Control daemon is a central place to control cameras parameters and functionality inside the AXIOM Beta Linux Operating System. Current implementation is done as systemd daemon, written in C++. Communication is done via Unix Domain sockets and flatbuffers is used to minify packages. Current endpoints to communicate with daemon are: command line interface (CLI), which allows to send commands from shell and Web Remote, a HTML UI which can be used from smartphones or tablets.

This task targets the extension of control daemon, following sub-tasks are considered:

Goals:

  • Move functionality from shell scripts in the firmware to daemon, so it can be called from unified place
  • Add further camera/image sensor parameters, besides currently implemented image sensor plain register configuration, digital and analog gain, like white balance, color matrix for output etc.
  • Implement handshake package, which would tell the Web Remote currently available modules/parameters
  • Implement additional unit tests for verification of functionality, e.g. CI builds

Prerequisites:

  • Linux experience
  • CMake
  • systemd

Language Skills:

  • C++ for control daemon

Difficulty: Medium
