CAF: Shell module

The shell module of the Common Application Framework (CAF) allows interactions with CAF modules and events using a predefined set of Zephyr’s Shell commands. The module introduces a shell command for submitting events informing about button press or release (button_event). Submitting button_event related to the hardware button presses can be handled by the CAF: Buttons module.

Configuration

To use the module, enable the following Kconfig options:

  • CONFIG_CAF_SHELL - This option is mandatory as it enables this module.

  • CONFIG_SHELL - This option enables Zephyr shell that is used by the module to receive commands from user.

  • CONFIG_CAF - This option enables the Common Application Framework.

This module selects the Kconfig option CONFIG_CAF_BUTTON_EVENTS.

Usage

All shell commands of this module are subcommands of the caf_events command. To send a button_event, use the following syntax:

caf_events button_event [button_id] [pressed]

The button_event subcommand has two required arguments:

  • button_id - A decimal number represents the ID of a button.

  • pressed - Button press state, can only be either y or n.
