The features of the Torizon IDE Backend that are used to implement the functionality of the Torizon extensions for Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio Code can be accessed using a command-line interface (CLI).
This interface makes available most of the functions exposed via REST API in a way that is easy to integrate into scripts used for tests or automated builds.
The source code of the IDE backend and command-line interface (CLI) is open source, available on github.com/toradex/moses. The IDE backend name is Moses. The CLI tool is named tdskt.
This article complies to the Typographic Conventions for the Toradex Documentation.
While this article is useful for anyone doing development with the Visual Studio Extension For Torizon and the Visual Studio Code Extension for Torizon, it is most useful for those interested in setting up a CI/CD environment.
Development in an IDE usually happens in an iterative way. The developers change, deploy and debug the code until they are happy with the results. Our IDE extensions are designed to support this approach and the usage of an interactive debugger.
At some point, usually after the experimentation and prototyping phase, code is moved into production, and CI/CD tools are used to build, test, and release it.
Using the IDE backend CLI in this scenario makes sense because you:
Usually, building in a CI setup happens by invoking a script or defining a sequence of operations. For a Torizon application, developers can use the IDE built-in project system of Visual Studio 2019 (via ms-build) or execute build tools directly (in VS Code, depending on the language used).
For C/C++ applications, tdskt can be used to start the SDK container with the toolchain required to build the code.
When the application is ready to be shipped, its binaries can be copied to the /work subfolder of the application configuration directory. This operation is automated in the IDE extensions, but can be done using:
dotnet publish for .NET apps.rsync for Python apps.At this point, the IDE backend command-line interface (CLI) can be used to:
We want to know more about your needs. If you are interested in a reference implementation of a CI/CD pipeline with the IDE backend CLI, let us know in the Toradex Community. Our decisions are driven by customer feedback, and you can help us understand what do you need.
The command-line interface is part of the IDE-backend and it is automatically installed when the VS2019 or VS Code extensions are installed.
For VS Code:
- Extensions are installed under $HOME/.vscode/extension by default. This may be different if you use an insiders build or if you pass the --extensions-dir parameter when starting VS Code.
- The extension folder is named toradex.torizon+<version> where the version part depends on the type (stable vs early access) and release of the extension.
- The executables are found inside the extension directory. The folder is named moses-linux with the executables of the backend moses and CLI tool tdskt.
For VS 2019:
- The extension will be installed under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<visual studio version>\Extensions\Toradex\Toradex Torizon C\C++ Support\<extension version>
- Inside this Folder you'll find a folder named Server
- The executables are found inside the extension directory. The folder is named moses-windows and the executables are moses.exe for the backend and tdskt.exe for the CLI tool.
Launching the tool with no arguments shows the available commands:
$ ./tdskt
usage: tdskt [-h] [-p] [-b BACKEND] {devices,device,eulas,eula,platforms,platform,application,detect,create,load,pull,enableemulation,version,dockerversion} ...
On windows the executable name is tdskt.exe, this is the only difference between the Linux and Windows versions of the tool, so in the following samples we will use the Linux file name, but parameters and output will match those of the Windows release.
$ ./tdskt.exe
usage: tdskt [-h] [-p] [-b BACKEND] {devices,device,eulas,eula,platforms,platform,application,detect,create,load,pull,enableemulation,version,dockerversion} ...
To better understand the meaning of some of those commands and related objects, please refer to the Torizon IDE Backend Architecture and Internals documentation.
Before attempting to run commands you need to start the ide-backend main executable (moses or Linux, moses.exe on Windows) and keep it running in the background.
By default, the command line interface tries to connect to a running instance of the IDE backend on port 5000. You can pass a different host:port combination using the --backend command line parameter.
Some long-running commands (ex: building or deploying an application) return progress information. By default, this information is not printed on the console to keep the output simple for people parsing that in their scripts, but it can be enabled by passing the -p command-line option before the selected command.
Devices are identified using their unique ID (serial number for Toradex devices) and they can be used only after they have been detected by the back-end. Detecting a new device means collecting information about it, but also configuring some services in a way that will allow the ide-backend to operate with the device in an automated way.
The detect subcommand may be used to detect a new device or refresh a device configuration after an OS-reinstall.
$ ./tdskt detect ✔
usage: tdskt detect [-h] [--network] [--uart] target username password
tdskt detect: error: the following arguments are required: target, username, password
A device can be detected using the console on its serial port or via SSH. After first detection all the communication with the device will happen via ssh. To detect a device using serial port you need to specify the --uart command line switch and provide a name of the local port used for connection and the credential of a user that is part of the "sudoers" group.
For example, to detect a device on Windows using the default credentials you can use:
$ ./tdskt detect --uart COM1: torizon torizon
Attepting to detect serial device, this may take a couple of minutes, after detection the device will reboot.
Check that your device is powered on an connected to your PC via serial/USB cable.
At the end of detection your device will reboot.
On Linux (notice that serial ports are referenced in a different way):
$ ./tdskt detect --uart /dev/ttyUSB1 torizon torizon
Attepting to detect serial device, this may take a couple of minutes, after detection the device will reboot.
Check that your device is powered on an connected to your PC via serial/USB cable.
At the end of detection your device will reboot.
If detection is successful, some information is shown:
Device successfully detected.

The info command works by reading information stored on the local machine, so it can't be used to check if a device is actually online.
The ide-backend can be used also to get some realtime information from the device. To be able to collect this kind of information the device must be turned on and connected to the network.
If you want to have a list of the processes currently running on a device you can use the "ps" subcommand:
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 ps ✔

You can (re)start and stop containers using the "start" and "stop" commands. If a container is in the running state you can use the "ps", "mem" and "storage" commands, as described in the above chapter, to retrieve information that is specific for the container:
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 container b648801cc191f448d140220fee93c8e16958da8f1d9b3183bf0c11df4ee2ff40 ps

To get process information the container must have the "ps" tool installed (on debian it's part of the procps package), if it's not installed you will get an empty list.
The "logs" subcommand can be used to collect a container's logs (if the container is still running the output will be updated in sync with output on the container's console):
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 container b648801cc191f448d140220fee93c8e16958da8f1d9b3183bf0c11df4ee2ff40 logs 2 ↵

If you are running the command-line interface inside a container, it may not be able to resolve the device hostname to a valid ip. To overcome this issue, if you have the backend running on the host system, you can query the device ip:
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 ip
192.168.1.128
to allow the backend to connect securely over SSH without using a password a set of private/public keys is generated during device detect and the public key is configured to let the configured user access via ssh. If you need to estabilish an ssh connection you may need the key. Its path can be returned by the "key" subcommand:
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 key ✔
/home/myuser/.moses/devices/06827787/id_rsa
If you need to activate an ssh connection to the remote device to run some commands etc. you may use this command:
$ ssh -i $(./tdskt device 06827787 key) torizon@$(./tdskt device 06827787 ip) ls / -la 1 ↵

The "sync" subcommand allows you to synchronize a source folder on your machine with a destination folder on the device. This synchronization is performed using rsync and so it's quite efficent, transferring only new or modified files.
For example, this command synchronizes the contents of current directory to a folder named /home/torizon/dummy on the target device:
./tdskt device 06827787 sync $(pwd)/platforms /home/torizon/dummy
Platforms are used to define an application type. This includes an architecture (arm32 or arm64) a base distribution (usually debian) and additional runtimes required to run the user's app (for example Python or Qt). Custom platforms can be defined by users and stored in the .moses/platform directory inside the user's home folder. Platforms can't be modified using the API.
The "platforms" command lists all the available platforms on your system:
$ ./tdskt platforms ✔

EULAs (End User License Agreement) are connected to some platforms that may include proprietary code that requires an additional license (for example for the GPU drivers of imx8-based devices). If the user does not accept the license those platform can't be used to build, deploy and run application. Since accepting EULAs in a non-interactive environment may be problematic, the command line interface provides a way to do this from you automation scripts.
You can list available EULAs with the "eulas" command:
$ ./tdskt eulas

$ ./tdskt eula nxp-la-opt-v5 setprop accepted true
Application objects store the information required to build, deploy and run containers. Application information is usually stored together with the user's application code and it's used by the IDE extensions to deploy, run and debug it on the target device. This information may be stored in a git repository together with the application code. The configuration files are stored in a folder named appconfig_* (the directories are numbered since you may store multiple configurations for the same codebase). A folder named "work" is created inside this directory during some operations, this folder should not be added to source repositories.
To create a new application object you can use the "create" command, providing a valid platform id and a directory where the appconfig_* subfolder will be created. The command returns an application id that could be used to reference the application in subsequent commands.
./tdskt create arm32v7-debian-no-ssh_bullseye $(pwd)/dummy ✔
ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986
When the backend start it can't load any application object. Those are stored together with code and their filesystem location is not known so, if you need to work on an application configuration that you created in a past session you have to load it first.
This can be done using the "load" command:
$ ./tdskt load $(pwd)/dummy/appconfig_0 (-127) ↵

An application object has two configuration: debug and release. This is required by the fact that debugging an application may require additional tools inside the container (typically a debugger client) and those may need to expose additional ports or enable other services like SSH. Shipping such a container to production can be a security problem and will use more resources than those actually needed by the user's application. That's why two configuration make sense for many kinds of applications.
The first step you need to perform to be able to run your application on a device is building it. Build will happen on the local machine, using docker. To build your application you can use the "build" subcommand and select the configuration (debug/release) that you want to build (passing -p will enable progress information and return some information about what's happening during build):
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 build release ✔
Building application, this may take a few minutes...

The warning about image platform not maching the host architecture is not an issue, since we are actually "cross-compiling" our image. On a linux-based machine you have to enable emulation to be able to cross-compile containers, check the paragraph below for more information.
Once you have built an image you can then deploy it to a device using the "deploy" subcommand (in this case you need to provide a target device for the operation and -p returns progress information):
$ ./tdskt application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 deploy release 06827787 ✔
Deploying application, this may take a few minutes...
Application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 successfully deployed.
Once your application has been deployed you can run it on the target using the "run" subcommand:
$ ./tdskt application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 run release 06827787 2 ↵
Starting application...
Started container 315005993abb2d3b3282923e5097f9b7bb6d15fb20a9fb61fcf3ef593f3aa76f
If the application was already running on the device it will be restarted. Running an application for the first time may require some time if it requires additional containers to be started (for example weston for graphical UI apps) since those container may have to be dowloaded first.
If you want to monitor the execution of your application you can use the device-containers features described previously and the "container" subcommand may be used to retrieve information about the current instance of your application's container, including its id:
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 container release 06827787 ✔

You can stop a running istance of your application using the "stop" subcommand:
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 stop release 06827787
$
The "logs" subcommand may be used to collect container's output for the current instance or for one that just terminated (in this case execution will return to the prompt):
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 logs release 06827787
Hello World!

Some platform (typically those using C/C++ as development language) provide an SDK that can be used to build the application code using the right toolchain and libraries.
The SDK is provided as a container that can run on a developer's machine.
To build and start the container you can use the "updatesdk" subcommand (also the SDK support debug and release configuration to easily support different options to enable/disable, for example, code optimization or instrumentation):
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 updatesdk release 2 ↵
Updating SDK, this may require a few minutes...

Some SDK containers expose an SSH interface (using build:build by default as user/pass), for those who don't the returned properties will be empty, as in the sample.
In some scenarios you may want to run your application's container from the command line or from a docker compose file. The command-line interface provides a couple of features to make this easy.
The "cmdline" subcommand can be used to generate a valid docker command line to run your container:
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 cmdline release ✔
docker run arm32v7-debian-no-ssh_bullseye_release_ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986
The generated command line will include all the extra properties you can set via application configuration in the IDEs.
The "composefile" command allows you to generate a docker-compose file. This will include also additional containers required by your application, if so configured:
$ ./tdskt -p application ce365e8d-e6f4-4ce3-9dfe-e5565ed01986 composefile release ✔

Usually application configuration is modified using the UI provided by the IDE extensions, but in some cases it may be useful to do this programmatically. To do this the "setprop" command can be used to change configuration for debug, release or common parameters. For examle, this command:
$ ./tdskt -p application 421ad07f-5bfe-4cd3-83eb-8266e1d08312 setprop extraparms.privileged true common
Will run the application in privileged mode for both debug and release mode. This one instead:
$ ./tdskt -p application 421ad07f-5bfe-4cd3-83eb-8266e1d08312 setprop ports.8080/tcp 80 debug
Will map port 8080 to container's port 80 only for debug configuration. Some of the application properties are array or dictionaries. For dictionaries (like ports or extraparms above) a single entry can be changed or addded, for array you need to pass the whole sequence:
$ ./tdskt -p application 421ad07f-5bfe-4cd3-83eb-8266e1d08312 setprop networks '[network1,network2]' release
After the changes you may ue the "info" subcommand to verify that your changes have been applied.

If you want to push your application to a docker registry you can use the "push" subcommand. Before doing that you need to ensure that you built the image you plan to upload and that you set the "tag" property to the repository:tag you plan to use for the push operation (repository may include the address of a server if you don't plan to upload your image to docker hub).
$ ./tdskt -p application 421ad07f-5bfe-4cd3-83eb-8266e1d08312 setprop props.tag myrepository/mytag common
$ ./tdskt -p application 421ad07f-5bfe-4cd3-83eb-8266e1d08312 push release myuser mypassword ✔

If you want to publish your application on Torizon OTA you have to register on the OTA Application and obtain the credential.zip file required to sign and publish your updates. You also have to set the "otapackagename" property to a valid package name and provide username and password required to publish your container on docker registry.
$ ./tdskt -p application 8057ba96-528e-447d-b56d-fb0d0e6970e3 setprop otapackagename mypackage0000

Some containers may support SSH connectivity for debugging or remote access purposes. The "key" subcommand allow you to get the path of the SSH key you can use to connect.
$ ./tdskt -p application 8057ba96-528e-447d-b56d-fb0d0e6970e3 key
/home/user/dummy/appconfig_0/id_rsa
In the same way the sync command can be used to sync a folder from the host PC (or SDK container) to the target container. This requires that the target platform exposes an SSH interface and supports rsync.
$ ./tdskt -p application 8057ba96-528e-447d-b56d-fb0d0e6970e3 sync 25 ↵
usage: tdskt application application-id sync [-h] [--sdk] source-folder configuration device-id destination-folder
tdskt application application-id sync: error: the following arguments are required: source-folder, configuration, device-id, destination-folder
An application configuration object contains a unique id and security keys. Sharing them on an internal repository may not be an issue, but sharing them between different teams or in a public open-source code base may be a problem. The ide-backend provides a feature to remove those IDs from configuration. This makes the application object unusable, but new IDs and keys will be recreated when the configuration is loaded. This means that a different user rebuilding the application from code and configuration will get the same functional results but different IDs, preventing him from overwriting the original release.
The "reseal" command can be used to remove ids and keys from an application before publishing its code:
$ ./tdskt -p application 8057ba96-528e-447d-b56d-fb0d0e6970e3 reseal
Application has been resealed. It should not be used for any further operation, otherwise keys will be regenerated.
Some of the configuration objects (devices, applications) have properties and parameters that can be configured by users. The API provides functions to check if a value is valid for a specific parameter. This avoids the need of saving and applying the changes just to check if a specific value is valid or not. The "validate" subcommand allows you to check if a value is valid for device properties.
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 validate hostname bla@blabla
Value does not appear to be a valid hostname or IP address.
$ ./tdskt device 06827787 validate hostname 192.168.1.34
$
Applications support more complex parameters and so the options of "validate" subcommand change depending on the kind of parameter to be validated. You can have simple entries, like dockercomposefile that can be validated as parameters:
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate parameter common dockercomposefile docker-compose.yml
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate parameter common dockercomposefile /##docker-compose.yml
Value does not appear to be a valid relative file path.
Some parameters (ex: networks and devices) are defined as lists of items, so you can validate an item and specify it's index (or -1 one for an item that will be appended to the list).
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate item common networks network01 -1
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate item common networks network@@01 -1
Value does not appear to be a valid docker object name.
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate item common devices /bla/blabla
Device name should start with /dev
Other elements are defined as dictionaries (props, ports, extraparms). In this case you'll have to use the entry method and specify also the key.
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate entry common extraparms privileged true
$ ./tdskt application f7ab6402-aec5-44ac-8a09-708fbb226c21 validate entry common extraparms privileged blabla
YAML validation error: 'blabla' is not of type 'boolean'
Failed validating 'type' in schema:
{'type': 'boolean'}
On instance:
'blabla'
The API supports also some generic features that can be useful for developing a more complete and easy to use IDE extension.
The "pull" command can be used to pull base containers for the different platforms. This will require some time but will then speed-up further build operations. It can also be used to ensure that all base containers are up to date.
$ ./tdskt -p pull

ARM (and other architectures) emulation is enabled by default when docker runs on Windows. On Linux you have to enable it explicitely using binfmt. This operation can be automated using the "enableemulation" command.
$ ./tdskt -p enableemulation ✔
