Shell - RED Brick

This is the description of the Shell API bindings for the RED Brick. General information and technical specifications for the RED Brick are summarized in its hardware description.

An installation guide for the Shell API bindings is part of their general description.

API

Possible exit codes for all tinkerforge commands are:

  • 1: interrupted (ctrl+c)
  • 2: syntax error
  • 21: Python 2.5 or newer is required
  • 22: Python argparse module is missing
  • 23: socket error
  • 24: other exception
  • 25: invalid placeholder in format string
  • 26: authentication error
  • 201: timeout occurred
  • 209: invalid argument value
  • 210: function is not supported
  • 211: unknown error

Note

The API documentation for the RED Brick is currently incomplete.

The RED Brick API is meant to be used by the Brick Viewer to implement the offered functionality (getting status information, managing programs etc.). Normal users will not need to use this API, it may only be interesting for power users.

FIXME: explain sessions

The RED Brick API operates on reference counted objects (strings, lists, files, directories, processes and programs) that are identified by their 16bit object ID. Functions that allocate or return an object ID (e.g. allocate-string and get-next-directory-entry) increase the reference count of the returned object. If the object is no longer needed then release-object has to be called to decrease the reference count of the object again. In contrast to allocation and getter functions, the reference count for an object returned by a callback is not increased and release-object must not be called for such an object in response to a callback.

There are functions (e.g. get-file-info) that only return valid objects under certain conditions. This conditions are documented for the specific functions. For invalid objects release-object must not be called.

There are also function (e.g. set-program-stdio-redirection) that have conditionally unused object parameters. Under which conditions an object parameter is unused is documented for the specific functions. For unused object parameters 0 has to be passed as object ID.

The RED Brick API is more complex then the typical Brick API and requires more elaborate error reporting than the TCP/IP protocol can provide with its 2bit error code. Therefore, almost all functions of the RED Brick API return an 8bit error code. Possible error codes are:

  • Success = 0
  • UnknownError = 1
  • InvalidOperation = 2
  • OperationAborted = 3
  • InternalError = 4
  • UnknownSessionID = 5
  • NoFreeSessionID = 6
  • UnknownObjectID = 7
  • NoFreeObjectID = 8
  • ObjectIsLocked = 9
  • NoMoreData = 10
  • WrongListItemType = 11
  • ProgramIsPurged = 12
  • InvalidParameter = 128 (EINVAL)
  • NoFreeMemory = 129 (ENOMEM)
  • NoFreeSpace = 130 (ENOSPC)
  • AccessDenied = 131 (EACCES)
  • AlreadyExists = 132 (EEXIST)
  • DoesNotExist = 133 (ENOENT)
  • Interrupted = 134 (EINTR)
  • IsDirectory = 135 (EISDIR)
  • NotADirectory = 136 (ENOTDIR)
  • WouldBlock = 137 (EWOULDBLOCK)
  • Overflow = 138 (EOVERFLOW)
  • BadFileDescriptor = 139 (EBADF)
  • OutOfRange = 140 (ERANGE)
  • NameTooLong = 141 (ENAMETOOLONG)
  • InvalidSeek = 142 (ESPIPE)
  • NotSupported = 143 (ENOTSUP)
  • TooManyOpenFiles = 144 (EMFILE)

If a function returns an error code other than Success then its other return values (if any) are invalid and must not be used.

The error code InvalidOperation is returned if the requested operation cannot be performed because the current state of the object does not allow it. For example, trying to append an item to a full list object or trying to undefine an already undefined program.

The error code NotSupported is returned if the requested operation can never be performed. For example, trying to append a list object to itself, trying to get the name of a file object with type Pipe or trying to create a directory non-recursively with more than the last part of the directory name referring to non-existing directories.

String objects store UTF-8 encoded data.

Command Structure

The common options of the call and dispatch commands are documented here. The specific command structure is shown below.

tinkerforge call red-brick [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]
Parameters:
  • <uid> – Type: String
  • <function> – Type: String

The call command is used to call a function of the RED Brick. It can take several options:

  • --help shows help for the specific call command and exits
  • --list-functions shows a list of known functions of the RED Brick and exits
tinkerforge dispatch red-brick [<option>..] <uid> <callback>
Parameters:
  • <uid> – Type: String
  • <callback> – Type: String

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the RED Brick. It can take several options:

  • --help shows help for the specific dispatch command and exits
  • --list-callbacks shows a list of known callbacks of the RED Brick and exits
tinkerforge call red-brick <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]
Parameters:
  • <uid> – Type: String
  • <function> – Type: String

The <function> to be called can take different options depending of its kind. All functions can take the following options:

  • --help shows help for the specific function and exits

Getter functions can take the following options:

  • --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Setter functions can take the following options:

  • --expect-response requests response and waits for it

The --expect-response option for setter functions allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of setters as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this option is not given for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

tinkerforge dispatch red-brick <uid> <callback> [<option>..]
Parameters:
  • <uid> – Type: String
  • <callback> – Type: String

The <callback> to be dispatched can take several options:

  • --help shows help for the specific callback and exits
  • --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

  • Truncate = 0x0080 (O_TRUNC)
  • Temporary = 0x0100
  • Replace = 0x0200

  • UserRead = 00400
  • UserWrite = 00200
  • UserExecute = 00100
  • GroupRead = 00040

  • Stopped = 5

The timestamp represents the UNIX time since when the process is in its current state.

The exit code is only valid if the state is Error, Exited, Killed or Stopped and has different meanings depending on the state:

  • Error: error code for error occurred while spawning the process (see below)
  • Exited: exit status of the process
  • Killed: UNIX signal number used to kill the process
  • Stopped: UNIX signal number used to stop the process

Possible exit/error codes in Error state are:

  • InternalError = 125
  • CannotExecute = 126
  • DoesNotExist = 127

The CannotExecute error can be caused by the executable being opened for writing.

Callbacks

Callbacks can be used to receive time critical or recurring data from the device:

tinkerforge dispatch red-brick <uid> example

The available callbacks are described below.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.
