ESROGUE-699 - Support (u)int8 and (u)int16 Block numpy array access

Author:	Ryan Herbst [email protected]
Date:	Tue Apr 8 14:14:40 2025 -0700
Pull:	#1049 (257 additions, 134 deletions, 4 files changed)
Branch:	slaclab/block-int8-16
Labels:	enhancement

Notes:

Description

This change allows Block.set() to be called with uint8, uint16, int8 and int16 numpy arrays.
Previously only 32 and 64 bit integer arrays were supported.

It also changes Block.get() to return a numpy array with a type that is sized to the underlying Variable.valueBits size.

valueBits	numpy type
1-8	(u)int8
9-16	(u)int16
17-32	(u)int32

Issues:	#1055

Notes:

Description

Previously, when setting an array Variable from YAML, it had to contain a complete list of all array values.

 ArrayVariable: '[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]'

Now the array can be configured sparsely by specifying a set of index/value pairs for the array

ArrrayVariable: 
  0: 100
  10: 200
  31: 300

updating UdpRssiPack to updating the RSSI configuration before the RSSI connection is started

Branch:	slaclab/ESROGUE-692-diff-approach
Jira:	https://jira.slac.stanford.edu/issues/ESROGUE-692-diff-approach
Labels:	enhancement

Notes:

Description

• Give the user the ability to tune the RSSI configuration before the RSSI connection is started
• This is useful for debugging or supporting up to 256 segments at start of a connection for a "long latency" connection.

Example

            # Create the ETH interface @ IP Address = ip
            self.rudp[i] = pr.protocols.UdpRssiPack(
                name    = f'SwRudpClient[{i}]',
                host    = ip,
                port    = 8192+i,
                packVer = 2,
                jumbo   = False,
                defaults={'locMaxCumAck': 1}, # your custom override
            )

Create helper class for setting up a remote command memory bridge

Pull:	#1047 (260 additions, 2 deletions, 6 files changed)

Labels:	enhancement

Notes:

This PR creates the OsCommandMemorySlave class which enables the creation of remote operating system based transactions over a memory interface.

Examples of its usage are included here in the examples/_OsMemSlave and associated examples/_OsMemMaster classes.

Translation between the bytes transferred over the memory interface and real python variables used in the operating system classes are handled using the Model class similar to their usage in Remote Variables.

Use a better compare for DataReceiver.RxEnable

Pull:	#1034 (1 additions, 1 deletions, 1 files changed)
Branch:	slaclab/bool-fix

Notes:

Description

This fixes a quirk where setting DataReceiver.RxEnable.set(0) would enable frame reception. RxEnable expects a boolean, but will accept an type and then exhibit this behavior. The key is to compare not RxEnable.value() instead of RxEnable.value() is False.

ESROGUE-684 - Frame.getNumpy now allows user defined data type

Author:	Ryan Herbst [email protected]
Date:	Wed Dec 4 20:15:23 2024 -0800
Pull:	#1027 (92 additions, 11 deletions, 2 files changed)
Branch:	slaclab/get-numpy

Notes:

Description

Changes to Frame.getNumpy()

The Frame.getNumpy() method now takes an additional dtype argument, which allows a numpy type to be specified for the returned array.

array = frame.getNumpy(0, frame.getPayload(), np.uint32)

Additionally, the getNumpy() method now has default arguments for all parameters

offset = 0
count = 0, 
dtype = np.uint8

Allowing for calls such as

# Read the entire frame into a np.uint8 array
array = frame.getNumpy()

# Read the entire frame into a np.uint32 array
array = frame.getNumpy(dtype=np.uint32)

The count argument defaults to 0, which functionally will return the entire array starting at offset.

The offset and count parameters are still specified in bytes, not in the dtype size.

Other changes

The offset argument of Frame.readPy() and Frame.writePy() has also been given a default of 0 when called from python.

A new Frame.getBa() method has been added that will allocate the bytearray internally and return it. This makes things a bit more concise in python when reading from a Frame.

# New
ba = frame.getBa() # Create a bytearray, fill it, and return it

#Old
ba = bytearray(frame.getPayload())
frame.read(ba)

The getBa() method takes an offset and count which function the same as in getNumpy() with the same defaults.

Also, a new Frame.getMemoryview() method has been added that allocates a bytearray but returns it as a memoryview. This allows for efficient slicing of the frame data without any copying. In most cases where copyless slicing is needed, a getNumpy() would be preferred, but getMemoryview() is useful for efficiently parsing complex header structures.

memory_view = frame.getMemoryview()

# Parse the header (4 bytes), length (2 bytes), and checksum (2 bytes)
header, length, checksum = struct.unpack_from('IHH', memory_view, 0)

Branch:	slaclab/ESROGUE-683
Jira:	https://jira.slac.stanford.edu/issues/ESROGUE-683
Labels:	enhancement

Notes:

This PR improves the variable update performance by making the following changes:

• Do not always check for the existence of a thread specific UpdateTracker object in the tracking list. This check requires an expensive dictionary lookup which previously occurred within a lock context. Instead the access is called as if the entry exists and if this is a new thread the resulting exception is caught and the object is then created inside the necessary lock. This change occurs in both the entry into the updateGroup context and more importantly in the _queueUpdates call.

• Take advantage of the fact that each UpdateTrack instance is per thread and remove any locking around the update of this object.

• In the check() call in the UpdateTrack first check the context counter and update period. This check is not expensive as compared to checking the variable list length, which now only occurs when the count and period tests pass.

• Change the variable listener processing to only occur when the update worker processes the list. In the previous version, every listener for a variable was added with each set or get call which was not necessary. In the new code the listeners are first added to the existing update list before the update calls are made.

ESROGUE-682 - Make Block.set() with numpy array work with proper array strides

Notes:

Description

Previously the Block.setUIntPy() and related methods assumes a contiguous array. This would break with calls such as

arr = np.array([0,1,2,3,4,5])
var.set(np.arr[::2])

All of the underlying set() methods have been updated to properly iterate the numpy array.
