When all actions succeed control is granted, if one fail control acces is denied. -* Actions can either be: - * Invocation to an other binding API, either internal or external (eg: a policy service, Alsa UCM, ...) - * C routines from a user provider plugin (eg: policy routine, proprietary code, ...) - * Lua script function. Lua provides access to every AGL appfw functionalities and can be extended from C user provided plugins. - -## Installation - -* Controller is a native part of AGL Advance Audio Framework but may be used independently with any other service or application binder. -* Dependencies: the only dependencies are audio-common for JSON-WRAP and Filescan-utils capabilities. -* Controller relies on Lua-5.3, when not needed Lua might be removed at compilation time. - -## Monitoring - -* Default test HTML page expect monitoring HTML page to be accessible from /monitoring for this to work you should -* place monitoring HTML pages in a well known location eg: $HOME/opt/monitoring -* start your binder with the alias option e.g. afb-daemon --port=1234 --alias=/monitoring:/home/fulup/opt/afb-monitoring --ldpaths=. --workdir=. --roothttp=../htdocs - -## Controller binding configuration - -By default controller searches for a config filename with the same 'middlename' as daemon process. As an example if your process name is afb-daemon then middle name is 'daemon'. - -```bash -# Middlename is taken from process middlename. -onload-middlename-xxxxx.json +git submodule add git@github.com:iotbzh/afb-utilities ``` -You may overload config search path with environment variables - -* **AFB_BINDER_NAME**: change patern config search path. 'export AFB_BINDER_NAME=sample' will make controller to search for a configfile name 'onload-sample-xxx.json'. -* **CONTROL_CONFIG_PATH**: change default reserch path for configuration. You may provide multiple directories separated by ':'. -* **CONTROL_LUA_PATH**: same as CONTROL_CONFIG_PATH but for Lua script files. - -Example to load a config name 'onload-myconfig-test.json' do - -```bash -AFB_BINDER_NAME='myconfig' afb-daemon --verbose ...' +2) Add ctl-utilities as a static library to your binding +``` + # Library dependencies (include updates automatically) + TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${TARGET_NAME} + ctl-utilities + ... other dependencies .... + ) ``` -> **Note**: you may change search pattern for Lua script by adding 'ctlname=afb-middlename-xxx' in the metadata section of your config 'onload-*.json' - -The configuration is loaded dynamically during startup time. The controller scans **CONTROL_CONFIG_PATH** for a file corresponding to pattern -"onload-bindername-xxxxx.json". When controller runs within AAAA binder it searches for "onload-audio-xxxx.json". First file found in the path the loaded -any other files corresponding to the same path are ignored and only generate a warning. - -Each bloc in the configuration file are defined with - -* **label**: must be provided is used either for debugging or as input for the action (eg: signal name, control name, ...) -* **info**: optional used for documentation purpose only - -> **Note**: by default controller config search path is defined at compilation time, but path might be overloaded with **CONTROL_CONFIG_PATH** -> environment variable. Setenv 'CONTROL_ONLOAD_PROFILE'=xxxx to overload 'onload-default-profile' initialisation sequence. - -### Config is organised in 4 sections: - -* **metadata**: describe the configuration -* **onload**: defines the set of action to be executed at startup time -* **control**: defines the set of controls with corresponding actions -* **event**: define the set of actions to be executed when receiving a given signal - -### Metadata - -As today matadata is only used for documentation purpose. - -* **label**: mandatory -* **version**: mandatory -* **info**: optional - -### OnLoad section - -Defines startup time configuration. Onload may provide multiple initialisation profiles, each with a different label. - -* **label**: is mandatory. Label is used to select onload profile at initialisation through DispatchOneOnLoad("onload-label") API; -* **info**: is optional -* **plugin**: provides optional unique plugin name. Plugin should follow "onload-bindername-xxxxx.ctlso" pattern - and are searched into CONTROL_PLUGIN_PATH. When defined controller will execute user provided function context=**CTLP_ONLOAD(label,version,info)**. - The context returned by this routine is provided back to any C routines call later by the controller. Note that Lua2C function - are prefix in Lua script with plugin label (eg: MyPlug: in following config sample) - * **label**: mandatory - * **sharedlib**: file name of the built shared library of the provided plugin - * **lua2c**: list of Lua commands shipped with provided plugin. -* **require**: list of binding that should be initialised before the controller starts. Note that some listed requirer binding might be absent, - nevertheless any present binding from this list will be started before controller binding, missing ones generate a warning. -* **action**: the list of action to execute during loadtime. Any failure in action will prevent controller binding from starting. - -### Control section - -Defines a list of controls that are accessible through (api="control", verb="request", control="control-label"). - -* **label**: mandatory -* **info**: optional -* **permissions**: Cynara needed privileges to request this control (same as AppFw-V2) -* **action**: the list of actions - -### Event section - -Defines a list of actions to be executed on event reception. Even can do anything a controller can (change state, -send back signal, ...) eg: if a controller subscribes to vehicle speed, then speed-event may adjust master-volume to speed. - -* **label**: mandatory -* **info**: optional -* **action**: the list of actions - -### Actions Categories - -Controller support tree categories of actions. Each action return a status status where 0=success and 1=failure. - -* AppFw API, Provides a generic model to request other bindings. Requested binding can be local (eg: ALSA/UCM) or - external (eg: vehicle signalling). - * api provides requested binding API name - * verb provides verb to requested binding - * args optionally provides a jsonc object for targeted binding API. Note that 'args' are statically defined - in JSON configuration file. Controller client may also provided its own arguments from the query list. Targeted - binding receives both arguments defined in the config file and the argument provided by controller client. -* C-API, when defined in the onload section, the plugin may provide C native API with **CTLP-CAPI(apiname, label, args, query, context)**. - Plugin may also create Lua command with **CTLP-Lua2C(LuaFuncName, label, args, query, context)**. Where *args*+*query* are JSON-C object - and context the value return from **CTLP_ONLOAD** function. Any missing value is set to NULL. -* Lua-API, when compiled with Lua option, the controller support action defined directly in Lua script. During "*onload*" phase the - controller search in *CONTROL_LUA_PATH* file with pattern "onload-bindername-xxxx.lua". Any file corresponding to this pattern - is automatically loaded. Any function defined in those Lua script can be called through a controller action. Lua functions receive - three parameters (label, args, query). - -> **Note**: Lua added functions systematically prefix. AGL standard AppFw functions are prefixed with AGL: (eg: AGL:notice(), AGL_success(), ...). -> User Lua functions added though the plugin and CTLP_Lua2C are prefix with plugin label (eg: MyPlug:HelloWorld1). - -Actions is a list with the following fields: - -* **label**: mandatory -* **info**: optional -* **callback**: to specify a plugin callback -* **api**: name an api from another binding -* **verb**: name called from the other api specified with api field -* **args**: could be is a JSON object with arguments when calling a callback or an api/verb -* **lua**: map a LUA function - -### Available Application Framework Commands - -Each Lua AppFw commands should be prefixed by AFB: - -* AFB:notice ("format", arg1,... argn) LUA table are print directly as json string with '%s'. - AFB:error, AFB:warning, AFB:info, AFB:debug work on the same model. Printed message are limited to 512 characters. - -* AFB:service ('API', 'VERB', {query}, "Lua_Callback_Name", {context}) asynchronous call to an other binding. When empty query/context should be set to '{}' - and not to 'nil'. When 'nil' Lua does not send 'NULL' value but remove arguments to calling stack. WARNING:"Callback" - is the name of the callback as a string and not a pointer to the callback. (If someone as a solution to fix this, please - let me known). Callback is call as LUA "function Alsa_Get_Hal_CB (error, result, context)" where: - * error is a Boolean - * result is the full answer from AppFw (do not forget to extract response) - * context is a copy of the Lua table pas as argument (warning it's a copy not a pointer to original table) - -* error,result=AFB:servsync('API', 'VERB', {query}) Save as previous but for synchronous call. Note that Lua accept multiple - return. AFB:servsync return both the error message and the response as a Lua table. Like for AFB:service user should not - forget to extract response from result. - -* AFB:success(request, response) request is the opaque handle pass when Lua is called from (api="control", verb="docall"). - Response is a Lua table that will be return to client. - -* AFB:fail(request, response) same as for success. Note that LUA generate automatically the error code from Lua function name. - The response is transformed to a json string before being return to client. - -* EventHandle=AFB:evtmake("MyEventName") Create an event and return the handle as an opaque handle. Note that due to a limitation - of json_object this opaque handle cannot be passed as argument in a callback context. - -* AFB:subscribe(request, MyEventHandle) Subscribe a given client to previously created event. - -* AFB:evtpush (MyEventHandle, MyEventData) Push an event to every subscribed client. MyEventData is a Lua table that will be - send as a json object to corresponding clients. - -* timerHandle=AFB:timerset (MyTimer, "Timer_Test_CB", context) Initialise a timer from MyTimer Lua table. This table should contend 3 elements: - MyTimer={[l"abel"]="MyTimerName", ["delay"]=timeoutInMs, ["count"]=nBOfCycles}. Note that is count==0 then timer is cycle - infinitely. Context is a standard Lua table. This function return an opaque handle to be use to further control the timer. - -* AFB:timerclear(timerHandle) Kill an existing timer. Return an error when timer does not exit. - -* MyTimer=AFB:timerget(timerHandle) Return Label, Delay and Count of an active timer. Return an error when timerHandle does not - point on an active timer. - -> **Note**: Except for function call during binding initialisation period. Lua call are protected and should return clean message -> even when improperly used. If you find bug please report. - -### Adding Lua command from User Plugin - -User Plugin is optional and may provide either native C-action accessible directly from controller actions as defined in -JSON config file, or alternatively may provide at set of Lua commands usable inside any script (onload, control,event). A simple -plugin that provides both notice C API and Lua commands is provided as example (see ctl-plugin-sample.c). Technically a -plugin is a simple sharelibrary and any code fitting in sharelib might be used as a plugin. Developer should nevertheless -not forget that except when no-concurrency flag was at binding construction time, any binding should to be thread safe. - -A plugin must be declare with **CTLP_REGISTER**("MyCtlSamplePlugin"). This entry point defines a special structure that is check -at plugin load time by the controller. Then you have an optional init routine declare with **CTLP_ONLOAD**(label, version, info). -This init routine receives controller onload profile as selected by DispatchOnLoad("profile"). The init routine may create -a plugin context that is later one presented to every plugin API this for both LUA and native C ones. Then each: - -* C API declare with **CTLP_CAPI**(MyCFunction, label, argsJ, queryJ, context) {your code}. Where: - * MyFunction is your function - * Label is a string containing the name of your function - * ArgsJ a json_object containing the argument attach the this control in JSON config file. - * context is your C context as return from **CTLP_ONLOAD** - -* Lua API declarewith **TLP_LUA2C**(MyLuaCFunction, label, argsJ, context) {your code}. Where - * MyLuaCFunction is both the name of your C function and Lua command - * Label your function name as a string - * Args the arguments passed this time from Lua script and not from Json config file. - * Query is not provided as LuaC function are called from a script and not directly from controller action list. - -> **Warning**: Lua samples use with controller enforce strict mode. As a result every variables should be declare either as -> local or as global. Unfortunately "luac" is not smart enough to handle strict mode at build time and errors only appear -> at run time. Because of this strict mode every global variables (which include functions) should be prefix by '_'. -> Note that LUA require an initialisation value for every variables and declaring something like "local myvar" wont -> allocate "myvar" - -### Debugging Facilities - -Controller Lua script are check for syntax from CMAKE template with Luac. When needed to go further an developer API allow to -execute directly Lua command within controller context from Rest/Ws (api=control, verb=lua_doscript). DoScript API takes two -other optional arguments func=xxxx where xxxx is the function to execute within Lua script and args a JSON object to provide -input parameter. When funcname is not given by default the controller try to execute middle filename doscript-xxxx-????.lua. - -When executed from controller Lua script may use any AppFw Apis as well as any L2C user defined commands in plugin. - -### Running as Standalone Controller - -Controller is a standard binding and can then be started independently of AAAA.
