prototype: Initial barebones prototype This implements a bare-bones mdt command that can be used as a pip package and installed on a host system. Currently it implements a bare skeleton for command line processing and also handles mDNS discovery of specific devices advertising the "_google._mdt._tcp" service.
MDT is a simple tool to aid in working with single board computers that the Mendel Linux distribution runs on. It consists of a whole bunch of pre-existing open source tooling, coupled with some simple wrappers written in python to ease their use.
It also provides an easy way to interact with these boards without having to fight with serial consoles, IP addresses, and other fiddly bits, reducing barrier to entry when working with these boards.
With minimal effort, MDT should also be portable to existing systems such as Debian and Ubuntu, if needed. This, however, is out of the scope of this project.
