SDS Tools

Utility tools and development scripts for the SDS (Smart Defense System) project.

This repository contains supporting tools used during SDS development, testing, debugging, deployment, and system maintenance.

Purpose

sdsTools provides utilities that are shared across the SDS development environment but do not belong to a specific SDS runtime component.

Typical tools may include:

• System configuration scripts
• Network configuration and diagnostics
• Deployment utilities
• Remote development tools
• Git/development automation
• Hardware test utilities
• Protocol debugging tools
• Image and filesystem utilities
• Production and maintenance scripts

SDS Repositories

The SDS software is divided into several repositories:

Repository	Purpose
sdsMain	Main SDS application and system control
sdsCamera	Camera, AI detection, and vision processing
sdsCom	Communication and protocol components
sdsServo	Gimbal and servo control
sdsPlatform	Platform/BSP and system integration
sdsTools	Development, debugging, deployment, and maintenance tools

Repository Structure

The structure of this repository may evolve as additional tools are added.

Example:

sdsTools/
├── network/
├── deployment/
├── debug/
├── hardware/
├── scripts/
└── README.md

Usage

Each utility should contain either:

• A short description in the script header, or
• Its own README when additional configuration or dependencies are required.

For shell scripts:

chmod +x tool.sh
./tool.sh

For Python tools:

python3 tool.py

Requirements

Requirements depend on the individual utility.

Common SDS development environments include:

• Linux / Embedded Linux
• Windows development workstations
• Git
• SSH / SCP
• Python 3
• Bash

Some utilities may require additional packages such as tcpdump, networking tools, or hardware-specific utilities.

Development

When adding a new tool:

1. Place it in the appropriate directory.
2. Use a descriptive filename.
3. Document required arguments and dependencies.
4. Avoid hard-coded device-specific configuration where possible.
5. Test the tool before committing it to the repository.

SDS Project

sdsTools is part of the SDS development ecosystem and is intended primarily for SDS development, integration, debugging, and production-support workflows.
