# See the https://www.pjon.org/ PJON project page and especially the
# https://www.pjon.org/PJDL-specification-v4.1.php PJDL v4.1 spec for
# the "Padded Jittering Data Link" single wire serial data link layer.

# TODO
# - Improve (fix, and extend) carrier sense support. Detection of the
#   idle/busy connection state is incomplete and fragile. Getting 'IDLE'
#   operational in the PJDL decoder would greatly help the PJON decoder
#   to flush ACK details before the start of new frames.
# - Check the correctness of timing assumptions. This implementation has
#   support for tolerances, which the spec does not discuss. Though real
#   world traffic was found to not decode at all with strict spec values
#   and without tolerances, while communication peers were able to talk
#   to each other. This needs more attention.
# - Check robustness when input data contains glitches. The spec does
#   not discuss how to handle these. Data bit sampling happens to work
#   because their value is taken at the center of the bit time. But
#   pad bits suffer badly from glitches, which breaks frame inspection
#   as well.
# - Cleanup the decoder implementation in general terms. Some details
#   have become obsolete ("edges", "pads"), and/or are covered by other
#   code paths.
# - Implement more data link decoders which can feed their output into
#   the PJON protocol decoder. Candidates are: PJDLR, PJDLS, TSDL.
# - Determine whether or not the data link layer should interpret any
#   frame content. From my perspective it should not, and needs not in
#   the strict sense. Possible gains would be getting the (expected!)
#   packet length, or whether a synchronous response is requested. But
#   this would duplicate knowledge which should remain internal to the
#   PJON decoder. And this link layer decoder neither shall assume that
#   the input data would be correct, or complete. Instead the decoder
#   shall remain usable on captures which demonstrate faults, and be
#   helpful in pointing them out. The design goal is to extract the
#   maximum of information possible, and pass it on as transparently
#   as possible.

'''
OUTPUT_PYTHON format for stacked decoders:

General packet format:
[<ptype>, <pdata>]

This is the list of <ptype>s and their respective <pdata> values:

Carrier sense:
- 'IDLE': <pdata> is the pin level (always 0).
- 'BUSY': <pdata> is always True.

Raw bit slots:
- 'PAD_BIT': <pdata> is the pin level (always 1).
- 'DATA_BIT': <pdata> is the pin level (0, or 1).
- 'SHORT_BIT': <pdata> is the pin level (always 1).
- 'SYNC_LOSS': <pdata> is an arbitrary text (internal use only).

Date bytes and frames:
- 'SYNC_PAD': <pdata> is True. Spans the high pad bit as well as the
  low data bit.
- 'DATA_BYTE': <pdata> is the byte value (0..255).
- 'FRAME_INIT': <pdata> is True. Spans three sync pads.
- 'FRAME_DATA': <pdata> is the sequence of bytes in the frame. Non-data
  phases in the frame get represented by strings instead of numbers
  ('INIT', 'SYNC', 'SHORT', 'WAIT'). Frames can be incomplete, depending
  on the decoder's input data.
- 'SYNC_RESP_WAIT': <pdata> is always True.

Notice that this link layer decoder is not aware of frame content. Will
neither check packet length, nor variable width fields, nor verify the
presence of requested synchronous responses. Cannot tell the sequence of
frame bytes then ACK bytes (without wait phase) from just frame bytes.
An upper layer protocol decoder will interpret content, the link layer
decoder remains as transparent as possible, and will neither assume
correct nor complete input data.
