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 # import sigrokdecode # States WAIT_FOR_START_BIT = 0 GET_START_BIT = 1 GET_DATA_BITS = 2 GET_PARITY_BIT = 3 GET_STOP_BITS = 4 # Parity options PARITY_NONE = 0 PARITY_ODD = 1 PARITY_EVEN = 2 PARITY_ZERO = 3 PARITY_ONE = 4 # Stop bit options STOP_BITS_0_5 = 0 STOP_BITS_1 = 1 STOP_BITS_1_5 = 2 STOP_BITS_2 = 3 # Bit order options LSB_FIRST = 0 MSB_FIRST = 1 # Output data formats DATA_FORMAT_ASCII = 0 DATA_FORMAT_HEX = 1 # Given a parity type to check (odd, even, zero, one), the value of the # parity bit, the value of the data, and the length of the data (5-9 bits, # usually 8 bits) return True if the parity is correct, False otherwise. # PARITY_NONE is _not_ allowed as value for 'parity_type'. def parity_ok(parity_type, parity_bit, data, num_data_bits): # Handle easy cases first (parity bit is always 1 or 0). if parity_type == PARITY_ZERO: return parity_bit == 0 elif parity_type == PARITY_ONE: return parity_bit == 1 # Count number of 1 (high) bits in the data (and the parity bit itself!). parity = bin(data).count('1') + parity_bit # Check for odd/even parity. if parity_type == PARITY_ODD: return (parity % 2) == 1 elif parity_type == PARITY_EVEN: return (parity % 2) == 0 else: raise Exception('Invalid parity type: %d' % parity_type) class Decoder(sigrokdecode.Decoder): id = 'uart' name = 'UART' longname = 'Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)' desc = 'Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)' longdesc = 'TODO.' author = 'Uwe Hermann' email = 'uwe@hermann-uwe.de' license = 'gplv2+' inputs = ['logic'] outputs = ['uart'] probes = [ # Allow specifying only one of the signals, e.g. if only one data # direction exists (or is relevant). {'id': 'rx', 'name': 'RX', 'desc': 'UART receive line'}, {'id': 'tx', 'name': 'TX', 'desc': 'UART transmit line'}, ] options = { 'baudrate': ['UART baud rate', 115200], 'num_data_bits': ['Data bits', 8], # Valid: 5-9.
