REDHAWK Release Notes, Version 2.0.7

The effort in REDHAWK 2.0.7 focused on:

  • Core Framework

    • Resolving soft package dependency issue so DeviceManager resolves run time environment settings when deploying Devices and Services that have soft package dependencies.
    • Resolving issue so that during Application release, calls to the Application object no longer result in misleading errors.
    • Improving flexibility to ignore GPP threshold checks when determining if the GPP should go into a BUSY state.
    • Resolving issue where processes with spaces in the names would cause the GPP to terminate.
    • Resolving issue to allow for slow startup conditions of OmniNames service before starting OmniEvents service.
    • Resolving issue with uninitialized data structures with BulkIO and SourceSDDS that inhibited BulkIO data transfers.
    • Resolving issue with incorrect exception being thrown during allocateCapacity.
    • Resolving issue when shutting down orb from Python resources.
    • Providing a warning in the logs if a message is too large.
    • Resolving issue with the code generators so they can be run on systems with FIPS enabled.
    • Resolving issue so generated C++ FEI Devices do not leak memory when deallocating listeners. Existing Devices must be regenerated and recompiled to apply this fix.
    • Resolving a memory leak in FrontendTunerDevice::create(). Existing Devices must be recompiled to apply this fix.
    • Resolving issue so the functions returnRFInfoPkt transform all fields between types frontend::RFInfoPkt and FRONTEND::RFInfoPkt.
    • Resolving issue so BulkIO input stream calls to read() and tryread() with a sample count do not segfault when their queue contains only an empty packet with EOS set.

  • IDE

    • Providing an option in the IDE to perform a FrontEnd Device allocation in the background to aid developers who are debugging their FrontEnd Devices.
    • Adding the Eclipse “TM Terminal” in the IDE, a full-featured terminal emulator that provides full ANSI cursor control, readline, and coloring.
    • Fixing links in the IDE’s help contents so REDHAWK help now displays correctly when links within the help are selected.
    • Resolving issue so Diagram shapes no longer stack if they are part of a feedback loop.

  • Documentation

    • Adding documentation for developing a logging configuration plug-in that will be used to resolve the LOGGING_CONFIG_URI parameter during deployment of Devices, Services and Components.
    • Renaming the Generating Code section to Generating Code for Components and explaining the code generation process and what occurs in the IDE when the code is generated.
    • Updating the REDHAWK User Manual with accessibility rules for all properties. Updating the REDHAWK ICD with the description of the new “property” kind.

  • REDHAWK Enterprise Integration

    • Adding toString() method to RedhawkStruct object, ensuring the getAllocIds(RedhawkStruct s) return object is a List, and adding a helper method for retrieving allocIds called getAllocIds().
    • Updating REDHAWK Driver to properly clean up driver-registered Device Managers on shutdown.
    • Adding IDL source to appropriate Core Framework jars. Incorporated additional method to produce jar bundle with manifest built dynamically via the BnD Tools, source jar, and zip of XSDs.
    • Updating REDHAWK Java Driver and REDHAWK REST to make it easier for users to access External Properties in Waveforms.
    • Adding implementations of ConnectionManager, AllocationManager interfaces to REDHAWK Driver. Adding utility methods for programatically setting the log level of Domain, Application, Device, and Component Resources.
    • Adding REST access to Event Channel Manager functionality.
    • Updating REDHAWK Driver to have wrapper methods for retrieving state, connections, activeSRIs, and UsesPortStatistics from BULKIO objects. Updating REDHAWK REST to make connections, activeSRIs, UsesPortStatistics, and state available.
    • Adding wrapper methods to RedhawkApplication and RedhawkComponent interfaces for easier access to aware(), componentDevices(), componentProcessIds(), and componentImplementations(). REST Responses for Component and Application now display componentDevice, aware, componentProcessId, and componentImplementation information.
    • Adding ability to get and set adminState from REDHAWK Driver and REDHAWK REST. Adding ability to view usageState and operationalState from REDHAWK Driver and REDHAWK REST.
    • Adding ability to registerRemoteDomain, unregisterRemoteDomains, get device implementation information and a deviceConfiguration profile via REDHAWK Driver and REDHAWK REST.
    • Preconfiguring HTTPS and WSS in REDHAWK Enterprise Integration and adding Web Server Configuration section in REDHAWK Enterprise Integration User Guide.

Fixes

The following IDE and Core Framework fixes were completed in REDHAWK 2.0.7.

Release notes for Core Assets are available on Github (https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/) in each Core Asset repository.

Core Framework Fixes

The following Core Framework bug fixes were completed in REDHAWK 2.0.7.

  • The Python Sandbox DataSource always calculates per-packet time stamps using floating point arithmetic, avoiding truncation errors when given an integer value for the sample rate.
  • Writing to a C++ BulkIO output stream configured for complex data with real data and a list of time stamps now interprets the time stamp offsets in terms of complex samples, preserving the integrity of the time stamps.
  • On the GPP, when nic_usage is disabled, no message is generated when the usage threshold is exceeded.
  • Resolved issue so now files_available and threads are checked for GPP BUSY state.
  • Clarified logging message regarding reservations.
  • The default implementation of runTest() for Python Components and Devices throws the correct CF.TestableObject.UnknownTest error.
  • Changed run user for omniEvents to omniORB user.
  • Initialized internal data structure for managing blocking state for input Ports.
  • When nic_usage is set to 0 in the thresholds property of the GPP, the GPP will enter a BUSY state, irrespective of the overall NIC usage.
  • Thread management in the Python Component/Device base class is updated to better utilize the processor.
  • Added support to allow LOGGING_CONFIG_URI to be passed on the command line during Component deployment irrespective of whether it was defined by the Component.
  • On CentOS 7, C++ LoadableDevices no longer throw a CORBA::COMM_FAILURE exception from load() when the file cannot be loaded.
  • The severity of the log message when a C++ Device cannot connect to the IDM channel has been reduced from error to warning.

Special Resolutions

The following previously reported Known Issues have been closed in REDHAWK 2.0.7 with the following resolutions:

  • Won’t Fix

    • Struct_from_props fails during allocate_capacity in python device - This behavior is not an error.
    • Query behavior for Optional Elements in Structs - All elements in struct properties are handled as a single configuration item.
