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"
4118229-4468218 parallel: item: "3"
4468218-4818202 parallel: item: "3"
4468218-5268189 parallel: word: "32"
4818202-5268189 parallel: item: "2"
5268189-5368185 parallel: item: "2"
5268189-5568180 parallel: word: "28"
5368185-5568180 parallel: item: "8"
5568180-5668176 parallel: item: "0"
5568180-5868171 parallel: word: "08"
5668176-5868171 parallel: item: "8"
5868171-5968166 parallel: item: "0"
5868171-6168162 parallel: word: "01"
5968166-6168162 parallel: item: "1"
6168162-6268157 parallel: item: "0"
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.
|
|

Users may not know which unit the "wordsize" is supposed to get
specified in. Especially when it's not a number of bits, but instead
the number of bus cycles. Expand the description text accordingly.
|
|
Print all annotations for individual data bit items and for the
de-multiplexed words in a consistent style with leading zeros and
constant width. This shall lend itself better to quick navigation
during visual inspection, as well as automatic processing.
|
|
The previous implementation prepared but never fully enabled the
accumulation of several multi-bit items into words that span multiple
bus cycles (think: address or data de-multiplexing on memory busses).
Complete the accumulation, and fixup the end samplenumber for word
annotations. Fixup the endianess logic (the condition was inverted).
Rephrase calculation to be more Python idiomatic.
Default to word size zero, and only emit word annotations for non-zero
word size specs. This keeps the implementation backwards compatible and
still passes the test suite. Default behaviour is most appropriate for
interactive use in GUI environments, while automated processing will
find consistent behaviour across all setups (non-multiplexed busses, and
multiplexed busses with "words" that span one or multiple cycles).
|
|
Cope when users only provide e.g. input lines D0 and D2 to the parallel
decoder. Assume that not-connected pins are "always zero".
Rephrase the .decode() logic which determines .wait() conditions while
we are here, to slightly unobfuscate the implementation.
This fixes bug #1088.
|
|
Remove the redundant .itemcount variable, which exactly corresponds to
the length of the .items array.
Arrange retrieval of options and their evaluation closer to each other
for improved readability.
Use common logic to construct "words" from several multi-bit "items".
Arrange for endianess support by optionally reversing the array before
traversal.
|
|
Instead of implementing two main loops for operation in the presence and
in the absence of a clock line, use a common main loop which operates on
pre-determined wait conditions.
|
|
Move initialization code of protocol decoders from the constructor to a
new reset() helper method. The libsigrokdecode backend could run this
method several times to clear the decoder's internal state, before new
data from another acquisition gets fed to decode() calls.
|
|
This allows frontends to set the assumed initial pins (i.e., the assumed
state of the pins before the first sample of a capture) to user-specified
values.
The assumed initial pins can be either low, or high, or "use same value
as the first sample of the capture".
The special self.initial_pins decoder attribute is now removed.
|
|
Some PDs were using a temporary workaround for (as it turned out) a
refcounting issue that was fixed in 066fbafdc3ba734a73b5f7fcfa1dbae67ddebf8a.
|
|
Remove the FSF postal address as it might change (it did in the past).
Reference the gnu.org website instead which is more stable.
|
|
|
|
Anything else in the pd.py files doesn't have to be imported/exposed.
|
|
|
|
- No newlines at the end of files.
- No trailing ';' characters.
- Comparison with None: Use 'is None' or 'is not None'.
- Comparison with True/False: Use 'if cond:' or 'if not cond:'.
- Various minor whitespace fixes.
|
|
In all current PDs it is not necessary to raise an exception upon
invalid states (of the PD's state machine), since we can guarantee that
no such invalid state can ever be reached in these PDs.
|
|
Older libsigrokdecode versions are no longer able to use the current
versions of the PDs (various changes in syntax etc).
|
|
Variables of type 'struct srd_channel *' are consistently named 'pdch' to
make them easily distinguishable from libsigrok's 'struct sr_channel *'
variables that are consistently named 'ch'.
|
|
|
|
Annotation entries also consist of a tuple, not a list.
|
|
|
|
Each option consists of a dictionary with the following keys:
id The option id, which is passed in when setting a value.
desc A description of the option, suitable for display.
def The default value for this option.
values (optional) If present, a tuple containing values the option
may take. They must be of the same type as the default.
Valid types for the options are UTF-8-encoded strings, integers, and
floating point values.
|
|
The output type is now called OUTPUT_PYTHON, adapt all PDs to that.
|
|
The single comment re-stating the PD's name / description / purpose in
each pd.py file is not really needed, that info is available in the
Decoder class' attributes already.
|
|
When no CLK probe is supplied to this PD, handle any transition on
any of the supplied data probes as if there had been a CLK transition.
(based on a suggestion/patch by "bmx" from the #sigrok channel, thanks!)

This fixes bug #202.

This automatically figures out the files to install for each protocol
decoder, without involving autotools.
All python files (filenames ending in .py) are always installed. If a
protocol decoder requires installation of a non-python file, a small
file called 'config' can be created in that protocol decoder's
directory, with the following content:
# comments are ok
extra-install vendorlist.txt commands.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
This better reflects what it is: a python object generated and
processed by python code.
|
|
This will be increased again at some later point.
