Overview

System Status on Infineon Amazon chipset driven GPLed devices.

All devices based on the Infineon Amazon chipset share a common set of startup scripts in rc.d and init.d which are launched from the boot script rcS. Services are usually launched asynchronous, some of them being time intense ones (like PPPoE), making it difficult to find out what succeeded when.

For this a status signalling mechanism is provided through the file /tmp/system_status.

File Format

The file system_status consists of tags grouping key/value pairs, similar to the Infineon Amazon Config. If an application writes to the file it replaces an entire tag (read / modify / write). Tag names are unique and are never substrings of other tagnames to avoid conflicts. This file is not shell compatible since variable names are not unique.

#<< tag_name
key1="<value1>"                 # Comments on the right side of values
key2="<value2>"                 # are not necessarily supported but are
key3="<value3>"                 # used here to explain things.
#>> tag_name

Access Commands

Writing one file from multiple applications in a multitasking environment is a risky task, which requires some locking or semaphore protection to avoid data loss. That is why system_status is never modified directly. For this an access executable is provided:
