# Flashers

The flasher drivers are used to flash images to DUTs via network, typically
using TFTP and HTTP. It is designed to interact with the target bootloader and
busybox shell to flash the DUT.

All flasher drivers inherit from the
`jumpstarter_driver_flashers.driver.BaseFlasher` class, referencing their own
bundle of binary artifacts necessary to flash the DUT, like kernel/initram/dtbs.
See the [bundle](#oci-bundles) section for more details.

## Installation

```{code-block} console
:substitutions:
$ pip3 install --extra-index-url {{index_url}} jumpstarter-driver-flashers
```

## Available drivers and bundles

| Driver          | Bundle                                                       |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| TIJ784S4Flasher | quay.io/jumpstarter-dev/jumpstarter-flasher-ti-j784s4:latest |


## Driver configuration
**driver**: `jumpstarter_driver_flashers.driver.${DRIVER}`

```yaml
export:
  storage:
    type: "jumpstarter_driver_flashers.driver.TIJ784S4Flasher"
    children:
      serial:
        ref: "serial"
      power:
        ref: "power"
  serial:
    type: "jumpstarter_driver_pyserial.driver.PySerial"
    config:
      url: "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_USB__-__Serial_Converter_112214101760A-if00-port0"
      baudrate: 115200
  power:
    type: jumpstarter_driver_yepkit.driver.Ykush
    config:
      serial: "YK112233"
      port: "1"
```

flasher drivers require four children drivers:

| Child Driver | Description                                                                       | Auto-created |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| serial       | To communicate with the DUT via serial and drive the bootloader and busybox shell | No           |
| power        | To power on and off the DUT                                                       | No           |
| tftp         | To serve binaries via TFTP                                                        | Yes          |
| http         | To serve the images via HTTP                                                      | Yes          |

The power driver is used to control power cycling of the DUT, and the serial
interface is used to communicate with the DUT bootloader via serial. TFTP and
HTTP servers are used to serve images to the DUT bootloader and busybox shell.

### Config parameters

## BaseFlasher API

The `BaseFlasher` class provides a set of methods to flash the DUT,
```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: jumpstarter_driver_flashers.client.BaseFlasherClient()
    :members: flash, busybox_shell, bootloader_shell, use_dtb, use_initram, use_kernel
```

## CLI

The flasher driver provides a CLI to perform flashing, access to busybox shell
and uboot.

<!--
This doesn't work with sphinx-click, so we'll just use the raw CLI
```
.. click:: jumpstarter_driver_flashers.client:BaseFlasherClient.cli
    :prog: flasher
    :nested: full
```
-->

## Examples

Flash the device with a specific image
```python
flasherclient.flash("/path/to/image.raw.xz")
```

Flash the device with a specific image from a remote URL
```python
flasherclient.flash("https://autosd.sig.centos.org/AutoSD-9/nightly/TI/auto-osbuild-j784s4evm-autosd9-qa-regular-aarch64-1716106242.66b4d866.raw.xz")
```

Flash into a specific partition
```python
flasherclient.flash("/path/to/image.raw.xz", partition="emmc")
```


## Examples of utility consoles

In addition to the flashing mechanisms, the flasher drivers also provide a way
to access the DUT bootloader and busybox shell for convenience and debugging,
when using the `busybox_shell` and `bootloader_shell` methods the embedded http
and tftp servers will be online and serving the images from the flasher bundle.

Get the busybox shell on the device
```python
with flasherclient.busybox_shell() as serial:
    serial.send("ls -la\n")
    serial.expect("#")
    print(serial.before)
```

Get the bootloader shell on the device
```python
with flasherclient.bootloader_shell() as serial:
    serial.send("version\n")
    serial.expect("=>")
    print(serial.before)
```

## oci-bundles

The flasher drivers require some artifacts and basic information about the
target device to operate. To make this easy to distribute and use, we use OCI
bundles to package the artifacts and metadata.

The bundle is a container that uses [oras](https://oras.land/) to transport the
artifacts and metadata. It is a container that contains the following:
- `manifest.yaml`: The manifest file that describes the bundle
- `data/*`: The artifacts, including kernel, initram, dtbs, etc.

## The format of the manifest is as follows:

```{literalinclude} ../../../../../packages/jumpstarter-driver-flashers/oci_bundles/test/manifest.yaml
:language: yaml
```

## Table with the spec fields of the manifest:

| Field                | Description                                                                | Default |

## Examples

An example bundle for the TI J784S4XEVM looks like this:

```{literalinclude} ../../../../../packages/jumpstarter-driver-flashers/oci_bundles/ti_j784s4xevm/manifest.yaml
:language: yaml
```
