Currently
bus.send_periodic
blindly wraps the BCM socket API, and sendsa BCM operation with the
TX_SETUP
opcode. However, the semantics thatthe kernel driver provides are an "upsert". As such, when one attempts
to create two Tasks with the same CAN Arbitration ID, it ends up
silently modifying the periodic messages, which is contrary to what our
API implies.
This fixes the problem by first sending a
TX_READ
opcode with the CANArbitration ID that we wish to create. The kernel driver will return
-EINVAL
if a periodic transmission with the given Arbitration ID doesnot exist. If this is the case, then we can continue creating the Task,
otherwise we error and notify the user.
Fixes #605
