Replaces inline ioctl logic with the new `PiControlIoctl` class for
cleaner and reusable code. This improves readability, encapsulates
device operations, and simplifies error handling for resetting the
piControl driver.
Wrap DBus publishing and main loop execution in try-except blocks to
capture and log failures. This ensures better visibility into errors and
prevents silent failures during runtime.
This property checks if the event loop is running, enhancing code
readability and convenience. It provides an easier way to monitor the
status of the loop, which may improve debugging and control flow
handling.
This change includes the BusProvider import in the `__init__.py` file of
dbus_middleware1. It ensures the module has access to BusProvider
functionality, improving modularity and readiness for use.
Introduced a `--use-session-bus` flag to optionally use the D-Bus
session bus instead of the system bus. This allows better flexibility
for local testing and development scenarios without requiring
system-level changes. Updated related classes and functions to respect
the new flag.
Replaced hardcoded paths with configurable parameters `picontrol_device`
and `config_rsc` across multiple classes. This improves flexibility,
making the components adaptable to various environments or setups.
Updated corresponding initialization and method implementations to use
these parameters.
The ResetDriverWatchdog class was relocated from dbus_helper.py to a new
helper module, process_image_helper.py, to improve code organization
and maintainability. Updated imports in relevant files to reflect this
change.
Consolidated `REVPI_DBUS_*` constants and `extend_interface` function
into `dbus_helper.py` for better modularity and reusability. Updated
imports across modules to reflect this change.
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.
