'''
This protocol decoder handles the 1-Wire link layer.

The 1-Wire protocol enables bidirectional communication over a single wire
(and ground) between a single master and one or multiple slaves. The protocol
is layered:

 - Link layer (reset, presence detection, reading/writing bits)
 - Network layer (skip/search/match device ROM addresses)
 - Transport layer (transport data between 1-Wire master and device)

Sample rate:
A sufficiently high samplerate is required to properly detect all the elements
of the protocol. A lower samplerate can be used if the master does not use
overdrive communication speed. The following minimal values should be used:

 - overdrive available: 2MHz minimum, 5MHz suggested
 - overdrive not available: 400kHz minimum, 1MHz suggested

Channels:
1-Wire requires a single signal, but some master implementations might have a
separate signal used to deliver power to the bus during temperature conversion
as an example. This power signal is currently not used.

 - owr (1-Wire signal line)
 - pwr (optional, dedicated power supply pin)

Options:
1-Wire is an asynchronous protocol, so the decoder must know the samplerate.
The timing for sampling bits, presence, and reset is calculated by the decoder,
but in case the user wishes to use different values, it is possible to
configure the following timing values (number of samplerate periods):

 - overdrive              (if active the decoder will be prepared for overdrive)
 - cnt_normal_bit         (time for normal mode sample bit)
 - cnt_normal_slot        (time for normal mode data slot)
 - cnt_normal_presence    (time for normal mode sample presence)
 - cnt_normal_reset       (time for normal mode reset)
 - cnt_overdrive_bit      (time for overdrive mode sample bit)
 - cnt_overdrive_slot     (time for overdrive mode data slot)
 - cnt_overdrive_presence (time for overdrive mode sample presence)
 - cnt_overdrive_reset    (time for overdrive mode reset)

These options should be configured only on very rare cases and the user should
read the decoder source code to understand them correctly.
