Zephyr OS Shell
|
||
###############
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
********
|
||
|
||
Zephyr OS Shell enables multiple Zephyr OS modules to use and expose their
|
||
shell interface simultaneously.
|
||
|
||
Each module can support shell functionality dynamically by its Kconfig file,
|
||
which enables or disables the shell usage for the module.
|
||
|
||
Using shell commands
|
||
********************
|
||
|
||
Use one of the following formats:
|
||
|
||
Specific module's commands
|
||
==========================
|
||
`MODULE_NAME COMMAND`
|
||
One of the available modules is “KERNEL”, for the Kernel module.
|
||
More information can be found in :c:macro:`SHELL_REGISTER`.
|
||
|
||
Help commands
|
||
=============
|
||
`help`
|
||
Prints the available modules.
|
||
`help MODULE_NAME`
|
||
Prints the names of the available commands for the module.
|
||
`help MODULE_NAME COMMAND`
|
||
Prints help for the module's command (the help should show function
|
||
goal and required parameters).
|
||
|
||
Select module commands
|
||
======================
|
||
`set_module MODULE_NAME`
|
||
Use this command when using the shell only for one module.
|
||
After entering this command, you will not need to enter module
|
||
name in further commands.
|
||
If the selected module has set a default shell prompt during its
|
||
initialization, the prompt will be changed to that one.
|
||
Otherwise, the prompt will be changed to the selected module’s name to
|
||
reflect the current module in use.
|
||
`set_module`
|
||
Clears selected module. Restores prompt as well.
|
||
|
||
Shell configuration
|
||
*******************
|
||
There are two levels of configuration: Infrastructure level and Module level.
|
||
|
||
Infrastructure level
|
||
====================
|
||
The default value for ENABLE_SHELL flag should be considered per product.
|
||
This flag enables shell services.
|
||
If it is enabled, kernel shell commands are also available for use.
|
||
See the :option:`CONFIG_ENABLE_SHELL` Kconfig options for more information.
|
||
|
||
Module level
|
||
============
|
||
Each module using shell service should add a unique flag in its Kconfig file.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
CONFIG_SAMPLE_MODULE_USE_SHELL=y
|
||
|
||
In the module’s code, the shell usage depends on this config parameter.
|
||
This module-specific flag should also depend on ENABLE_SHELL flag.
|
||
|
||
Therefore, there is one global flag, in addition to a unique flag per each
|
||
module.
|
||
The default value for ENABLE_SHELL flag should be considered per product.
|
||
|
||
Configuration steps to add shell functionality to a module
|
||
==========================================================
|
||
#. Check that ENABLE_SHELL is set to yes.
|
||
#. Add the module unique flag to its Kconfig file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Writing a shell module
|
||
**********************
|
||
In order to support shell in your module, the application must do the following:
|
||
|
||
#. Module configuration flag:
|
||
Declare a new flag in your module Kconfig file.
|
||
It should depend on `ENABLE_SHELL` flag.
|
||
|
||
#. Module registration to shell:
|
||
Add your shell identifier and register its callback functions in the
|
||
shell database using :c:macro:`SHELL_REGISTER`.
|
||
|
||
#. Optional:
|
||
:c:func:`shell_register_default_module`
|
||
|
||
:c:func:`shell_register_prompt_handler`
|
||
|
||
Usage:
|
||
In case of a sample applications as well as test environment,
|
||
user can choose to set a default module in code level.
|
||
In this case, the function shell_register_default_module should
|
||
be called after calling SHELL_REGISTER in application level.
|
||
If the function shell_register_prompt_handler was called
|
||
as well, the prompt will be changed to that one.
|
||
Otherwise, the prompt will be changed to the selected module’s
|
||
name, in order to reflect the current module in use.
|
||
|
||
Note:
|
||
Even if a default module was set in code level, it can be
|
||
overwritten by “set_module” shell command.
|
||
|
||
When to use shell_register_default_module:
|
||
|
||
* Use this command in case of using the shell only for one module.
|
||
After entering this command, no need to enter module name in further
|
||
commands.
|
||
|
||
* Use this function for shell backward compatibility.
|
||
|
||
More details on those optional functions can be found
|
||
in :ref:`shell_api_functions`.
