Release
Release Date: Type: Bug fix
• Fix nmcli privilege errors when running as accordion user — The application now runs all network manager commands (nmcli, ip, arping, etc.) via sudo, resolving Insufficient privileges errors introduced when the process was moved from running as root to the accordion user
• Use which for binary detection — Replaced command -v (shell builtin, unreliable under sudo's restricted PATH) with which when checking for required binaries like nmcli
• Graceful handling of blank service entries in boot.config — Service entries with an empty serviceFile are now skipped with a warning instead of passing an empty string to systemctl, which caused Too few arguments errors
• Fix accordion.service systemd unit — Moved StartLimitBurst, StartLimitIntervalSec, and StartLimitAction from [Service] to [Unit] where they belong, eliminating systemd warnings on startup

🆕 New Features
Calibration API
New REST endpoints for calibration management:
GET /api/calibration/channels — list all calibration channels
GET /api/calibration/table — read the current calibration table
POST /api/calibration/table — write/apply a new calibration table
Alias / NetName interoperability — all resource read, write and transact endpoints now accept either a channel's Alias or its NetName interchangeably, making scripts portable across hardware revisions
.NET Client (AccordionQ2.WebApiClient 5.10.0 on NuGet)
Added CalibrationGroup with full calibration models and client registration
Added CalibrationGroup API documentation
Python Client (accordionq2 5.10.0 on PyPI)
Added CalibrationGroup with full calibration models and documentation
Migrated version scheme to setuptools-scm (version is now derived from git tag automatically)
UART Configuration
UartTransactionRequest now accepts numeric fields (BaudRate, etc.) as strings for flexible JSON serialisation
Added a default DeviceName fallback for UART transactions
PortName removed from UartTransactionRequest — port is resolved server-side from DeviceName
Full UART device configuration exposed: port, baud rate, bus type, flow control, parity
Module: ESH10000590 (Precision Source)
Split single DataBus into separate ADC bus and DAC bus for independent routing
Bus signal names renamed from MPIOxx → ADCxx / DACxx
Added NumericResultChannel wired to all ADC inputs; sample rate is applied to the ADS124S08 before acquisition
Added DigitalChannelDAC_GAIN to control AD5675R DoubleDacGain at runtime
Added MultiplexerChannelADC_GAIN to control ADS124S08 PGA gain (8 steps: GAIN_1 … GAIN_128)
Module: ESH10000662 (Light Table PSU)
Added virtual DigitalChannelHIGH_RANGE — when set to true, enables 0–5 V (2×VREF) range on both ADC and DAC of the AD5593R and immediately rewrites all DAC outputs with the correct codes for the new reference voltage
Device: AD5675R / AD567x_Base
DoubleDacGain can now be hot-switched at runtime without losing current channel voltages — all DAC outputs are rewritten automatically
Fixed: REF_SETUP register is now written during Reset() so the gain configuration is applied to hardware at startup
Device: ADS124S08
Implemented GetNumericResults for sequential per-channel acquisition
Fixed: PGA gain factor, conversion timing, and reported sample rate are now correct
🐛 Bug Fixes
Calibration
ESH10000556:OUTPUT_CURRENTLIMIT readback no longer returns a value affected by calibration Gain/Offset — the user-set value is now stored in the channel object on write and returned directly on read (matching OUTPUT_VOLTAGE behaviour)
ESH10000590:LoadCalibrationTable now uses StripFullNetName for keys so CSV files with short position-independent names are applied correctly (was silently no-op on every write-back)
ESH10000590:ApplyCalibrationValues now checks for key existence and logs an error instead of throwing NullReferenceException on missing keys
AD5593R / AD5592R / AD567x: DAC output values that calculate below 0 V due to a positive calibration offset are now clamped to 0 V with a warning log instead of throwing ArgumentOutOfRangeException — setting 0 on a channel with a positive offset no longer faults
HAL / Host
CommHandler: verbose communication logging disabled (ShouldLog = false) to reduce log noise
HardwareAbstractionImpl: FirmwareRevision now delegates to HostInformation rather than duplicating the logic
HostInformation: FirmwareRevision now uses an absolute path, handles empty results gracefully, and correctly strips the .version extension from the filename
⚙️ Infrastructure
CI: WebApiClient tests now exclude Integration and Performance categories that require live hardware
CI: WebApiClient build targets project files explicitly and uses the .NET 10 runner

Bug Fixes
WebAPI — First call after hardware reconnect returns 503 (accordionq2) Fixed a race condition in WaitForConnectionAsync(TimeSpan) where the old completed TaskCompletionSource was captured before the disconnect event had a chance to reset it. The first WebAPI call after a hardware restart would incorrectly fast-path through the wait and immediately return 503. The fix loops briefly until the TCS is properly reset before awaiting reconnection.
New Features / Changes
ESH10000534 — PoE RESTART_CLASSIFICATION channel (accordionuno) Added a RESTART_CLASSIFICATION digital output channel to the PoE module. Writing to it triggers a re-run of PoE classification (detect/power-enable/detect-class sequences). Also refactored PoE initialisation: SetRelay(POLARITY.NORMAL) is now called on successful init, and poe1 is nulled out on failure to allow clean retry.
Infrastructure / Internal
Protocol server — IPv4-only binding (protocolserver)
Both ProtocolServer and ProtocolClient now explicitly disable DualMode and bind to IPAddress.Any (IPv4) instead of IPv6Any. This resolves connectivity issues on targets where IPv6 dual-stack is not available.
TPS23881 — Register read logging enabled; dependency bumps (devicelibrary) Register reads now log at Info(log4net.ILog, object, string, int) level for diagnostics. Package versions bumped: CsvHelper 33.1.0, Iot.Device.Bindings 4.2.0, UnitsNet 5.75.0.
