    software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Switch RU to be a runtime parameter · c4ecf5a0
    Kirill Smelkov authored
    Previously RU type was static parameter of particular software - it was
    possible to instantiate cells only with selected RU type for particular template.
    
    In MultiRU it will be possible to generally instantiate all kind of cells -
    LTE/NR and TDD/FDD all at the same time and each served by a different kind of Radio Unit.
    
    -> Switch RU to be runtime parameter as a preparatory step for that.
    
    There is now only two software releases:
    
      - ORS (software-ors.cfg), and
      - generic (software.cfg).
    
    ORS behaviour stays the same as before here by patch.
    
    For generic each cell in cell_list now needs to explicitly specify which kind
    of RU it wants to use and with which parameters. There are less defaults: for
    example which CPRI board and SFP port to use now needs to be explicitly
    specified.
    
    Only ORS tests are left for now. The old test{LOPCOMM,M2RU,ANY} did not
    exercised any driver-specific functionality and until recently were not run at
    all due to '-' in their file name. We remove them for now and we will add tests
    for generic in a soon follow-up patch after switching LTE/NR cell type to also
    be a runtime parameter.
    
    Backward compatibility:
    
      * nothing changes for ORS
      * for generic all RU-related parameters are now moved from cell_list to
        cell_list.ru, there are several renames and besides ru_type ru_link_type also
        needs to be specified. Please see new RU-related JSON schemas added into
        ru/ for details. Cell_list itself now also does not provide a default with
        one cell - if no cells are configured no cells are instantiated.
