Baudrates can be arbitrary in theory, -but usually the choice is limited by the hardware UARTs that are used. -Common values are 9600 or 115200. - -The protocol allows full-duplex transmission, i.e. both devices can send -data at the same time. However, unlike SPI (which is always full-duplex, -i.e., each send operation is automatically also a receive operation), UART -allows one-way communication, too. In such a case only one signal (and GND) -is required. - -The data is sent over the TX line in so-called 'frames', which consist of: - - Exactly one start bit (always 0/low). - - Between 5 and 9 data bits. - - An (optional) parity bit. - - One or more stop bit(s). - -The idle state of the RX/TX line is 1/high. As the start bit is 0/low, the -receiver can continually monitor its RX line for a falling edge, in order -to detect the start bit. - -Once detected, it can (due to the agreed-upon baudrate and thus the known -width/duration of one UART bit) sample the state of the RX line "in the -middle" of each (start/data/parity/stop) bit it wants to analyze. - -It is configurable whether there is a parity bit in a frame, and if yes, -which type of parity is used: - - None: No parity bit is included. - - Odd: The number of 1 bits in the data (and parity bit itself) is odd. - - Even: The number of 1 bits in the data (and parity bit itself) is even. - - Mark/one: The parity bit is always 1/high (also called 'mark state'). - - Space/zero: The parity bit is always 0/low (also called 'space state'). - -It is also configurable how many stop bits are to be used: - - 1 stop bit (most common case) - - 2 stop bits - - 1.5 stop bits (i.e., one stop bit, but 1.5 times the UART bit width) - - 0.5 stop bits (i.e., one stop bit, but 0.5 times the UART bit width) - -The bit order of the 5-9 data bits is LSB-first. - -Possible special cases: - - One or both data lines could be inverted, which also means that the idle - state of the signal line(s) is low instead of high. - - Only the data bits on one or both data lines (and the parity bit) could - be inverted (but the start/stop bits remain non-inverted). - - The bit order could be MSB-first instead of LSB-first. - - The baudrate could change in the middle of the communication. This only - happens in very special cases, and can only work if both devices know - to which baudrate they are to switch, and when. - - Theoretically, the baudrate on RX and the one on TX could also be - different, but that's a very obscure case and probably doesn't happen - very often in practice. - -Error conditions: - - If there is a parity bit, but it doesn't match the expected parity, - this is called a 'parity error'. - - If there are no stop bit(s), that's called a 'frame error'. - -More information: -TODO: URLs - -Protocol output format: - -UART packet: -[<packet-type>, <rxtx>, <packet-data>] - -This is the list of <packet-types>s and their respective <packet-data>: - - 'STARTBIT': The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0/1). - - 'DATA': The data is the (integer) value of the UART data. Valid values - range from 0 to 512 (as the data can be up to 9 bits in size). - - 'PARITYBIT': The data is the (integer) value of the parity bit (0/1). - - 'STOPBIT': The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0 or 1). - - 'INVALID STARTBIT': The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0/1). - - 'INVALID STOPBIT': The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0/1). - - 'PARITY ERROR': The data is a tuple with two entries. The first one is - the expected parity value, the second is the actual parity value. - - TODO: Frame error? - -The <rxtx> field is 0 for RX packets, 1 for TX packets. +TODO.
