Description
Add an example pythonSoftIOC talking to a TCP device with a protocol would be complicated to implement in streamDevice (like 1 byte giving frame length, bytes data, 2 byte CRC). Add helpers to pythonSoftIOC to make this easier.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing pythonSoftIOC examples and the streamDevice-related code, then review how TCP device communication is currently handled. Define the helper API around the described length-prefixed frame and two-byte CRC protocol. Done means a runnable pythonSoftIOC example communicates with a TCP device using those helpers.
