The asia pacific region supports custom channel planning and
downlink channel request. By virtue of a mistake, this information
was missing and hence a custom channel support was not working.
Fixes issue #6783.
There had been essentially two state machines running in our stack
which was too cumbersome and was not alligned in any symmetry.
In this work we make sure that:
* There are no callbacks from the MAC layer to Stack controller layer.
* Primitives are made local to the mac layer and are presented as
read-only to the stack controller layer.
* Interrupt handling and processing is moved to the stack controller layer.
* Reception is divided into smaller units, seperating handling of Join Accept
and normal data frames. MIC gets its own unit.
* Extraction of data and MAC commands from the payload is also being done now in
its own method.
* To ensure integrity of the stack, and sanctity of the radio payload, we copy the
radio payload buffer immediately in the rx interrupt and hoist a flag that prevents
another interrupt from happening for a short while when we are processing the previous
packet.
* If an automatic uplink is on going, we do not send a TX_DONE event to application
anymore as that is logically incorrect.
* state_controller() is the central engine for the state machine. To save code space and
memory, we are not handling each and every state in the state_controller(). Some of the states
which have no processing to be done, are explicitely set.
* For all the states who need special processing, seperate methods are added.
* Class A always run to completion to IDLE and CLass C always runs to completion as RECEIVING.
Making our LoRaWAN stack thread safe. If RTOS is not present, locks
don't do anything. ScopedLock is used to automate the lock release on
context expiry.
We went through an exercise of adding band information to
any new channel being added. Default channels were looked over.
This commits duly adds missing band information to default channels.
If Lora stack is built with incorrect mbedtls settings, crypto methods
should assert and return error value. This fixes MBED_ASSERTs to
work correctly.
Now application can call connect and disconnect multiple times and resources are freed and constructed properly.
Also whole easycellular can be deleted and constructed again.
Paths such as the following were causing issues:
/tea/hottea/.
/tea/hottea/..
Unfortunately the existing structure for path lookup didn't make it very
easy to introduce proper handling in this case without duplicating the
entire skip logic for paths. So the lfs_dir_find function had to be
restructured a bit.
One odd side-effect of this is that now lfs_dir_find includes the
initial fetch operation. This kinda breaks the fetch -> op pattern of
the dir functions, but does come with a nice code size reduction.
Nanostack related files moved under 'feature/nanostack'
Common libraries moved to 'features/frameworks'
Allow FEATURE_COMMON_PAL still to be defined in the build so
that we don't break any builds.
band_t structure in phy parameters was not being filled in properly
and we were spilling over the array boundary for bands.
In addition to that two utility functions are added to perform safety
checking taking in the frequency and filling out band information plus
boundry value checks.
In LoRa TX power value 0 means the maximum allowed TX power and values >0
are limiting the allowed TX power to lower.
tx_config was incorrectly checking the power level and causing the maximum
TX power to be always used. Lora gateway can request node to use lower TX
power with LinkAdrReq MAC command.
In order to have smaller and better testable methods, instead of having a big
switch-case -style add_mac_command(), each MAC command is now separated to an
own method.
* Updates driver library to v2.3.1 (2018q1) for bugfixes and convenience functions
* Provides library in correct format (2-byte wchar_t flag) for compiling with ARMCC (#6695 uncovered by #6577)
* Reverts to using a statically-allocated packet buffer since malloc is not thread-safe (and the asserts have been turned on)
