This function constructs a fully qualified interface name by appending
segments to a predefined base name. It simplifies and standardizes the
process of generating extended interface names in the middleware.
Introduce a D-Bus middleware module for revpi_middleware, including an
interface definition and a `BusProvider` class to handle D-Bus
communication. This forms the foundation for middleware interactions
using D-Bus.
Introduced D-Bus interfaces in `process_image` to interact with the
piControl driver. Added `InterfacePiControl` class with methods to reset
the driver and signal driver reset events. This improves driver
management and integration via D-Bus.
Introduced a new helper class `ResetDriverWatchdog`, a thread-based
watchdog to detect the `reset_driver` action. The implementation is
adapted from the revpipyload project and includes methods to
register/unregister callbacks and manage the watchdog lifecycle. This
addition improves monitoring capabilities for the process image.
All basic files for testing, building and distributing the project
are added here. The Makefile can set up the virtual environment and
create different package types from the project.
For local and automated testing of the source code, the testing
folder is added. This includes all the tests that the module has to
go through. The project also uses pytest-cov, which can also create
coverage reports.
These files create a callable Python package and manage the version
number of the complete project in the __about__.py file only. All other
parts, including Makefile, will use that version number.
