bplib shell command for configuration

Available Subcommands

The bplib shell command currently provides the following subcommands.

The shell command is only intended as a helper for an existing implementation, an app with only the shell command will not be functional due to missing CLA initialization and missing egress of received bundles.

General information:

• A <channel> is an int in [0, BPLIB_MAX_NUM_CHANNELS)
• A <contact> is an int in [0, BPLIB_MAX_NUM_CONTACTS)

Subcommand: send <channel> <PAYLOAD>

Ingresses a bundle with the given string payload over the given channel.

Subcommand: channel <channel> [<new_state>]

Either prints the current state of the given channel when new_state is not given, or tries to transition to the new_state.

The new_state is one of "setup", "start", "stop" and "teardown".

Subcommand: contact <contact> [<new_state>]

Either prints the current state of the given contact when new_state is not given, or tries to transition to the new_state.

The new_state is one of "add", "start", "stop" and "remove".

Future efforts / Not yet implemented

• Configuration of NC, including but not limited to:
  • Channel Configuration: e.g. which blocks to include, which CRC to use
  • Contact Configuration: e.g. which remote to send to
• Configuration of general values, many of which are currently compile time constants. That would include for example the local EID.
