Thingset Synchronization with bq76952 Initialization

[Ananyaaynana]

Description:

Feasibility of using semaphores to synchronize the execution of the Thingset with the initialization of the bq76952. Currently, when the live publication is enabled thingset executes before bq76952 is initialized. This leads to the publication of incorrect values.

Current Approach:

A few changes made by us to the code currently employ semaphores to ensure data consistency between the PC-provided current, voltage, and temperature inputs, and the SOC (State of Charge) output received from the board. This approach guarantees that the Thingset operates with synchronized data sets.

Proposed Synchronization with bq76952:

Would a semaphore-based synchronization method ensure the Thingset only starts execution after the bq76952 has finished initializing be feasible? This would prevent the Thingset from using potentially invalid or incomplete data during its initial execution phase.

Can semaphores be effectively utilized to achieve synchronization between the Thingset and bq76952 initialization?
Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to this approach?

That's a very good point.

I don't think we need semaphores for that, but we could integrate something like a trigger into the ThingSet Zephyr SDK that inhibits publication of messages before valid data was read.

Will mark this as an enhancement.
