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: # [, , ] # # This is the list of s and their respective : # - T_START: The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0 or 1). # - T_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). # - T_PARITY: The data is the (integer) value of the parity bit (0 or 1). # - T_STOP: The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0 or 1). # - T_INVALID_START: The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0 or 1). # - T_INVALID_STOP: The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0 or 1). # - T_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. # # The field is 0 for RX packets, 1 for TX packets. # import sigrokdecode as srd # States WAIT_FOR_START_BIT = 0 GET_START_BIT = 1 GET_DATA_BITS = 2 GET_PARITY_BIT = 3 GET_STOP_BITS = 4 # Used for differentiating between the two data directions.
