SPI interfaces and -lock, user EEPROM, radio regs, CPLD, dboard clock
control and GPIO expander can be initialized in Magnesium.__init__().
This shaves a little time off of the actual init() call and allows for
earlier failures.
Now, when claiming a device, the connection type will be stored as a
string in PeriphManagerBase. This way we can read out the current
connection type even when not currently inside an RPC call.
- Any RPC call with uncaught exceptions will result in additional
logging on MPM side
- Adds get_last_error() API call
- get_last_error() is populated by various methods within rpc_server.py,
but also from every uncaught exception
-update_fpga loads the FPGA image from the base class's update_component function
-checks if FPGA image is a bit or bin file, and converts to Zynq-compatible binfile if necessary
-update_component takes a byte array containing the data to be written,
and a dictionary containing the metadata of the component to be
updated
-The metadata must contain 'id' and 'filename'
-The metadata may contain an md5 hash ('md5')
- Number of samples for TDC measurement bumped back up to 512 (was
previously reduced because of slow sampling speed)
- Non-functional changes: Modified formatting to pacify PyLint
On the N310, there's a penalty for calling time.sleep(). This means the
polling loop was extremely slow for polling TDC updates. Now, it simply
polls as fast as possible. Note: This could hog the bus if run outside
of an initialization sequence, where no one else is using the bus.
BufferFS is a serialization format with CRC checking and optional
byte-alignment for records. It allows storing arbitrary blobs, together
with a 8-character identifier, in a contiguous buffer that supports
random access. This is suitable for storing arbitrary blobs in EEPROM,
but could also support other things.

The Magnesium daughterboards have GPIO port expanders, but both have the
same udev label. In order to specify which port expander to use, we pass
in the parent udev I2c device.
Prior to this commit, device_info was always an empty dictionary on all
dboard classes. The device_info dict is now auto-populated from the
EEPROM contents, if any were provided.
Dboard classes can still opt to amend that dictionary in specific class
implementations.

There are cases where we need to specify a parent device in order to
disambiguate GPIO devices with the same label. This lets you passing in
a parent udev device to clarify.
- Based on feedback from ADI, updated SYSREF sequencing for
meeting deterministic latency requirements.
- Changed majority of register addresses in nijesdcore.py to
constants.
- Corrected write data to SYSREF_CAPTURE_CONTROL to produce
the correct SYSREF toggle rate inside the FPGA.

An N310 device will query all its dboards for ref lock status and
return a Boolean combination as a motherboard sensors (note: the N310
does not actually have a ref_locked sensor on the motherboard, this is
mostly for backwards-compat with UHD applications that expect a
motherboard ref lock sensor).
- Motherboard sensors are automatically populated into the property
tree, they can be automatically enumerated and queried
- Daughterboard sensors have an API for querying and enumerating
sensors, but this commit does not automatically add them to the
property tree
This will enable both RevC and RevD from an MPM perspective. The
revision read back from the EEPROM is used to enable the code for either
rev.
The impact on the code is limited to the port expander GPIOs. Port
expander objects are instantiated in both the N310 MPM module as well as
the n3xx_bist executable.
When reading revision numbers from EEPROM, we now have an easy way of
checking of our version MPM is sufficient to run on the current device.
N310 implicitly makes use of this starting with this commit.
When there are no daughterboards present, clock and time source are
meaningless. It's also possible that corresponding FPGA images are not
loaded, in which case trying to set those could crash the system. Unless
daughterboards are actually present, these settings won't get applied
any more.
On the RPC server side, we keep track of which methods require a claim
token. MPM shell uses this info to automatically add claim tokens when
required.
When the GPS chip is non-functional, gpsd could simply fail to return a
value. In that case, the recv() call to the socket would hang
indefinitely. This adds a graceful failure for that case.
This makes the GPS reset go high by default (i.e., takes it out of reset
by default) and the init survey pin go high (i.e., take it out of survey
mode).
To placate fussy JSON consumers, we now avoid nested dictionaries. The
dry-run results now return a more accurate representation of the N310
system responses.
Some downstream consumers of n3xx_bist output require the error_msg key
to be in every result, even if no error occurred. The default value is
an empty string.
