Up to date PiSCSI Software

PiSCSI Control (formerly RaSCSI Control) requires at least release 21.10 of the RaSCSI/PiSCSI software. This release and newer releases contain numerous extensions, new device emulations and bug fixes I contributed. Major parts of the PiSCSI software I have re-implemented in modern C++. Recommended release is version 23.04.
These are the most important of my improvements:

• Client/Server architecture with well-defined remote interface (based on Google Protocol Buffers)
• Detailed information on the PiSCSI server properties
• Configurable PiSCSI server port
• scsictl also runs on an Intel or ARM Linux and can connect to PiSCSI on the Pi
• Optional authentication in order to safeguard all operations
• Shutting down PiSCSI and shutting down/restarting the Pi (by remote interface or SCSI command)
• Device files (/dev/*) can be used as image files
• Support for hierarchical image folders
• Renaming, copying and deleting of image files
• Removable media drive support
• Support of DVD images
• Configurable default folder for image files
• Support of 32 LUNs per device (Logical Units)
• Configurable device identifier (vendor, product, revision)
• Implementation of numerous additional SCSI commands
• Improved compatibility with the current SCSI standard
• Improved compatibility with numerous PC/workstation platforms
• ICD compatibility for Atari computers
• Fixed compatibility issues with Linux-68k
• Support for reserved device IDs, typically used for the SCSI initiator ID
• More flexible handling of device capacities
• Configurable sector sizes, depending on the device (256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 bytes)
• Support for CD-ROM drives with 512 bytes per sector
• Improved WLAN support for the Daynaport network adapter
• Implementation of a SCSI printer
• Realtime clock for SCSI clients
• Improved command validation and error analysis
• More concise and multilingual error messages
• Improved logging and configurable log level
• Restored the functionality of the scsidump tool for dumping/restoring drive contents
• Support for the clang++ compiler (besides g++)
• Support for 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu
• Extensive code cleanup
• Improved code modularity
• Improved memory management
• More robust and modern C++ code
• Introduction of C++ unit tests based on Google Mock
• Introduction of test coverage metrics based on gcov/lcov
• Implementation of more than 260 C++ unit tests
• Removal of more than 1500 C++ code issues reported by SonarCloud
