For keep supporting external APIs with the same name (supposedly there are a larger
number of users of those APIs), BufferedSerial and ATParser are being renamed.
BufferedSerial becomes UARTSerial, will complement a future USBSerial etc.
ATParser becomes ATCmdParser.
* UARTSerial moves to /drivers
* APN_db.h is moved from platform to cellular/util/.
* Original CellularInterface is restored for backward compatability (again, supposedly there
are users of that).
* A new file, CellularBase is added which will now servce as the base class for all
upcoming drivers.
* Special restructuring for the driver has been undertaken. This makes a clear cut distinction
between an on-board or an off-board implementation.
- PPPCellularInterface is a generic network interface that works with a generic FileHandle
and PPP. A derived class is needed to pass that FileHandle.
- PPPCellularInterface provides some base functionality like network registration, AT setup,
PPP connection etc. Lower level job is delegated to the derived classes and various modem
specific APIs are provided which are supposed to be overridden.
- UARTCellularInterface is derived from PPPCellularInterface. It constructs a FileHandle and
passes it back to PPPCellularInterface as well as provides modem hangupf functionality.
In future we could proive a USBInterface that would derive from PPPCellularInterface and could
pass the FileHandle back.
- OnboardCellularInterface is derived from UARTCellularInterfae and provides hooks to
the target provided implementation of onbard_modem_api.h. An off-board modem, i.e, a modem on
a shield has to override the modem_init(), modem_power_up() etc as it cannot use
onboard_modem_api.h.
This has been an attempt to extend existing FileHandle to behave like POSIX
file descriptor for input/output resources/devices too.
This will now provide an abstract indicator/handle any arbitrary file or device
type resource. May be in future, sockets too.
In order to correctly detect availability of read/write a FileHandle, we needed
a select or poll mechanisms. We opted for poll as POSIX defines in
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html Currently,
mbed::poll() just spins and scans filehandles looking for any events we are
interested in. In future, his spinning behaviour will be replaced with
condition variables.
In retarget.cpp we have introduced an mbed::fdopen() function which is
equivalent to C fdopen(). It attaches a std stream to our FileHandle stream.
newlib-nano somehow does not seem to call isatty() so retarget doesn't work for
device type file handles. We handle this by checking ourselves in
mbed::fdopen() if we wish to attach our stream to std stream. We also turn off
buffering by C library as our stuff will be buffered already.
sigio() is also provided, matching the API of the Socket class, with a view to
future unification. As well as unblocking poll(), _poll_change calls the user
sigio callback if an event happens, i.e., when FileHandle becomes
readable/writable.
* Don't set errno when calls are successful (will slightly alleviate the problem
of errno not being thread-safe yet).
* Transfer errors returned from size() and seek() into errno.
* Fix isatty() - could never return 1 from a FileHandle.
* Use more appropriate errors than EBADF in some places (eg ENOENT for non-existant path).
As identified by @hasnainvirk, @kjbracey-arm, the FileHandle and
FileBase serve two separate functions and their integration is
limiting for certain use cases.
FileLike is actually the redundant class here, but the multiple
inheritance it provides is used as a hack by the retargeting code
to get at the FileHandle implementation bound to the FileBase name.
It may make more sense for the FileBase to inherit from FileHandle,
(with perhaps a different name), but rather than explore the
possibility, this will just restore the previous hierarchy.
