ekfsm 1.9.0a47
The EKF System Management Library (ekfsm) is a sensor monitoring suite for Compact PCI Serial devices.
Requires Python: >=3.10

# 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:

```bash
cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0074/channel-0/
echo 24c02 0x55 >new_device
```

Now we can access the EEPROM contents:

```bash
hd 8-0055/eeprom
00000000  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
*
00000100
```


## 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`):

```bash
$ python -m venv myvenv
$ source myvenv/bin/activate
```

### Package install

Now install the ekfsm package and all dependencies from the [project pypi registry](https://gitlab.ekf.com/libs/apis/ekfsm/-/packages):

```bash
(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:

```yaml
# 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:
```python
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](https://ekfsm.readthedocs.io/en/main/reference/index.html).

### 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.
