2023-07-18eeprom24xx: avoid access to caller's data after validity endsGerhard Sittig
The at24 EEPROM decoder's previous implementation happened to access caller's data even after the .decode() method invocation ended, and their content has changed or the data was not valid any longer. Get deep copies for those details which broke the test suite. Prepare "generous" deep copies for other data which currently doesn't trigger exceptions, but might be waiting for an accident to happen. Careful inspection of the complex implementation and relaxing the current greed of this commit remains for future commits. Comment heavily for awareness. It is assumed that the 'databyte' name is misleading. And that much of this upper layer decoder's complexity would be obsoleted by the lower layer decoder's providing more useful packets (bytes and their ACK state, read/write phases of transfers, complete transfers up to STOP, etc). This commit does not address those readability or layering concerns.
2023-07-18i2cfilter: rephrase decoder implementation for maintainabilityGerhard Sittig
The previous implementation suffered from a severe issue (it kept referencing caller's data beyond its validity) and from style issues (redundant details, conditions scattered across distant locations). Rephrase (actually rework) the decoder implementation to improve readability as well as maintainability. Extend the TODO list while the existing logic better lends itself to future extensions. Reword comments while we are here. Some earlier constraints no longer apply or were unfortunately phrased.
2023-07-18i2c: add support for 10bit slave addressesGerhard Sittig
Slave addresses can be of 7bit or 10bit type, which occupies one or two bytes at the start of the frame. Detect when a 10bit address is seen, and classify the following byte as yet another address byte (which the previous implementation incorrectly classified as data byte). This commit only accumulates the address value and adjusts the class of annotations. It does not introduce new annotation classes or rows, to not change the decoder in incompatible ways.
2023-07-18i2c: rename variables and adjust data types for readabilityGerhard Sittig
Use longer names for variables and adjust their data types to improve readability of the "is write?", "is repeated start?" conditions. Use a boolean when the condition is known, and preset to None when the state is yet uncertain. Rename .bits[] to .data_bits[] to reflect that they exclusively hold the byte's bits and not the ACK/NAK bit.
2023-01-09adf435x: add support for register field content warningsGerhard Sittig
Add support for register field content checkers, and emit warning annotations when they yield non-empty results. Implement a checker for the INT field of register R0. Reduce the allowed values' lower limit from 32 (previous implementation) to 23 (ADF4350 datasheet, figure 24).
2023-01-09adf435x: shuffle register description tableGerhard Sittig
Move table columns, put the bit field position to the front before the name to get a less fragile visual appearance. All fields have a position and a name (of variable length), some of them have a "parser" (actually a formatter for their content). Address Python style while we are here: Prefer tuples over lists for immutable data. Add trailing commas to reduce future diff sizes. Add a TODO comment about optional content checkers. The current decoder implementation lets invalid register data pass unnoticed. [ see a word diff for the commit's essence ]
2023-01-09adf435x: rephrase table lookups for display textsGerhard Sittig
Try a different presentation of exising information in the register fields' display text construction (extra parsers for known fields). Attempt a source code format which hopefully better lends itself to index range verification during review. Make the number of available expansion texts stand out more visually, so that readers can compare their count to the register field's width. Address those register fields with four or more expansion values, keep the simple single bit cases as they are. Add a comment for awareness.
2023-01-09adf435x: use .format() for Python string formattingGerhard Sittig
Rephrase the old style '%' operator string formatting, prefer .format() calls instead. It is assumed that routine call argument lists are more readable than optional/conditional tuples are, and not running format specifiers and literal text into each other helps readability as well, as do the .format() routine's optionally named references to parameters. Avoid text formatting which involves concatenation, always work from one single format instruction instead.
2023-01-09adf435x: factor out inspection of 32bit wordsGerhard Sittig
Move the inspection of a completed 32bit word into the .decode_word() routine. This simplifies checks for fatal constraints, as well as optional inspection of deeper detail levels when extra parsers are available. Rename variables in the code path which accumulate bits. Add comments to helper routines and to essential steps in complex interpretation code paths. Eliminate the unused return value of the .decode_field() method. Results in a lean and readable .decode() body.
2023-01-09adf435x: rework emission of annotationsGerhard Sittig
Separate data processing from text formatting in the code paths which emit annotations. Introduce a local .putg() helper. This unobfuscates the decoder's operation, and also happens to shorten text lines. Raises awareness for zoom levels and alternative text during maintenance. This commit incompatibly rephrases the "Wrong number of bits" message.
2023-01-09adf435x: Python list idioms in bits sequence accumulationGerhard Sittig
Use .extend() and .clear() for the Python list during accumulation of a 32bit word's bits sequence. This shall improve readability. Performance is less of an issue since this decoder's data amount remains small (32bit entities per SPI transfer). Comment on the unexpected(?) SPI decoder's BITS ordering when passing details up to stacked decoders. Raise and keep awareness for this non-obvious implementation detail during decoder maintenance. This implementation accumulates bits in the MSB order as they are sent in SPI frames. Yet keeps the LSB bit order when a completely accumulated 32bit word gets inspected, to reduce the diff size. Bit field extraction and annotation emission code paths assume a specific timestamp ordering. The separation of transport and inspection also simplifies maintenance, should a future SPI decoder provide BITS in their received order.
2023-01-09adf435x: use common bits to number conversion helperGerhard Sittig
Use common support code to convert bit fields to integer numbers. Also unobfuscate the decode_bits() method and its returned values' layout. Improves readability and factors out common expressions.
2023-01-09adf435x: Move decoder logic to SPI transfersVesa-Pekka Palmu
The previous implementation of the ADF435x decoder assumed knowledge of internal details which are the SPI transport layer's responsibility. And encoded an inappropriate chip select polarity in the process (falling CS edge). The datasheet specifies that previously clocked in data bits get latched on rising LE edges. Not all setups were affected, that's why the issue went unnoticed before. Use the lower layer's TRANSFER annotation to process the completion of an ADF435x register access, after BITS annotations made the location of individual bits available. The LE (CS) signal's polarity remains a detail of the SPI decoding layer, and must be configured there. The SPI decoder's default matches the ADF435x chip's expectation. This fixes bug #1814. Reported-by: Martin Homuth-Rosemann <homuth-rosemann@gmx.net>
2023-01-09adf435x: Add warning on frame size mismatchVesa-Pekka Palmu
Check the bit count of SPI transfers. Only start inspecting ADF435x register content when the accumulation of the expected 32bit word has completed. Emit a warning annotation for unexpected transfer sizes.
2023-01-09adf435x: Clean up SPI data inputVesa-Pekka Palmu
Avoid generic variable names. Only unpack parameters which are provided by the lower layer decoder after the stacked decoder checked their type and is aware of their meaning.
2022-10-03parallel: flush accumulated data when input data is exhaustedGerhard Sittig
The "parallel" decoder buffers the currently seen data pattern, and defers annotation emission until the end position is known. Which is why the last data pattern would not show up in the decoder's output. See bug #292 and its duplicates for examples and concerns. Catch the EOFError exception, and flush previously accumulated data. It is yet to get determined whether a warning annotation is due. Most probably not for "parallel" which merely visualizes data line states. But other decoders which have the concept of frames shall NOT follow this "parallel" decoder's naive approach, and claim that a frame had completed although its end condition was never seen. Add a developer TODO comment to raise awareness.
2022-04-23uart: don't re-calculate in-frame bit position, just count the bitsGerhard Sittig
The .get_wait_cond() routine kept re-calculating the current bit index in the currently inspected UART frame. Just count the bits instead as they are seen/taken. This eliminates redundant complex logic which had hard to track down issues in past revisions. Increases robustness, and improves maintainability.
2022-04-23uart: handle two stop bits configurationGerhard Sittig
Sample and process multiple STOP bits as specified, add 2.0 to the list of supported configurations. This implementation works as expected with integer numbers of STOP bits (0, 1, 2). For half-bits the sample point as well as the annotation position will be incorrect (as a result of an internal implementation detail of the existing decoder which is not easy to address). This commit reduces the diff size, and remains backwards bug-compatible. Fixing the bit boundaries in annotations including support for half-bits is more involved, and remains for a later commit.
2022-04-23uart: handle zero stop bits configurationGerhard Sittig
Use common code to advance internal state during UART frame inspection. This reduces redundancy, and improves robustness. Data bits collectors need not worry about the optional presence of subsequent fields (parity, stop bits, both can be absent). Improve the separation of implementation details of the lower layer UART frame decoding from upper layer protocol handling. Concentrate the post processing of UART frames, BREAK and IDLE conditions in the source, and keep the ss/es determination at the caller which detected the condition by arbitrary means. This unbreaks the decoder's operation when 0 stop bits are configured. The implementation still assumes that the line goes idle between frames even when zero stop bits are configured. Strictly speaking this decoder now copes with traffic that uses "less than half a stop bit".
2022-04-23sbus_futaba: add decoder for SBUS hobby remote control by FutabaGerhard Sittig
This is the SBUS remote control by Futaba, the 25 bytes on top of UART. Not the computer peripheral bus. Hence the suffix in the decoder name. The implementation was tested with synthetic data. Example captures with real world data have yet to become available. This implementation shows the message framing, the proportional and digital channels' values, and the flags. Several warnings for short and long and invalid messages are implemented, as are user adjustable channel value range limits. The boilerplate may need adjustment. All naming was made up by me based on what information was available (vendor doc was missing).
2021-12-26ir_irmp: sigrok PD, make use of IRMP decoder core lockingGerhard Sittig
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.
2021-12-26ir_irmp: Python binding, support instance locking and context managerGerhard Sittig
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.

2021-06-21ieee488: add support for parallel poll (PP)Gerhard Sittig
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.
2021-06-21ieee488: shorten an option description for consistency across dialogsGerhard Sittig
The description text of the Commodore peripherals option spanned a rather wide space. Trim the text for consistency with other options.
2021-06-21ieee488: support optional parity for ATN commands (for HP gear)Gerhard Sittig
HP gear is said to sometimes send commands (ATN asserted) with a parity. Introduce an option to check and strip the MSB before interpretation. Reported-By: Anders Gustafsson <Anders.Gustafsson@pedago.fi>

2021-02-13pca9571/tca6408a: Rework logic outputSoeren Apel
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
2021-02-13Remove samplerate from srd_decoder_logic_output_channelSoeren Apel
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.

2021-01-13seven_segment: cosmetics in decode(), reduce redundancyGerhard Sittig
"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).
2021-01-13seven_segment: document segment layout for awareness during maintenanceGerhard Sittig
Add a comment to the table which maps LED segment combinations to their textual presentation. Mention the table's sort order for awareness, and provide column captions as well as a segment layout illustration to simplify maintenance. The LED segment layout comment was Submitted-by: Ben Gardiner <ben.l.gardiner@gmail.com>
2021-01-13seven_segment: expand to a full alphabetBen Gardiner
Expand the list of characters that will be recognized by the seven segment decoder to include many display character 'encodings.' Including some punctuation characters and tricky letters like W and V. Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <ben.l.gardiner@gmail.com> [ gsi: sort by ASCII codes (keep ignoring letter case) ]
2020-11-22seven_segment: add option to display unknown charactersBen Gardiner

2020-11-11parallel: increase number of data lines to 16Gerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-11parallel: update builtin documentationGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-11parallel: adjust Python output to match its documentationGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-11parallel: rephrase word accumulation after reset introductionGerhard Sittig
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: parallel/hd44780_word_demux/annotation ..................................... Output mismatch Testcase: parallel/hd44780_word_demux/annotation Test output mismatch: + 4118229-4468218 parallel: item: "3" - 4118229-4468218 parallel: item: "3" + 4818202-5268189 parallel: item: "2" - 4818202-5268189 parallel: item: "2" + 5368185-5568180 parallel: item: "8" - 5368185-5568180 parallel: item: "8" + 5668176-5868171 parallel: item: "8" - 5668176-5868171 parallel: item: "8" + 5968166-6168162 parallel: item: "1" - 5968166-6168162 parallel: item: "1" + 6268157-6468152 parallel: item: "c" - 6268157-6468152 parallel: item: "c"
2020-11-11parallel: add support for optional reset/enable/select signalGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-11parallel: add option to sample data on either clock edgeGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-11parallel: rephrase handling of data lines, symbolic upper boundGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-11-07parallel: symbolic names for pins and annotation classesGerhard Sittig
Concentrate tunables at the top of the source code. Eliminate magic numbers by replacing them with symbolic identifiers.
2020-08-30ir_nec: fix typo in STOP bit widthGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-08-30ir_nec: sort and comment timing specs, drop tolerance optionGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-08-30ir_nec: concentrate timing at the top of the source fileGerhard Sittig
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.
2020-08-30ir_nec: Add option for automatic polarity detectionBenediktO
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 ]
2020-08-30ir_nec: Make the tolerance configurableBenediktO
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 ]
