The LMS Tools are a collection of Python scripts useful when working with LMS. I suggest using Python 3 but Python 2 should work as well for most scripts.

Installation

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-lxml python3-numpy python3-matplotlib

git clone https://github.com/lms-org/lms_tools.git
cd lms_tools
sudo ./setup.py install

Script Overview

• lms-validate.py <directory/file> - Validate an XML or LCONF file or all such files in a given directory.
• lms-flags.py <directory/file> - List all referenced flags in all given XML files.
• lms-profiler.py <file> - Analyze a profiling file generated by LMS.
• lms-create-mod.py <module_name> - Generate a skeleton for a module in the current working directory.
• lms-create-lib.py <lib_name> - Generate a skeleton for a library in the current working directory.
• lms-create-service.py <service_name> - Generate a skeleton for a service in the current working directory.
• report-device-ip.py <url> - Gather all IPv4 addresses on local network interfaces and send them via HTTP POST.
• lms-deploy <source_dir> <deploy_target> - Compile the given config repository locally for ARM and deploy it via rsync on a remote computer.

Device IP

Client

Install requirements:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install requests netifaces

Append the following line to /etc/crontab. Insert your own user name, the path to the python client script and the full URL to the php backend script.

*/3 * * * * my_user_name /path/to/script/report-device-ip.py http://example.com/device-ip-backend.php

Server

Move device-ip-backend.php to /var/www/html or a similar place to make it available on your web server. The script will persist data in a data.txt file in the same directory. Make sure PHP has write permissions in its parent directory.

Deploy Script

You need to install gcc and g++ for ARM HardFloat. On Ubuntu this is done via

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf
