philip-pal2

The PHiLIP (Primitive Hardware In the Loop Integration Product) PAL (Protocol Abstraction Layer)

Description

The application layer based on the mm_pal for PHiLIP. Providing helpers and connection details specifically for PHiLIP.

PHiLIP PAL Installation

As this is both a python library (Phil interface) and application (philip-cli) you may or may not want to install in a virtual environment.

Generally, a simple pip installation should work:

pip install philip-pal2

Logging on to PHiLIP CLI

First connect PHiLIP to the computer so a serial port connection is available.

To log into PHiLIP run:

philip-cli

Running single PHiLIP commands

Besides the full PHiLIP PAL Shell there is also CLI mode for simple one-shot access to PHiLIP interface functions. It allows to reset the PHiLIP MCU and the connected DUT.

After connecting PHiLIP simply run python3 -m philip_pal --help to get the following full usage description:

usage: python3 -m philip_pal [-h] [--verbose] [--dut_reset] [--reset] [port]

positional arguments:
  port         PHiLIP serial port

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  --verbose    Enable more output
  --dut_reset  Reset device-under-test (DUT)
  --reset      Reset PHiLIP MCU

To get output use --verbose, otherwise commands will silently be executed.
