New Command: Rover_Initalize

To facilitate parameter tweaking and switching of the plan without a need to change the internals of the model, the IDEA team would like to request the addition of the following command to the MA interface. This command does not need to be integrated with the voice look, it is just something that will make our life immensely easier during testing (we will actually not have to mess with the model, something we don’t want to do once we start freezing the code).

The new command has the following XIDDL interface. I will be available to give information on how to translate this into the appropriate IPC command but hopefully experience with the other commands should transfer to this one.

As usual you only need to worry with the call args (when you send them to IDEA) in the order in which they appear, never mind if the sequence is interrupted by return-status or internal modes parameters.

The return status is of the usual type (like all other commands you have provided so far).

The “String” for the filename has to be a string without double quote with the location of the plan file (either full or relative to the directory from where the IDEA agent is launched). We will provide you with the plan file(s) as soon as we build good ones.
