Rephrase how the external IRMP library gets loaded, to provide better
diagnostics to users. All decoder instances are equal after the recent
introduction of locking support.
Move the "reset state" call for the IRMP decoder core to the .decode()
method's main loop, where the context manager holds the instance lock.
This allows "parallel" execution of multiple IRMP decoders in the same
sigrok application, assuming that the context manager scope will be
left at some point in time.
This fixes bug #1581 when applications communicate EOF to decoders.
Move some Python object members to local variables. They exclusively
are used within the .decode() method.
Update the copyright for the non-trivial changes.

|
Extend the ctypes wrapper for the IRMP decoder core. Add routines for
the instance state creation and lock management. Implement metamethods
for Python context managers which lock the instance to protect the C
library's internal state from changing unexpectedly. Add my copyright
for the non-trivial changes.
This commit eliminates the limitation to a single IRMP decoder core for
the sigrok process to use. Multiple Python callers can synchronize their
library use, and see a consistent library state across the scope of the
context manager. It's essential though that callers leave the context
to not block other callers for extended periods of time.
|
|
The IRMP core library is not thread safe (known limitation, heritage of
the AVR firmware origin). Add a mutex so that calling applications can
lock IR decoder core instances. Allow Python threading while waiting for
the locks, we can safely assume that this IRMP wrapper is used in the
sigrok context which does require Python for decoders. Add my copyright
for the non-trivial changes.
This implementation uses glib for locking to improve portability, which
already is a dependency of the libsigrokdecode component. This version
uses belt and suspenders by implementing a constructor as well as adding
auto init calls to each of the public API code paths. The client ID is
not an essential requirement, but useful during application maintenance.
|
|
Platform detection in the external IRMP library works best when either
the WIN32 or the unix identifiers are provided, which the sigrokdecode
build environment derives from other identifiers which are more reliably
available.
It turns out that other external dependencies like glib or Python may
provide some of these identifiers, too. Which results in the compiler
warning about symbols' redefinition. Only define derived identifiers
when they haven't been provided yet.
This amends commit ab88bae1c7b9.

Introduce the public srd_session_send_eof() routine which is backed by
the internal srd_inst_send_eof() helper. Applications can tell decoders
when the input stream of sample data is exhausted, so that decoders can
optionally "flush" their previously accumulated information when
desired. Previous implementations just kept decoders in blocking .wait()
calls and somehow terminated them at arbitrary times afterwards.
When EOF is sent to the decoder session, then calls to the .wait()
method which typically are done from .decode() or its descendents will
end with an EOFError Python exception. Termination of .decode() with the
EOFError exception is non-fatal for backwards compatibility and to keep
the convenience for current decoder implementations. Decoders can either
catch the exception, or use context managers, or do nothing.
This API extension is motivated by research for bug #1581 and provides
the infrastructure to address bug #292. Decoders need to remain careful,
and should not claim that protocol activities would have completed when
their end condition was not even seen in the capture. Marking incomplete
activities with warnings is the most appropriate reaction.
|
|
Rephrase the 'names[]' array declaration in output_type_name() to avoid
the necessity of guessing what the maximum length of the literals might
be during future maintenance. Developers need not care when the compiler
can handle this detail.
|
|
Avoid the full listing of all-zero struct members in sentinel items of
object methods and class properties tables. Use the ALL_ZERO phrase
instead which better reflects what's intended, and reliably silences
warnings should structs' lengths differ across Python versions.
|
|
Some doc strings have become outdated, update them. Some doc strings
were terse, extend them. Ideally protocol decoder authors would be able
to use the builtin documentation to answer questions on data types and
arguments order. This implementation isn't there yet, needs more work.
|
|
Move Python doc strings to the location where methods and classes get
implemented. This improves awareness during maintenance, and allows for
longer text phrases without obfuscating the registration code path.
This commit does not alter the content of existing doc strings, only
moves their location. And keeps related items together when long decls
span multiple text lines (function name and arguments list, args and
kw args), to improve/keep readability.
|
|
Declare ALL_ZERO in the common libsigrokdecode-internal.h header file.
The implementation and the comment on its motivation were taken from the
libsigrok implementation, slightly rephrased for improved readability.
|
|
This provides some future-proofing against newer Python versions.

The concurrent assertion of ATN and EOI is a PP (parallel poll) query.
The host asserts the control signals, and configured devices may assert
the DIO lines in response.
Because DAV is not involved, and because the input capture may not have
DIO at the start of the PP phase, and may neither have DIO any more at
its end, the check for parallel poll is more complex. Unconditionally
inspecting each sample of the capture is inefficient. Keep manipulating
the main loop's wait conditions instead, to stick with edge navigation
as long as possible, and only switch to inspection of individual samples
when strictly needed.
It's also important to gracefully handle low oversampling. Existing test
cases suffered from PP glitches when ATN asserted in the same location
where EOI deasserted. Be extra conservative about the presence of the
PP phase, expect at least two samples (a difference between its start
and end position) before emitting the annotation.

The description text of the Commodore peripherals option spanned a

For now, libsigrokdecode clients expect to receive a 1:1 number of
input samples to logic output samples, along with a logic output
samplerate equal to the PD's input sample rate
|
|
This means that the samplerate for logic output channels is
implicitly determined by the input channel samplerate.
The motivation for this is that hard-coding a samplerate isn't
possible - but at the same time, it's also not possible to
determine the samplerate at the time the logic output channels
are initialized, as the samplerate can be set at runtime.
From my point of view, we would need one of two mechanisms to
make this work:
1) Allow creation of logic outputs at runtime via some
registration callback
or
2) Allow changing a logic output's samplerate after it has been
created, again requiring some kind of callback
To me, both currently are overkill because making the assumption
that samplerate_in = samplerate_out not only makes this problem
go away as it can easily be handled on the client side where
samplerate_in is already known, it also makes handling of the
logic data in the PDs easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Protocol decoders can now declare an arbitrary number of logic output
channels with a fixed assumed samplerate each.
|
|
"Un-clutter" the decode() routine. Group related instructions to improve
readability. Drop redundant statements where common code can handle all
cases. Also fixes an unconditional access to the optional decimal point
input signal (which had caused a runtime error, and ceased decoding).

The 'parallel' decoder supported 32 channels when it was introduced.
Commit a3b4f1684a8f lowered the channel count to 8 which is quite a
small number. Increase the number of supported channels to 16 again.
This should result in increased usability while keeping an acceptable
UI dialog size for the decoder properties.
|
|
Update the decoder's doc string to catch up with recent extensions.
Rephrase how clock and data lines interact. Sparse assignment of data
lines is supported (has been for a while). Discuss the optional reset
signal and its enable/select use.
|

The parallel decoder documented the layout of the Python output but used
to emit something different (mere data values). Add the bit width of
data items and the bus cycle count for demultiplexed words, to match the
documented layout.
No harm was done, there are no in-tree decoders which stack on top of
the parallel decoder.
|
|
Straighten the accumulation of words from bit chunks that are spread
across several bus cycles (multiplexed transmission). Simplify the PD's
instance variables, keep more state in local vars and explicitly pass
related information to API calls. This also unobfuscates the emission
of annotations and simplifies future maintenance.
Split the accumulation of word data and the emission of its annotation
such that reset related activity can flush accumulated data. Introduce a
warning when word data gets emitted which does not match the configured
word width (early de-assertion of select/enable, or unexpected reset).
Presenting this data and amending it with a warning is considered more
desirable than not seeing the data at all. This does not affect previous
use cases since support for the reset signal was only introduced lately.
Also emit annotations in a more logical order. It's unexpected to see
the resulting word before its last item is seen. Graphical presentation
may not care but automated processing of the decoder output will. This
is the previous order of annotation emission which is surprising and got
fixed in this commit:
3768240-4118229 parallel: item: "3"
3768240-4468218 parallel: word: "33"

6168162-6468152 parallel: word: "0c"
6268157-6468152 parallel: item: "c"
This adjusted emission order won't pass the current test implementation,
but manual inspection of the output reveals that all the expected data
is present and matches previously extracted information:

Add an optional 'reset' signal of user configurable polarity. When the
signal is asserted, the data lines are not interpreted. Assertion will
flush previously accumulated data bits and words. Deassertion can help
synchronize to input streams when the capture started in the middle of
a word. Despite the "reset" name this signal can also be thought of as
"enable" or "select", and increases the versatility and usefulness of
the parallel decoder beyond strictly parallel memory busses.
Construct the list of .wait() conditions and track the positions of
individual terms in that list. This is necessary because "always false"
conditions are not available, thus pin/channel indices and .matched[]
indices don't correspond for sparse input signal assignments.
Accept when previously gathered information became void again, and
re-use existing initialization code for reset related activity.
|
|
Add 'either' as another choice in addition to rising and falling clock
edge. This is useful since parallel busses exist which communicate at
double data rate (DDR).
Unobfuscate the mapping between displayed option text and .wait()
condition codes while we are here.
|

Strictly speaking this decoder considers all input signals as optional.
The previous version accepted clock alone. Though reading values from
zero data bits is of limited. Tighten the check for connected inputs.
Inline the declaration of all channels in the decoder boiler plate, the
helper routine was only used in a single spot. Change the order of the
data lines stripe details and the .wait() conditions, improve locality
of assignment and use of related variables.
Don't assume that "all channels but clock" are data lines. Use a
symbolic upper bound for the data lines partition, to prepare the
introduction of a reset/enable signal.

Concentrate tunables at the top of the source code. Eliminate magic
numbers by replacing them with symbolic identifiers.

The 0.652ms STOP bit width must have been a typo (though consistent in
the previous implementation), it's not half of the 1.125ms ZERO symbol.
Notice that this is an incompatible change to the decoder implementation.
It affects the annotations for STOP bits and overall REMOTE button codes.
|
|
Extend comments on the IR NEC timing details. Sort the symbols by their
width to reflect their relation (ONE to ZERO to STOP is each half of
their predecessor's width).
Increase the open coded tolerance percentage, and remove the option for
the value. Make sure leader and repeat codes still can be told from each
other.
|
|
Move IR NEC protocol timing details to the top of the source file, for
raised awareness and easier adjustment. Specs are "unit-less" (only have
comments), but are scaled for improved readability. Values are copies of
the previous implementation.
|
|
Provide an option to have the decoder automatically detect the IR signal's
polarity. Stick with active-low by default for backwards compatibility,
because this auto-detect implementation assumes that the capture starts
with an idle phase.
[ gsi: rephrased message and implementation, auto-detect off by default ]
|
|
Provide an option to adjust the IR NEC decoder's tolerance. Which makes
signals accessible that are generated by cheap remotes which would not
decode at all with the previous implementation and its fixed limit.
[ gsi: rephrased commit message and implementation ]
|
|
Emit annotations for the current IR frame as soon as possible, at the
very end of the STOP bit. Don't defer annotation emission until the
start of the next frame is seen. This unbreaks captures where the last
IR frame would not decode before.

The Joy-it SBC-IRC01 remote control appears as address 0x00.

Assume a maximum memory capacity, currently open coded, could become a
user servicable option when needed. Automatically flush the accumulated
outgoing data when a memory read reaches address 256.
Drop the unconditional START condition check now that it became obsolete.
|
|
The protocol is clocked, so strictly does not depend on the samplerate.
When the samplerate is available, the duration of internal processing
(memory erase and write) can get annotated. It's an optional feature.
The datasheet suggests that write and erase time are in the range of a
few milliseconds. Normalize to ms units and provide 10us resolution.
|
|
Rephrase how the decoder's progress during data interpretation gets
tracked. Extend the set of .wait() conditions in the main loop, and
determine START/STOP conditions and BIT validity there already, which
reduces redundancy with called handlers.
Increase the decoder's coverage of the memory card's feature set and
constraints. Handle the optional CLK during RST, to tell interrupted
memory access from card reset. Interpret known command codes, to present
their meaning and arguments to users, and to tell "outgoing data" (the
card's memory content) from "internal processing" (providing clock until
the card signals completion of a write access). Get initial statistics
on internal processing (clock count, and terminal I/O level, no duration
in units of wall clock time yet).
Unfortunately there is no reliable condition to detect the end of a
memory read when it executes to the end of the memory card's capacity.
That's why START detection is more greedy than specified, to reliably
re-sync to subsequent commands and their byte sequences.
Arrange for an improved set of annotation rows with symbols (bit level),
fields (data bytes), and operations details (summary of memory access
including protection).
Rename the binary output. It carries "any bytes" which were seen, the
command bytes as well as response data bytes.
