This is because the external heap methods are set by public
otHeapSetCAllocFree API after the OT instance is constructed.
This commit fixes this issue by having Instance::HeapCAlloc() using
otPlatCAlloc when EXTERNAL_HEAP is enabled. It also fixes build issues
when MULTIPLE_INSTANCE and EXTERNAL_HEAP are used together.
This commit adds a new platform function `otPlatLogLine()`. This
function is optional and if not implemented by platform layer, a
default weak implementation is provided and used by the OpenThread
core using `otPlatLog()`.The new function is used by OpenThread core
when the feature `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_LOG_DEFINE_AS_MACRO_ONLY` is not
enabled (which is the default behavior). In this case, the OT core
itself will prepare a full log line.
This commit also adds implementations of the new platform function for
the NCP and CLI modules.
This commit enables building OpenThread deb packages:
* openthread-simulation: simulation of OpenThread
* openthread-daemon: daemon of OpenThread Host
* openthread-standalone: standalone binaries of OpenThread Host
platform-utils has a dependency on the core ot library, which was
causing the build to fail. I have resolved this by making
platform-utils an 'object library', which means the object files
will always be used by the linker, preventing the 'smart linker'
errors that occur with ld and cyclic dependencies.
I also provided a static (.a) implementation of the library in case
any non-cmake project wanted to consume the results (at which point
that project can deal with the dependency as it wishes).
So now it is up to the 'platform layer' to include the 'platform utils'
objects inside its own library if it requires them. I have implemented
this for the current cmake example platforms.
Pseudo resets allow for `otPlatReset()` to reset the OpenThread state
without resetting the chip. This is important if the SoC is presenting
itself as a USB device.
The build option `OPENTHREAD_PLATFORM_USE_PSEUDO_RESET` can be used to
force this feature to be enabled or disabled by setting it to `1` or
`0` accordingly. Otherwise it will be set to a platform-specified
default value.
The existing platform.h is really a part of the examples and not a part of
OpenThread core. This commit moves the platform.h out of the public API
and into the examples directory.
