ESP Service

[English]

简介

ESP Service 是面向 ESP-IDF 的三层服务基础设施。服务基类提供统一的生命周期状态机与事件发布。服务管理器在此之上提供运行时注册、批量启停与工具调用。可选的 MCP(Model Context Protocol)服务器再把已注册服务的工具,通过多种传输方式暴露给大模型或智能体。按键、Wi-Fi、命令行、OTA 等业务服务均基于该基类实现。

功能清单

  • 生命周期状态机:UNINITIALIZEDINITIALIZEDRUNNINGPAUSED,所有状态切换在调用方任务上下文中同步执行

  • 基于 vtable(esp_service_ops_t)的子类化机制,派生服务只需实现所需的生命周期回调

  • 每个服务实例绑定一个 ADF Event Hub,通过 esp_service_publish_event() / esp_service_event_subscribe() 发布订阅事件

  • 低功耗钩子 on_lowpower_enter / on_lowpower_exit,不引起状态切换

  • esp_service_manager 支持运行时注册/注销、按名称或类别查找、批量 start_all / stop_all

  • 服务注册时可附带 JSON 格式的工具描述,由管理器自动解析并支持 esp_service_manager_invoke_tool() 调用

  • 可选 MCP 服务器实现 MCP 2024-11-05 协议(tools/listtools/callnotifications/tools/list_changed),支持 HTTP、SSE、WebSocket、UART、STDIO、SDIO 六种传输方式

  • 服务管理器与 MCP 服务器内部均由互斥锁保护,可在多任务环境下并发调用

技术拆解

三层模型

ESP Service 分为三层,彼此独立,可按需选用:esp_service_t 是最小可用单元,只用它就能获得生命周期管理和事件发布能力;esp_service_manager_t 在多个服务实例之上提供统一注册与查找;MCP 服务器再挂载到管理器上,把工具调用暴露给外部 Agent。

        classDiagram
    direction TB
    class esp_service_t {
        +state
        +esp_service_start()
        +esp_service_publish_event()
    }
    class esp_service_manager_t {
        +esp_service_manager_register()
        +esp_service_manager_invoke_tool()
    }
    class esp_service_mcp_server_t {
        +tools/list
        +tools/call
    }
    esp_service_manager_t "1" o-- "0..*" esp_service_t
    esp_service_mcp_server_t --> esp_service_manager_t
    

只使用基类即可实现一个服务;引入管理器用于多服务编排;MCP 服务器是否挂载完全可选,三者不强制绑定使用。

生命周期与子类化

派生服务把 esp_service_t 作为结构体的第一个成员嵌入,填充 esp_service_ops_t 中需要的回调,再调用 esp_service_init() 完成初始化。状态机由基类维护,四个生命周期 API(esp_service_start()esp_service_stop()esp_service_pause()esp_service_resume())均在调用方任务上下文中同步调用对应的 ops 回调,服务如果需要长时间运行的后台任务,应在 on_start 内自行创建并立即返回。

typedef struct {
    esp_service_t base;  /* 必须是第一个成员 */
    /* ... 派生字段 ... */
} my_service_t;

static esp_err_t my_on_start(esp_service_t *base)
{
    my_service_t *svc = (my_service_t *)base;
    /* 创建后台任务、使能硬件等 */
    return ESP_OK;
}

static const esp_service_ops_t s_my_ops = {
    .on_start = my_on_start,
};

esp_service_config_t cfg = { .name = "my_service" };
esp_service_init(&svc->base, &cfg, &s_my_ops);

基类在每次状态切换成功后自动发布 ESP_SERVICE_EVENT_STATE_CHANGED 事件(ID 为 UINT16_MAX - 1),派生服务定义自己的事件枚举时不能使用该值或通配符 UINT16_MAX。领域事件(如 OTA 进度、按键动作)通过同一个事件总线发布,发布与订阅方式见 ADF Event Hub

备注

低功耗钩子由 esp_service_lowpower_enter() / esp_service_lowpower_exit() 直接调用,不经过状态机,适合用来挂起无线电、LED 等外围资源。

服务管理器

esp_service_manager_t 维护一份服务注册表,每个条目通过 esp_service_registration_t 描述:必填的 service 实例、可选的分类字符串 category(供 find_by_category 查询)、以及一对可选的 tool_desc / tool_invoke。两者都设置时,管理器会解析 tool_desc 中的 JSON 工具描述数组,并把 esp_service_manager_invoke_tool() 的调用路由到 tool_invoke 回调;两者都为空则仅做生命周期管理。

esp_service_manager_t *mgr;
esp_service_manager_create(NULL, &mgr);

esp_service_manager_register(mgr, &(esp_service_registration_t){
    .service  = (esp_service_t *)my_service,
    .category = "audio",
});

esp_service_manager_start_all(mgr);

工具描述是一段 JSON 数组,每项包含 namedescriptioninputSchema

[
  {
    "name": "player_service_play",
    "description": "Start audio playback",
    "inputSchema": { "type": "object", "properties": {} }
  }
]

CLI Service 用管理器实现它的 svc / tool 命令,具体用法见 ESP CLI Service

MCP 服务器(可选)

启用 CONFIG_ESP_MCP_ENABLE 后可以创建 MCP 服务器,把管理器上注册的工具通过 JSON-RPC 2.0 暴露给外部 Agent。服务器本身与传输方式解耦,通过 esp_service_manager_as_tool_provider() 把管理器包装为工具来源,再传入一个具体的传输实例。

        flowchart TD
    LLM["LLM / AI Agent"] --> MCP[MCP 服务器]
    MCP --> MGR[服务管理器]
    MGR --> S1[服务 A]
    MGR --> S2[服务 B]
    

支持的传输方式各自对应一个独立的 Kconfig 选项:HTTP(POST /mcp)、SSE 流式、WebSocket、UART、STDIO、SDIO,均以 esp_service_mcp_trans_t 为统一接口,可按目标设备的连接方式任选其一或多个。

esp_service_mcp_trans_t *transport = NULL;
esp_service_mcp_trans_http_create(&http_cfg, &transport);

esp_service_mcp_server_config_t cfg = ESP_SERVICE_MCP_SERVER_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
esp_service_manager_as_tool_provider(mgr, &cfg.tool_provider);
cfg.transport = transport;

esp_service_mcp_server_t *server = NULL;
esp_service_mcp_server_create(&cfg, &server);
esp_service_mcp_server_start(server);

应用示例

  • components/esp_service/examples/mock_services/ 演示服务管理器与全部 MCP 传输方式的组合,附带主机侧 Python 测试脚本。

  • services_hub 演示 Wi-Fi Service、OTA Service、CLI Service、Button Service 多个服务组合、并集成 esp_board_manager 的生产风格用法。

FAQ

Q1:一个服务必须注册到 esp_service_manager 才能使用吗?

不需要。esp_service_t 自身即可完成初始化、启停和事件发布,管理器只在需要跨服务编排或 MCP 工具调用时才有必要引入。

Q2:MCP 服务器支持同时开启多种传输方式吗?

每个 esp_service_mcp_server_t 实例绑定一个传输实例;需要多种传输方式同时对外提供服务时,创建多个服务器实例并共享同一个工具来源即可。

Publish a domain event through the service-bound Event Hub.

备注

Payload ownership contract (stricter than adf_event_hub_publish()):

  • If release_cb is non-NULL, it is invoked EXACTLY ONCE for every invocation of this function, regardless of the return code (ESP_OK, INVALID_ARG, INVALID_STATE, NOT_FOUND, NO_MEM).

  • The caller MUST NOT free or otherwise access payload after this function returns; doing so results in a double-free / UAF.

  • release_cb may fire synchronously inside this call (callback-mode delivery or early error path), so any fields the caller needs to log/use must be captured into local variables BEFORE the call.

  • If release_cb is NULL, the caller keeps payload ownership on all paths (typical for stack/static/long-lived payloads).

参数:
  • service[in] Service instance

  • event_id[in] Domain-local event id (must be > 0)

  • payload[in] Event payload pointer (may be NULL)

  • payload_len[in] Payload length in bytes

  • release_cb[in] Optional payload release callback; when non-NULL, ownership of payload is transferred on every path

  • release_ctx[in] Optional release callback context

返回:

  • ESP_OK Event published.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service is NULL or event_id is zero.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE No event hub bound.

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND Hub is not a registered domain.

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM Internal envelope allocation failed.

esp_err_t esp_service_event_subscribe(esp_service_t *service, const adf_event_subscribe_info_t *info)

  • info[in] Subscription parameters

返回:

  • ESP_OK Subscriber registered.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service or info is NULL.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE No event hub bound.

返回:

  • ESP_OK Reference released.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service or delivery is NULL.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE No event hub bound.

esp_err_t esp_service_get_event_hub(const esp_service_t *service, adf_event_hub_t *out_hub)

Get the event hub handle bound to a service.

参数:
  • service[in] Service instance

  • out_hub[out] Output: event hub handle (NULL if not bound)

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service or out_hub is NULL.

esp_err_t esp_service_get_last_error(const esp_service_t *service, esp_err_t *out_err)

Get last error recorded by the base layer (e.g. on_start failed)

    Returns the error code from the most recent failed lifecycle call.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Invalid argument

esp_err_t esp_service_lowpower_enter(esp_service_t *service)

Notify service to enter low-power mode.

    Calls ops->on_lowpower_enter if provided. This is a direct callback
    invocation — it does not change the service lifecycle state.
    Typical use: suspend radio, turn off LED, reduce clock, etc.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service is NULL

  • other Error returned by on_lowpower_enter

esp_err_t esp_service_lowpower_exit(esp_service_t *service)

Notify service to exit low-power mode.

    Calls ops->on_lowpower_exit if provided. This is a direct callback
    invocation — it does not change the service lifecycle state.
参数:

service[in] Service instance

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success or on_lowpower_exit is NULL

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service is NULL

  • other Error returned by on_lowpower_exit

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Invalid argument

esp_err_t esp_service_set_user_data(esp_service_t *service, void *user_data)

Replace the user-data pointer held by the base layer.

    Typical use: a subclass clears `user_data` in `on_deinit` after freeing
    its private context. Does not free the previous pointer.
参数:
  • service[in] Service instance

  • user_data[in] New value (may be NULL)

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service is NULL

esp_err_t esp_service_set_event_hub(esp_service_t *service, adf_event_hub_t hub)

Replace the Event Hub handle bound to the service.

    Assigns the internal hub pointer only. The caller owns hub lifetime:
    destroy or retain any previous handle (e.g. via `esp_service_get_event_hub`)
    before calling, as this function does not call `adf_event_hub_destroy`.
参数:
  • service[in] Service instance

  • hub[in] Hub handle to store (may be NULL)

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG service is NULL

esp_err_t esp_service_state_to_str(esp_service_state_t state, const char **out_str)

esp_err_t esp_service_get_event_name(const esp_service_t *service, uint16_t event_id, const char **out_name)

Get human-readable name for a domain event ID.

备注

The base STATE_CHANGED event is handled by the core layer. Domain-specific events are delegated to ops->event_to_name if provided.

参数:
  • service[in] Service instance

  • event_id[in] Event ID to look up

  • out_name[out] Output: event name string (may be NULL if unknown)

返回:

  • ESP_OK Name found

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG Invalid argument

Macros

ESP_SERVICE_EVENT_STATE_CHANGED

Service base module.

    This is the base class for all services. It provides:
    - Lifecycle operations via esp_service_ops_t (virtual methods)
    - State machine: UNINITIALIZED -> INITIALIZED -> RUNNING <-> PAUSED
    - All lifecycle API calls (start/stop/pause/resume) execute synchronously
      in the caller's task context, invoking the corresponding vtable op.
      Services that need a persistent background task create and manage it
      themselves inside on_init / on_start / on_stop.
    - Low-power hooks: optional on_lowpower_enter / on_lowpower_exit ops; invoked by
      esp_service_lowpower_enter() / esp_service_lowpower_exit(), which are simple
      direct calls — no state change, no SLEEPING state.
    - Event hub integration: optional adf_event_hub for publish-subscribe events
    - All functions return esp_err_t, results passed via output parameters

    Subclass domain events (e.g. player track end, OTA progress) are not
    part of the base; each subclass defines its own event enum, payload,
    and set_event_cb. See docs/SUBCLASS_EVENT_DESIGN.md for the pattern.

Event IDs published by the service base layer.

    These are published automatically when a service has a bound event hub.
    Subscribers use these IDs in adf_event_subscribe_info_t::event_id.

    Base-layer IDs occupy the top of the uint16_t range so that the low
    range [1 .. UINT16_MAX-2] is freely available for domain-specific events.
    ADF_EVENT_ANY_ID (UINT16_MAX) is the wildcard; derived services MUST NOT
    use UINT16_MAX or UINT16_MAX-1.
State transition; payload: esp_service_state_changed_payload_t

ESP_SERVICE_BASE(service)

Get base service.

ESP_SERVICE_CONFIG_DEFAULT()

Default configuration macro.

Type Definitions

  • ESP_OK On success (including the empty-registry case).

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG mgr, out_tools, or out_count is NULL.

  • ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT Mutex acquisition timed out.

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM Allocation failed.

void esp_service_manager_free_cloned_tools(esp_service_tool_t *tools, uint16_t count)

Free an array returned by esp_service_manager_clone_tools()

参数:
  • tools[in] Array to free (may be NULL)

  • count[in] Number of entries in the array

esp_err_t esp_service_manager_invoke_tool(esp_service_manager_t *mgr, const char *tool_name, const char *args_json, char *result, size_t result_size)

Invoke a tool.

    The manager mutex is released before the handler runs, so
    long-running handlers do not block other manager APIs.

备注

The caller must not unregister the owning service while a tool on it is being invoked; the handler receives a shallow snapshot whose string fields are owned by the service entry.

参数:
  • mgr[in] Manager instance

  • tool_name[in] Tool name

  • args_json[in] Arguments (JSON string)

  • result[out] Buffer for result (JSON string)

  • result_size[in] Size of result buffer

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG mgr, tool_name, or result is NULL.

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND Tool not found.

  • ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED Tool has no invocation handler.

  • ESP_ERR_TIMEOUT Mutex acquisition timed out.

  • Other Error from tool invocation handler.

esp_err_t esp_service_manager_as_tool_provider(esp_service_manager_t *mgr, esp_service_mcp_tool_provider_t *out_provider)

Wrap a service manager instance as an esp_service_mcp_tool_provider_t.

    Populates out_provider with callbacks that delegate to the given
    manager.  No allocation is performed; out_provider may live on the
    stack or inside a config struct.
参数:
  • mgr[in] Service manager instance

  • out_provider[out] Provider struct to populate

返回:

  • ESP_OK On success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG mgr or out_provider is NULL

Structures

struct esp_service_registration_t

Service registration info.

    tool_desc and tool_invoke are both optional:
    - Both NULL  → service is registered for lifecycle management only;
                   no tool discovery or dispatch is set up.
    - Both set   → manager parses tool_desc and routes invoke_tool() calls
                   through tool_invoke; enables MCP tool support.

Type Definitions

typedef struct esp_service_mcp_server esp_service_mcp_server_t

MCP Server - Exposes services as Model Context Protocol tools.

    Implements MCP specification 2024-11-05:
    - tools/list: List available tools
    - tools/call: Invoke tools
    - notifications/tools/list_changed: Notify tool list changes

    Architecture:
    - Transport-agnostic: receives a pre-created esp_service_mcp_trans_t*
      and communicates through the abstract transport interface.
    - Tool-source-agnostic: receives an esp_service_mcp_tool_provider_t that
      abstracts the underlying tool registry; use
      esp_service_manager_as_tool_provider() to wrap an
      esp_service_manager_t, or supply custom callbacks.
    - JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol handling
    - Request/response validation

    Typical usage:
// 1. Create a concrete transport
esp_service_mcp_trans_t *transport = NULL;
esp_service_mcp_trans_http_create(&http_cfg, &transport);

// 2. Wrap the service manager as a tool provider
esp_service_mcp_server_config_t cfg = ESP_SERVICE_MCP_SERVER_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
esp_service_manager_as_tool_provider(mgr, &cfg.tool_provider);
cfg.transport = transport;
esp_service_mcp_server_create(&cfg, &server);

// 3. Start (starts both server logic and transport)
esp_service_mcp_server_start(server);

// 4. Cleanup
esp_service_mcp_server_stop(server);
esp_service_mcp_server_destroy(server);
esp_service_mcp_trans_destroy(transport);
