class BaseDevice(QObject):
    """
    Base class for the more specific MicroPython devices.

    It includes a list of commands for general use on the various boards.
    If a board needs special treatment, the command should be overwritten
    in the board specific subclass. Commands are provided to perform operations
    on the file system of a connected MicroPython device, for getting and setting
    the time on the board and getting board related data.

    Supported file system commands are:
    <ul>
    <li>cd: change directory</li>
    <li>exists: test the existence of a file or directory on the device</li>
    <li>fileSystemInfo: get information about the file system</li>
    <li>get: get a file from the connected device</li>
    <li>getData: read data of a file of the connected device</li>
    <li>lls: directory listing with meta data</li>
    <li>ls: directory listing</li>
    <li>mkdir: create a new directory</li>
    <li>put: copy a file to the connected device</li>
    <li>putData: write data to a file of the connected device</li>
    <li>pwd: get the current directory</li>
    <li>rm: remove a file from the connected device</li>
    <li>rmdir: remove an empty directory</li>
    <li>rmrf: remove a file/directory recursively (like 'rm -rf' in bash)</li>
    </ul>

    Supported non file system commands are:
    <ul>
    <li>getBoardData: get information about the connected board</li>
    <li>getDeviceData: get version info about MicroPython and some implementation
        information</li>
    <li>getModules: get a list of built-in modules</li>
    <li>getTime: get the current time</li>
    <li>showTime: show the current time of the connected device</li>
    <li>syncTime: synchronize the time of the connected device</li>
    <li>mipInstall: install a MicroPython package with 'mip'</li>
    <li>upipInstall: install a MicroPython package with 'upip'</li>
    <li>getLibPaths: get a list of library paths contained in sys.path</li>
    </ul>

    Supported WiFi commands are:
    <ul>
    <li>hasWifi: check, if the board has WiFi functionality</li>
    <li>getWifiData: get WiFi status data</li>
    <li>connectWifi: connect to a WiFi network</li>
    <li>disconnectWifi: disconnect from a WiFi network</li>
    <li>isWifiClientConnected: check the WiFi connection status as client</li>
    <li>isWifiApConnected: check the WiFi connection status as access point</li>
    <li>writeCredentials: save the WiFi credentials to the board and create
        functionality to auto-connect at boot time</li>
    <li>removeCredentials: remove the saved credentials</li>
    <li>checkInternet: check, if internet access is possible</li>
    <li>scanNetworks: scan for available WiFi networks</li>
    <li>deactivateInterface: deactivate a WiFi interface</li>
    <li>startAccessPoint: start an access point</li>
    <li>stopAccessPoint: stop the access point</li>
    <li>getConnectedClients: get a list of connected WiFi clients</li>
    </ul>

    Supported Bluetooth commands are:
    <ul>
    <li>hasBluetooth: check, if the board has Bluetooth functionality</li>
    <li>getBluetoothStatus: get Bluetooth status data</li>
    <li>activateBluetoothInterface: activate a Bluetooth interface</li>
    <li>deactivateBluetoothInterface: deactivate a Bluetooth interface</li>
    <li>getDeviceScan: scan for visible Bluetooth devices</li>
    </ul>

    Supported Ethernet commands are:
    <ul>
    <li>hasEthernet: check, if the board has Ethernet functionality</li>
    <li>getEthernetStatus: get Ethernet status data</li>
    <li>connectToLan: connect to an Ethernet network</li>
    <li>disconnectFromLan: disconnect from an Ethernet network</li>
    <li>isLanConnected: check the LAN connection status</li>
    <li>checkInternetViaLan: check, if internet access via LAN is possible</li>
    <li>deactivateEthernet: deactivate the Ethernet interface</li>
    <li>writeLanAutoConnect: save IPv4 parameters to the board and create a script
        to connect the board to the LAN</li>
    <li>removeLanAutoConnect: remove the IPv4 parameters and script from the board</li>
