Sharing development boards
==========================
To avoid conflicts for development boards on the server, while using a board you must hold the corresponding lock file present in ``/var/lib/artiq/boards``. Holding the lock file grants you exclusive access to the board.
To avoid conflicts for development boards on the server, while using a board you must hold the corresponding lock file present in the ``/tmp`` folder of the machine to which the board is connected. Holding the lock file grants you exclusive access to the board.
To lock the KC705 for 30 minutes or until Ctrl-C is pressed:
For example, to lock the KC705 until ENTER is pressed:
::
flock --verbose /var/lib/artiq/boards/kc705-1 sleep 1800
Check that the command acquires the lock, i.e. prints something such as:
::
flock: getting lock took 0.000003 seconds
flock: executing sleep
To lock the KC705 for the duration of the execution of a shell:
::
flock /var/lib/artiq/boards/kc705-1 bash
You may also use this script:
::
#!/bin/bash
exec flock /var/lib/artiq/boards/$1 bash --rcfile <(cat ~/.bashrc; echo PS1=\"[$1\ lock]\ \$PS1\")
ssh rpi-1.m-labs.hk "flock /tmp/board_lock-kc705-1 -c 'echo locked; read; echo unlocked'"

To determine which user is locking a board, use:
To determine which user is locking a board, use a command such as:
::
fuser -v /var/lib/artiq/boards/kc705-1

ssh rpi-1.m-labs.hk "fuser -v /tmp/board_lock-kc705-1"
