New SSH CLI Tools

15 May 2017

After the release of a new version of the CLI Tools a few weeks ago, we are happy to announce the new SSH CLI Tools are now available on the testbed.

The IoT-LAB team has specially designed these tools to remotely control the A8 nodes from the SSH frontends or from a local machine. With the SSH CLI Tools, you’ll find interesting features such as:

  • flashing/resetting the M3 behind the A8
  • waiting for the system boot of all A8 of an experiment
  • running commands on the frontend or on the A8
  • running a script in background on the A8

You can read the documentation here.

The SSH CLI Tools source code is available on GitHub so if you find bugs or potential improvements, feel free to propose a Pull Request or open an issue.

Finally, since the SSH CLI Tools are available on PYPI, you can use them from your computer. In this case, they can be installed using pip:

sudo pip install iotlabsshcli

New features released on April, 25

26 Apr 2017

The whole FIT IoT-LAB testbed was closed on April 25th afternoon for upgrade operations.

Here is the details of the new features available from today.

Run Script

We finally release a feature we would like to provide from a long time ago. For sure, it is really convenient to be able to specify a firmware that will be flashed automatically at the experiment starting, as much as to specify a profile for the automatic monitoring setup. But we are quite sure that you may have already say to yourself: “I just miss something to launch my own script automatically after that”.

We finally had some time to integrate this feature in our Open REST API, letting the possibility to specify a script that will be run in background on the SSH frontends. You can launch this script manually at any time during your experiment or you can specify this script at experiment submission. In this last case, it will be launched automatically at experiment starting.

We made this new feature easy to use by providing it to the CLI tools. Follow this documentation to get an introduction of this feature and learn how it works.

CLI Tools 2.4.0

Version 2.4.0 of our IoT-LAB CLI tools is here, with new interesting features:

  • a script subcommand, enabling the use of the new Run Script feature explained just above
  • an update-idle and a profile-reset commands, to respectively set firmware and profile to defaults
  • a profile-load command, to update profiles
  • improvement in filtering possibilities in commands

This new version is now available on PyPI, easy to install with this command:

pip install iotlabcli --upgrade

You will also find on the module page the complete changelog.
