Description of the data exchange protocol between LPC2378 and COM-Express module over USB
Most of the I/Os comming with Robotino 3 are still connected to a NXP LPC2378 microcontroller (MC). In contrast to previous versions of Robotino the interface between the MC and Robotino's internal industral PC is no longer RS232 but USB. This page describes the protocol used for communication between MC and PC over USB.
Package assembly
All data send from PC to MC and vice versa has the form
Field name | Bytes | Description |
---|---|---|
Head | 1 | Start of package |
Length | 2 | Length of package payload |
Payload | Payload data | |
Checksum | 2 | Calculated from length and payload bytes |
Head
The package header is the unique byte 0xAA.
Length
The number of bytes of the (not escaped) payload data.
package[1] = length & 0xFF; package[2] = 0xFF & ( length >> 8 );
Payload
The package payload data. The payload is composed of one or more commands. The payload send to the LPC2378 must not be larger than 128 bytes.
Checksum
Complement 2 of the sum of Length and Payload bytes before escaping.
uint16 calculate_checksum( const uint8* data, int dataSize ) { uint16 out = 0; for( int i=0; i<dataSize; ++i ) { out += *p; ++data; } return 0xffff & ( (1<<16) - out ); }
Data escaping
The Head byte 0xAA must be unique through out all data send. By this the receiver knows that whenever it reads 0xAA that a new package begins. This is achieved by going through all the Length, Payload and Checksum bytes and whenever 0xAA or the escape byte 0x55 is found this byte is prefixed with 0x55 and the byte is xored with 0x20.
uint8* data; //the complete package data (Head, Length, Payload, Checksum) uint8* escapedData; //buffer big enough to hold the escaped package data for( int i=1; i<numBytesInData; ++i ) //not that we are starting at 1, we do not escape the Head { if( 0xAA == *data || 0x55 == *data ) { *(escapedData+++) = 0x55; *(escapedData++) = ( *data ^ 0x20 ); } else { *(escapedData++) = *data; } ++data; }
When reading an escaped package look for the escape byte 0x55. When you found 0x55 in the stream read the next byte and xor it with 0x20 to get the unescaped value.
QByteArray read( int length ) const { QByteArray ba( length, 0 ); int i=0; while( i<length ) { char ch = 0; if( 1 != _serial->read( (unsigned char*)&ch, 1 ) ) { throw ParserException( "Error reading 1 byte" ); } if( 0x55 == ch ) { if( 1 != _serial->read( (unsigned char*)&ch, 1 ) ) { throw ParserException( "Error reading 1 byte" ); } ba[i] = ( ch ^ 0x20 ); } else if( 0xAA == ch ) { throw ParserException( "Found HEAD" ); } else { ba[i] = ch; } ++i; } return ba; }
