Turing Pi Control Tools

This repository contains tools for controlling Turing Pi boards, split into two components:

Components

1. Client Library

A Go library for programmatically controlling Turing Pi boards via their BMC API.

go get github.com/davidroman0O/tpi

2. CLI Tool

A command-line interface for controlling Turing Pi boards.

# Install pre-built binary (see releases)
# or build from source:
cd cli && go build

Quick Start

Using the CLI

# Power on node 1
./cli/tpi power on 1 --host=192.168.1.91

# Get power status
./cli/tpi power status --host=192.168.1.91

Using the Client Library

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/davidroman0O/tpi/client"
)

func main() {
	// Create a client
	c, err := client.NewClient(
		client.WithHost("192.168.1.91"),
		client.WithCredentials("root", "turing"),
	)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Power on node 1
	if err := c.PowerOn(1); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Println("Node 1 powered on!")
}

Using the Agent Client

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/davidroman0O/tpi/client/agent"
)

func main() {
	// Create an agent client to connect to a remote agent server
	c, err := agent.NewAgentClient(
		agent.WithAgentHost("192.168.1.91"),
		agent.WithAgentPort(9977),
		agent.WithAgentSecret("mysecret"),
	)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Power on node 1 remotely
	if err := c.PowerOn(1); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Println("Node 1 powered on remotely!")
}

Agent Mode

The library and CLI now support an Agent Mode that allows you to control a Turing Pi board remotely without direct access to the BMC. This works by running an agent server on a machine with direct access to the Turing Pi board, and connecting to it from a remote machine.
