[LEDE-DEV] GSOC 2017 - Implement NetJSON output in ubus (OpenWRT/LEDE) - Progress Report 1

[Arun Kumar]

Hi Mentors and Developer community,

This is the 1st week's progress report of the project:
Implement NetJSON output in ubus (OpenWRT/LEDE)

1. To make myself familiar with the LEDE built an image without any
changes and loaded into the Raspberry Pi3.
2. Compiled SCAL package and understood its working.
3. Added a new CLI in the ubus architecture to get the inputs and call
dummy backend APIs.
"ubus call netjson config"
4. netjson namespace is registered in the libubus to support the above.

To be done next week:

1. Refine the timeline in the proposal [1] and update it in the
Friefunk blogpost.
2. Make the CLI to support other inputs as mentioned in [1] as a
separate function rather than exisiting ubus CLI functions which I
have implemented now.
3. Understand more about the json schema in the SCAL plugins and try
to add NetJSON schema to that.
