# Core services

Part of **Project Yukart**, making an old 2008 Mitsubishi Z27AG a bit smarter with modern technologies.  
This file serves as the minimalist portal to other docs


## What this repo is about

The acquisition and processing cluster on the Orin, developed and deployed as one
unit: `recorder` and `orin-status` now; `can-bridge`, `obd-poller`, `gnss` and `decoder` as they are
needed.

| Binary | Installed as | Does |
|---|---|---|
| `recorder` | `yukart-recorder.service` | Raw CAN + GNSS to disk, in sessions, under a storage bound |
| `bus-bench` | not installed: a test tool | Raw CAN and decoded-signal load over MQTT, measured: loss, latency, broker CPU ([report](docs/impl/reports/BUS-BENCH.md)) |
| `orin-status` | `yukart-orin-status.service` | The Orin's health on the bus, once a second: temperatures, CPU/GPU load, memory, power, fan, WiFi/LTE/tablet links, UPS battery (`yukart/host/*`) |

```bash
scripts/deploy-recorder.sh                 # build, glibc check, install on the car Orin
scripts/deploy-orin-status.sh              # build on the development Orin, glibc check, install
yukart-orin-status --once                  # on an Orin: one reading as JSON, no broker
yukart-recorder ctl status                 # on the Orin
yukart-recorder ctl start "cold start"     # manual session, ends only on stop
yukart-recorder ctl mark "indicator left on"
yukart-recorder ctl stop
```

Recordings live in `/var/lib/yukart/recordings/`, one directory per session —
layout in [the initial plan](docs/impl/plans/INITIAL.md#session-layout).
