Introduction

This PR makes it possible to construct modem chat scripts and modify them at runtime.

The problem

Some commands require runtime modification, including the response to said commands.

An example is this one for setting the 1PPS configuration of a GNSS modem:

send: "$PAIR752,3,200*DA"
receive: "$PAIR001,752,0*3B"

The parameters of the commands will change at runtime, so the chat script
needs to be modifiable at runtime.

The solution

Create a template script in RAM, that is modified before being run by the modem_chat instance.

/* Initialize script */
uint8_t match[32];
uint8_t request[32];

struct modem_chat_match match = {
	.match = match,
	.match_size = 0,
	.separators = NULL,
	.separators_size = 0,
	.wildcards = false,
	.partial = false,
	.callback = NULL,
};

struct modem_chat_script_chat script_chat = {
	.request = request,
	.request_size = 0;
	.response_matches = &match,
	.response_matches_size = 1,
	.timeout = 0,
};

struct modem_chat_script script = {
	.name = "config",
	.script_chats = &script_chat,
	.script_chats_size = 1,
	.abort_matches = NULL,
	.abort_matches_size = 0,
	.callback = NULL,
	.timeout = 1,
};

/* Modify script */
int ret = snprintk(match, sizeof(match), "$PAIR752,%u,%u*DA", 3, 200);
match.match_size = ret;
ret = snprintk(request, sizeof(request), "$PAIR001,%03u,0*3B", 752);
script_chat.request_size = ret;

/* Run script */
modem_chat_run_script(&chat, &stack_script);

Additional features

This PR also adds a function to synchronously run a chat script, and updates the naming scheme of the modem_chat module to clearly distinguish between the sync and async variant of the modem_chat_run_script() function, modem_chat_run_script_async().

@bjarki-trackunit bjarki-trackunit force-pushed the feature_add_sync_funcs_to_modem_chat branch from 418bc46 to 7f4c703 Compare September 15, 2023 12:35
This commit adds one new feature, modem_chat_run_script(),
which synchronously runs a script.

The existing function modem_chat_script_run() is async,
and doesn't follow the naming convention created for the
other modem modules, specifically, all functions are sync,
unless appended with _async.

To preserve backwards compatibility, the existing function
modem_chat_script_run() will remain until deprecated. It
simply calls modem_chat_run_script_async().

This commit optimizes the performance of the script chats by
storing the size of requests with the chat script chat, negating
the need to use strlen() within the modem_chat module every time
a chat script chat request is sent.

This commit removes const declarations for members
inside structures used for chat scripts to allow for
modifying them at runtime.

Macros like MODEM_CHAT_SCRIPT_DEFINE() cover the
whole struct when declaring them const, ensuring
they remain placed in ROM.
