INFRA - Debugger

[kshxtij]

The debugger is one of the most critical projects within Infrastructure this year. The Main design goals are ease of use (for both software and non software people) and extensability.

The original design idea we have is described below. We are aiming to move away from hardcoded configuration files in json from previous iterations in C++ to a more dynamically configured system this year. The workflow for the debugger has to roughly be:

1. Flash the STM board with the base binary
2. Launch the orchestration layer on your laptop to connect to the board.
3. Connect to the orchestration layer through either available control option (Terminal UI or Graphical UI as an extension of the mission control website)
4. Select what hardware targets are being debugged (i2c, can, temperature sensors etc).
5. Recompile the debug binary to spawn the tasks.
6. Flash the board with the new binary
7. Data is sent from the board to the debug orchestration layer which then forwards it to the UIs

⚠️ This design is subject to change and is a very high level plan as of now.
