Feature Description

Follow-up on https://github.com/nasa/fprime-gds/pull/285

Parameter DB encoding/decoding scripts need to:

  • load the dictionary
  • use loaded types instead of hardcoding widths
  • consolidate tooling, e.g. fprime-prm <encode,decode> command instead of single scripts

This is very similar to https://github.com/nasa/fprime/issues/4623

Research direction

Start with the existing Parameter DB encoding and decoding scripts and compare their design with fprime-gds pull request 285 and issue 4623. Trace how the dictionary and parameter types are currently handled, then define the consolidated fprime-prm encode/decode entry point. Done means both operations load the dictionary, use its types rather than hardcoded widths, and are exposed through the consolidated tooling.
