YAMCS Ground Software Option

[jlucas9]

Add a YAMCS options for ground software - https://yamcs.org/

Through this issue:

• Option in CFG to change to YAMCS
• make prep installs YAMCS container
• YAMCS has minimal database (planned XTCE use in future) to prove commanding / telemetry with sample application

Looking forward:

• Need to update cFS versions to use XTCE and use with YAMCS
• Confirm YAMCS CFDP implementation functional existing flight software (both class 1 and 2 transfers)
• Install and have option for YAMCS studio use
• OpenMCT integration as plotting alternative

Hi @xpromache,
We're getting staff up now to get this integrated and can certainly use some guidance and testers as we get things moving!

you may run into issues with the TM/TC database - can you point me to something describing your current approach of handling that?

The plan is to move to XTCE in the future and initially just hand code a ground database for use instead of the existing COSMOS ones. Presently we're talking space packets to and from the ground software and having CryptoLib do TC/TM framing for us, but could certainly adjust that as needed.

Is the current COSMOS database handcoded? Or is it generated from something else?

We have a python library that generates XTCE, I hope it can be used to convert automatically the COSMOS database or whatever is used to generate it: https://github.com/yamcs/pymdb
