Add the ability to pack/unpack 2 new TLVs for analog beamforming
total_num_beams_vendor_ext and analog_beam_list
Add the unpack related changes for the first 2 vendor extension TLVs introduced related to beamforming.
For the moment the packing is guarded by an Assert to ensure it is not used.
Add the necessary utility function changes to support these VE TLVs
Add the necessary changes to the corresponding unitary test for pack/unpack,
commented for the moment, since the packing is disabled with an Assert.
Add a function pullx32 to pull x amount of bytes into uint32_t
Change the unpacking to pull only the needed bytes, and skip over the padding, when not Aerial
Change SRS.indication dumping function to also print the report TLV contents
Change SRS.indication unitary test to fill the last 4 byte block of the report TLV according to the length, with padding
The next commits refactor the rx handling of messages in the PNF. To
efficiently handle them, provide a "peek()" function that gives us the
frame/slot for which a message is destined. This allows to decide if a
message is on time and select a destination buffer, before unpacking it
completely, avoiding copies.
Add utility functions to print the FAPI messages contents
Add dump functions for DL_TTI.request PDUs, remaining message structures to be finished
Add file examples.md with some examples on how to use nfapi_hex_parser
Now uses RC.nb_nr_L1_inst instead of RC.nb_nr_inst in order to configure the L1, since in PNF RC.nb_nr_inst is always 0, and so, it wouldn't configure the L1
This change makes it so the fapi_nr_p7_message_pack is used to pack TX_DATA.request for Aerial, reducing the amount of repeated code.
Add the capability to pack TLVs with TAG=2 (offset from first address)
Packs the TLV.length differently according to whether or not Aerial is in use ( for Aerial TLV.length is 16-bit, for OAI is 32-bit )
Add nr_fapi_p7 library to NFAPI_USER_LIB for access to utility functions
Change message handlers to use the utility functions to copy and properly free the messages
Change the SRS handler to call the handler for the measurements instead of trying to copy to RC.gNB[0], which does not exist
Change nfapi_nr_p7_message_unpack to not allocate unneeded memory
Changed parameter in unpack function to be inline with other unpack functions.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate call to calloc to avoid dependency to NFAPI_LIB.
Added unitary test for RACH.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added constant NFAPI_NR_RACH_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
Removed now unneeded dependency to NFAPI_LIB and NFAPI_USER_LIB
Changed parameter in unpack_nr_srs_indication to void * to be inline with other unpack procedures.
Added memory allocation for pdu_list inside unpack function.
Add unitary test for SRS.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added rands16 to provide random int16_t values, needed for SRS.indication unitary test
Added constant NFAPI_NR_SRS_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
This adds the equality, free and copy functions for SRS.indication message as described in the Table 3–129 of SCF222.10.04, it does not add the functions for the report type structures, as these are always sent/received inside the uint32_t array.
The utility functions for these will be added at a later commit, and subsequently tested in the upcoming unitary test for SRS.indication.
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Apply clang-format to pack/unpack procedures.
Add comments to improve readability of iqSize usage.
Fix unpacking return value to not return 0 on success.
Renames nfapi_nr_srs_reported_symbol_t prgs into *reported_symbol_list for two reasons:
So that the name is more representative of what the parameter represents.
For it to actually be a list, and not assume only 1 reported symbol is used.
Allocate reported_symbol_list in unpack_nr_srs_beamforming_report.
Updated all references to prior prgs to point to the first position of reported_symbol_list, still only effectively using the first reported_symbol.
Rename fill_srs_reported_symbol_list into fill_srs_reported_symbol and update input parameter name, since it only fills the information related to one reported symbol
Reordered PDU pack/unpack function to follow PDU value order
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate calls to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for UCI.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Fix PUCCH Format2/3/4 value to be indexed at 0, not 2.
This is according to Table 3-66 of SCF222.10.02
Add utility functions related to UCI.indication
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Changed parameter of `unpack_nr_crc_indication` to void* to stay inline with other unpack procedures.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate call to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for CRC.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Now allocates memory for `uint8_t* cb_crc_status` before pulling in unpack procedure.
Add utility functions related to CRC.indication.
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Changed parameter of unpack_nr_rx_data_indication to void* to be inline with other unpack procedures.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate calls to calloc to avoid dependency from FAPI lib to nFAPI lib.
Add unitary test for RX_DATA.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Changes pack/unpack procedure to expect pdu_length of 32 bits instead of 16.
This change was first added for compatibility with Aerial L1.
Add utility functions related to RX_DATA.indication
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Allocate memory for TX_DATA.request TLV value pointer on tag == 1
In the past, this wasn't noticed because tag == 1 is not used
Add utility functions related to TX_DATA.request
Add extra function to calculate allocated memory
Create separate function to pack/unpack rx_beamforming PDU
Reorder PDU handling order to follow from 0 to 3
Changed PUSCH pdu_bitmap switch to separate if to handle multiple optional sub-pdus
Fix bit_len_harq size to 16 bit
Add utility functions related to UL_TTI.request
Add pack/unpack functionality for parameters
added in previous commit
Add utility functions related to DL_TTI.request,
creating 2 news files to contain these functions
Reorder switch to follow PDU Type order
This makes it so the functions are available to both FAPI and nFAPI libraries, and to more easily move them later to the FAPI library, while being available for nFAPI
Update NR P5 and P7 nFAPI headers to have 32-bit message_length
In the NR functions, this causes the header parameters following message_length to have their position shifted by 2 bytes, due to the increase in message_length size.
Change needed to accommodate SCF222.10.02 Table 3-3
Separates nfapi_p4_p5_message_header_t and nfapi_nr_p4_p5_message_header_t
Change the callbacks signature to accept/return void* intead of expecting a particular header type, being the NR/LTE distinction done inside the callback functions.
Create NR related functions for nFAPI transmit timestamp and checksum calculation.
Move nfapi_p7_codec_config_t and nfapi_p4_p5_codec_config_t to separate header to be shared between LTE and NR VNF/PNF
Move nfapi_nr_timing_info_t into NR header.
Move NR specific function declarations to NR header.
Fix Assert condition to properly check that body was packed successfully
Fix retval value when performing bitwise AND with push16
Remove commented code
Since long long is the bigger type ( 8 bytes ) of the two used ( long long and uint32_t ),
and long long is also available on ARM, change this parameter to always have this type.
This allows to always use format specifier '%lld' in the logs that use TICK_TO_US, which would otherwise return long long or uint32_t depending on architecture.
Updated links to latest available L1 documentation
Removal of unneeded environment variable in aerial_l1_entrypoint.sh
Removal of unneeded checkout command from doc
Reword Aerial Entrypoint script paragraph to separate in multiple sentences

The total_length parameter in compute_PDU_Length being uint16_t causes
the passed value to be possibly truncated, which can cause the
PDU_Length to be incorrectly calculated.
This change prevents that truncation, since it now matches the size
of the values passed into the function where it is being called.
Fix small issue noted when packing tlv value with tag 1 in which it would pack length*4 bytes, now calculated how many "segments" of 32 bits it needs to pack, same logic for unpacking tag value 1
Added missing support for packing/unpacking tag 0x001C (supportedMaxModulationOrderDl)
Now properly handles tag 0x0005 (NumConfigTLVsToReport) and subsequent TLVs that come after this value ( Table 3-9 SCF 222.10.02 )
Implement FAPI P5 message unpack, as well as message length check function procedure in FAPI P5 library.
Update check_nr_unpack_length in nfapi_p5.c to reference FAPI P5 message length check function.
Will be reused from other files in later commits.
Added packing/unpacking procedures for STOP.indication and ERROR.indication.
Separate a packing function for STOP.request for use in the NR FAPI library.
Expose needed (n)FAPI procedures to aerial_lib ( both P5 and P7 ) via a
header file.
Move (n)FAPI P7 packing/unpacking function interface into separate header file
Include needed headers in aerial_lib
