25#
26# Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) is a simple serial
27# communication protocol which allows two devices to talk to each other.
28#
29# It uses just two data signals and a ground (GND) signal:
30# - RX/RXD: Receive signal
31# - TX/TXD: Transmit signal
32#
33# The protocol is asynchronous, i.e., there is no dedicated clock signal.
34# Rather, both devices have to agree on a baudrate (number of bits to be
35# transmitted per second) beforehand. Baudrates can be arbitrary in theory,
36# but usually the choice is limited by the hardware UARTs that are used.
37# Common values are 9600 or 115200.
38#
39# The protocol allows full-duplex transmission, i.e. both devices can send
40# data at the same time. However, unlike SPI (which is always full-duplex,
41# i.e., each send operation is automatically also a receive operation), UART
42# allows one-way communication, too. In such a case only one signal (and GND)
43# is required.
44#
45# The data is sent over the TX line in so-called 'frames', which consist of:
46# - Exactly one start bit (always 0/low).
47# - Between 5 and 9 data bits.
48# - An (optional) parity bit.
49# - One or more stop bit(s).
50#
51# The idle state of the RX/TX line is 1/high. As the start bit is 0/low, the
52# receiver can continually monitor its RX line for a falling edge, in order
53# to detect the start bit.
54#
55# Once detected, it can (due to the agreed-upon baudrate and thus the known
56# width/duration of one UART bit) sample the state of the RX line "in the
57# middle" of each (start/data/parity/stop) bit it wants to analyze.
58#
59# It is configurable whether there is a parity bit in a frame, and if yes,
60# which type of parity is used:
61# - None: No parity bit is included.
62# - Odd: The number of 1 bits in the data (and parity bit itself) is odd.
63# - Even: The number of 1 bits in the data (and parity bit itself) is even.
64# - Mark/one: The parity bit is always 1/high (also called 'mark state').
65# - Space/zero: The parity bit is always 0/low (also called 'space state').
66#
67# It is also configurable how many stop bits are to be used:
68# - 1 stop bit (most common case)
69# - 2 stop bits
70# - 1.5 stop bits (i.e., one stop bit, but 1.5 times the UART bit width)
71# - 0.5 stop bits (i.e., one stop bit, but 0.5 times the UART bit width)
72#
73# The bit order of the 5-9 data bits is LSB-first.
74#
75# Possible special cases:
76# - One or both data lines could be inverted, which also means that the idle
77# state of the signal line(s) is low instead of high.
78# - Only the data bits on one or both data lines (and the parity bit) could
79# be inverted (but the start/stop bits remain non-inverted).
80# - The bit order could be MSB-first instead of LSB-first.
81# - The baudrate could change in the middle of the communication. This only
82# happens in very special cases, and can only work if both devices know
83# to which baudrate they are to switch, and when.
84# - Theoretically, the baudrate on RX and the one on TX could also be
85# different, but that's a very obscure case and probably doesn't happen
86# very often in practice.
87#
88# Error conditions:
89# - If there is a parity bit, but it doesn't match the expected parity,
90# this is called a 'parity error'.
91# - If there are no stop bit(s), that's called a 'frame error'.

98# Protocol output format:
99# put(<startsample>, <endsample>, self.out_proto, <packet>)
100#
101# The <packet> is a list with two entries:
102# [<packet-type>, <packet-data>]
103#
104# Valid packet-type values: T_START, T_DATA, T_PARITY, T_STOP, T_INVALID_START,
105# T_INVALID_STOP, T_PARITY_ERROR
106#
107# The packet-data field has the following format and meaning:
108# - T_START: The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0 or 1).
109# - T_DATA: The data is the (integer) value of the UART data. Valid values
110# range from 0 to 512 (as the data can be up to 9 bits in size).
111# - T_PARITY: The data is the (integer) value of the parity bit (0 or 1).
112# - T_STOP: The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0 or 1).
113# - T_INVALID_START: The data is the (integer) value of the start bit (0 or 1).
114# - T_INVALID_STOP: The data is the (integer) value of the stop bit (0 or 1).
115# - T_PARITY_ERROR: The data is a tuple with two entries. The first one is
116# the expected parity value, the second is the actual parity value.
117#
118# Examples:
119# [T_START, 0]
120# [T_DATA, 65]
121# [T_PARITY, 0]
122# [T_STOP, 1]
123# [T_INVALID_START, 1]
124# [T_INVALID_STOP, 0]
125# [T_PARITY_ERROR, (0, 1)]
