Overview
This document lists the various tools for working with uwar files and related data. An example .uwar file is hosted on this machine that you can use to test with. All outputs on this page are from this file: example.uwar.
central
- msp/src/ipc/central.c
- linux download (xscale)
- linux download (x86)
- windows download
central is the server for the IPC (Inter Process Communications) package developed by Reid Simmons. IPC provides a simple means of communicating between applications on the same computer and other machines via TCP/IP. Central is used by the msb-server and several other applications to share information. More information about IPC can be found at the projects homepage.
usage
Typical Usage
-
Spawn central and send it to the background
central -u &
Note, that only 1 copy of central can be run at one time. If you want to run multiple central's (see the -p argument below) or access central running on another machine you will need to export the CENTRALHOST variable: <bash># If you want to use another port export CENTRALHOST=localhost:1234
- If you want to connect to another machine
export CENTRALHOST=othermachine </bash>
Available Commands
-
Various debugging/logging capabilities are also available if necessary. Remember to have a process cat the .log file that central creates.
The following are central commands: help: print this message display: display the active and pending messages status: display the known modules and their status memory: display total memory usage close <module>: close a connection to a module unlock <resource>: unlock a locked resource The following command line options can also be used as commands: -v: display server version information -l<option>: logging onto terminal. Options are: m (message traffic) s (status of IPC) t (time messages are received by central) d (data associated with messages) i (ignore logging certain internal messages) h (handle time summary of incoming messages) r (log the reference ID as well as the message name) p (log the reference ID of the message’s parent) x (no logging) -l (no options) is equivalent to -lmstdh; the default is –lmsi -L<option>: logging into file. Options are the same as above, with the addition of F (don’t flush file after each line) n (don’t prompt user for comments) The default is –Lx -f<filename>: filename to use for logging; If not specified, name is automatically generated. -p<port>: connect to central server on this port number. -c: Use direct (not via central) connections when possible -I<msgName>: Ignore logging this message (can occur multiple times). -I<filename>: File with names of messages to ignore logging -s: silent running; don’t print anything to terminal. -u: don’t run the user (tty) interface. -r: try resending non-completed messages when modules crash and then reconnect.
example output
-
central typically does not output anything to the console unless an error occurs.
msb-server
- msp/src/msb/msb-main.c
- linux download (xscale)
- linux download (x86)
- currently not available for windows
The msb-server is a program which interfaces with the MSB via the serial port and handles logging of uwar files and transmission of the sensor data over IPC and other shared memory mechanisms. msb-server was written by Dirk Hähnel of Intel Research Seattle.
usage
Typical Usage
msb-server -ini msb.ini
where msb.ini will typically contain:
#Desktops should use the USB device #SERIAL_DEVICE /dev/ttyUSB1 #the iMote2 uses ttyS0 only SERIAL_DEVICE /dev/ttyS0 BAUD_RATE 921600 HARDWARE_FLOW_CONTROL 0 SOFTWARE_FLOW_CONTROL 0 USE_RTC 1 SCHEDULE_INTERRUPT_COUNT 5120 SCHEDULE_MIC 8192 SCHEDULE_ACCELEROMETER 5120 SCHEDULE_AMB_LIGHT 2560 SCHEDULE_BAROMETER 71 SCHEDULE_DALS 30 SCHEDULE_HUMIDITY 10 SCHEDULE_POWER 0 MIC_GAIN 64 LOG_FILE test.uwar LOG_START 1
Available Commands
-
In addition the msb-server also supports the following switch commands:
-ipc-publish-data publish the converted data via IPC -ipc-publish-raw publish the raw sensor data via IPC -ipc-publish-stream stream serial data via ipc -shm-publish-stream stream serial data via shared memory -ipc-publish-mic publish microphone packets -sync-rtc -show-rtc -set-rtc -use-rtc -log specify a file to log data to, see -max-size and -max-time for log rotation settings -log-type specify the type of data to log: uwar serial data is stored as packets in a uwar file stream serial data is written directly to a file -max-size maximum size of the uwar file before rotating the log file (in kilobytes) -max-time maximum time between file rotations
example output
-
Typically the msb-server will output something similar to the following. Where the final recieved stats will continue until the program is terminated or an error occurs.

uwar_cat
- msp/src/fileio/uwar-cat.c
- linux download (x86)
- windows download (does not support shared memory streaming)
uwar_cat is a program to extract data from uwar files and dump them in a human readable format. The output format is something of the form:
SENSORA TIMESTAMP DATA ... SENSORB TIMESTAMP DATA ... SENSORC TIMESTAMP DATA ...
If you want to retrieve data from a specific sensor you can use the grep command.
Windows users: You can download a win32 version of grep from the gnuwin32 webpage. You will also need to grab some additional libraries or you can try this zipped version which should contain all the necessary libraries. Simply extract the zip to your Windows\system32 directory.
usage
uwar_cat <filename>

uwar-info
- msp/src/fileio/uwar-info.c
- linux download (x86)
- windows download
uwar_info will display the meta data stored in the uwar file. This information can be useful in determining what streams are inside a uwar file and what settings might be in use, for example you can retrieve the schedule and the calibration data from the sensor boards with this command.
usage
uwar_info <filename>

uwar_msb_dump
- msp/src/fileio/uwar_msb_dump.c (not yet committed to CVS)
- linux download (x86)
- windows download
uwar_msb_dump is a program to dump the raw serial packets stored inside the uwar file to a single binary output file. This is useful for debugging problems with the MSB itself and analyzing the packets received by the msb-server.
usage
uwar_msb_dump <input_uwar_filename> <output_binary_file>
example output
uwar_msb_dump example.uwar example.bin # INFO: open file example.uwar # INFO: Output file example.bin # INFO: read UWAR v2 header # INFO: read UWAR v2 data
uwar-clean
- msp/src/fileio/uwar-clean.c (not yet committed to CVS)
- linux download (x86)
- windows download
uwar_clean removes corrupted packets from a .uwar file and stores the cleaned stream in a new file. Note, this program is based off of uwar-info so any file uwar-info can process it should be able to handle. It does NOT clean bad data inside a valid uwar packet.
usage
uwar_clean <input_uwar_filename> <output_cleaned_uwar_filename>
Note: Be careful not to specify the same input/output name as this will immediately erase your file. Remember if you say something like 'uwar_clean myVeryImportantData.uwar ./myVeryImportantData.uwar' you will likely lose your data!

The cleaned file should now show no corrupt packets:
