Module Overview

TpService is the backend service module of the TinyPiXOS framework. Built on nanomsg, it provides efficient communication, currently focusing on inter-process communication (IPC) and communication between devices on the local network, with plans to evolve into a more powerful system service node.

Current Features

Publish/Subscribe (Pub-Sub) Model

Supports multi-node message broadcasting, suitable for event notifications and state synchronization, achieving low-latency, high-throughput communication.

Inter-Process Communication (IPC)

Provides lightweight inter-process data exchange for modular application architectures. Supports multiple transports (e.g., inproc, ipc, tcp).

Planned Extensions

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) Support

Provides a request/response model for cross-process or cross-device service invocation. Supports sync/async calls to improve system flexibility.

System-level Service Interfaces

Process management: Retrieve running process info and monitor application status. Remote application control: Securely start/stop applications remotely.

Technical Features

• Lightweight and efficient: Built on nanomsg with low resource usage, suitable for embedded and lightweight applications.
• Extensible: Modular design, easy to integrate more advanced features in the future (e.g., authentication, load balancing).

TpService aims to provide TinyPiXOS with a stable, efficient communication foundation and gradually evolve into a more powerful system service framework.
