The introduction of pretty-bar had broken the handling of
"mbed compile"'s "--stats-depth" argument. No matter what one gave
as parameter to it, the result output is just using the default 2.
Fix the logic in build_api.
LoRaMacChannelPlan class provides APIs which are not usable for
PHY layer implementations who do not support custom channel plans.
So we had some code in APIs which was explicitely using magic numbers
for the channel mask. Although it turned out to be not a bug as a layer
down we were checking for custom channel support. However, we now
check for custom channel support before going deep into PHY layer that will
make the code run faster and we have done some cosmetics to the code for
readability.
Channel mask is manipulated with inline methods
Ticker constructor calls directly target specific ticker init function. Currently there is no problem, since ticker interface initialization functions are protected against multi-calls and simply returns if not called for the first time (interface initialization can be performed only once). According to the new Thicker HAL API requirements:
The function ticker_init allows the ticker to keep counting and disables the ticker interrupt.
Disabling interrupts while some Ticker interrupts are already scheduled for sure will destroy the schedule. Ticker interface should be initialized only once and it is already done by: static void initialize(const ticker_data_t *ticker) function in /m-bed/hal/mbed_ticker_api.c file.
The features/mbedtls/targets/TARGET_STM/* files include constant needed
for the error codes returned from the MD functions.
The features/mbedtls/targets/hash_wrappers.c provides thin redirection
layer for the hardware accelerated MD implementations that rely on the
old API.
The TESTS/mbedtls/multi/main.cpp has been changed to use the new API
as its build environment does not rely on the translation unit
containing the necessary wrappers.
Regression after ChanFS update: Due to parameter changes in the f_mkfs
function, the option to use a separate block for MBR (FDISK) was turned
back on. This should be off as it conflicts with an explicit MBR when
using the MBRBlockDevice.
Default value for timer/idle thread trustzone identifier is 0, updated
it to 1 to allow threads to access secure functions when timer is secure device.
The PHY layer had a lot of duplicated code in various geographic regions.
In this commit we have tried to concentrate all common functionaliy into
one single class which LoRaPHY that provides three kind of methods:
i) Non virtual base methods which are there for upper layer use, e.g.,
providing access to driver or generic PHY layer functionality which
needs to be exposed to upper layers.
ii) Virtual methods (no hard limit on implementation) that can be overriden
in derived classes. Some PHY implementations will need that as they may
come with very peculiar channel schemes, e.g., dynamic channel schemes
in US bands.
iii) Protected methods which are only available for the derived PHYs
We have adopted a mechanism for the dervied PHYs to announce their differenmtiating
parameters in their constructors by filling up a data structure known as lora_phy_params_t
which exists at base level. Access modifier for this data structure is protected so it can only be
used by the base or derived classes, i.e., no exposure to upper layers.
For extra functionality and differentiating controls, a derived PHY can override any virual method as necessary.
In addition to that we have adopted the Mbed-OS style guide and have changed data structures and code to reflect that.
Some data structures are removed.
* Algorithm to get alternate DR is modified. Current scheme, works as multiples of 6 as EU and EU like PHYs
provide 6 datarates. We make sure that we try a datarate at least once. If nuber of join retries is a multiple
of 6, we may try multiple times on each data rate.
* Most of the PHYs with dynamic channel plans, always override the above mentioned algorithm as the rules governing
this algorithm do not hild in their case.
* band_t data structure is enhanced with lower band frequency and higher band frequency. That enables us to validate
frequency based upon the band and hence we can have a single function for all PHYs to validate frequency.
* In some PHYs, there were some extra channel masks were defined which were not being used. Hence removed.
* EIRP table corrected in some PHYs based upon spec.
* PHY functions in response to Mac commands are renamed to reflect what they exactly do.
for example accept_rx_param_setup_req() because that's what they do. they can either accept
the mac command or reject it.# Please enter the commit message for your changes.
This commit also introduces API change for disconnect(). disconnect() will
now return LORAWAN_STATUS_DEVICE_OFF for successfull disconnect.
* LoRaWANStack::handle_tx() can be called with NULL buffer when length is 0.
This commit fixes the case where user has provided NULL buffer and length
is > max_possible_size.
handle_tx() now always returns LORAWAN_STATUS_PARAMETER_INVALID if given
buffer is NULL pointer and length > 0.
General error checking is added and some asserts are added for events.
In order to reset LoRaMac's state in disconnect, we need to implement
an API which can be used to cancel all outstanding requests and reset
LoRaMac's internal state to idle.
This commit introduces LoRaMac::disconnect() which can be used for
this purpose.
Instead of initiating own timer objects we can use EventQueue::call_in() method
as we already have handle to EventQueue object.
Also setting timeout and starting timer has been combined to TimerStart method.
We now save roughly 500 bytes by removing storage of default
parameters in the loramac_params_t data structure. We use Mib to
get default values from PHY whenever needed instead.
loramac_sys_arams_t now contains only the runtime values set during operation
whenever defaults are needed we directly query the PHY layer or via Mib as the
need maybe.
Baseline is changed to use a single set of data structures that simplifies the
code in the LoRaWANStack and Mac layer. We are now following certian rules for naming
data structures.
- All structures visible outside their domain are prefixed as 'lorawan_'
- All mac structures are prefixed as 'loramac_'
- All subsystem or module strucutures carry their name in prefix, like 'mcps_'
PHY layer still have legacy camel case data structures which will be entertained
later while we will be simplifying PHY layer.
Test cases are also updated with the new data structure naming conventions.
One major difference from the previous baseline is the removal of static buffer
from mcps indication. And we do not copy data from stack buffer to rx_msg buffer.
This saves at least 512 bytes.
It may look like now that if we have received something but the user have not read
from the buffer, then the buffer will be overwritten and we will lose previous frame.
Yes, we will. But the same will happen even if we would have copied the buffer into rx_msg
because then the rx_msg gets overwritten. So we decide to abandon copying the buffer at
multiple locations. We inform the user about reception, if the user doesn't read and
the data gets overwritten, then so be it.
Channel planning was distributed over LoRaWANStack and LoRaMac previously.
We now centralize it by allocating the service to its own class.
Thus making the workflow consistent, i.e.,
Request for channel plan = Application->Interface->stack->Mac->ChannelPlan
Major change apart from adding the channel plan subsystem are the API changes
in LoRaMac class.
