1. Introduction

Module RM-MVB10/1x is a communication interface between MVB line and customer hardware.

The module mediates the all MVB services. Module software, depending on its type, provides for MVB TCN process data and message services as well as bus administration.

This document describes the module software interface which provides to TCN MVB the process data services. Piggy back technique Built-in into third party equipments Parallel / serial connection to host CPU Possible support of all MVB classes Possible bus administration Possibility of TCN messenger Secured communication protocol with host CPU Simple implementation of protocol in host CPU

2.2. Interface to 407 processor

Interface to 407 processor is designed as proprietary pipe over SPI bus. Description of this interface is not subject of this document.

2.3. Interface to host system

Interface to host is realized by UART, choice of which depends on applicator. Variants considered so far takes into account the asynchronous UART interface (RXD, TXD, handshaking), simplified emulated UART over parallel bus and emulated UART 16C550A over LPC bus.

Detail description of these interfaces is beyond the scope of this document.

3. SW solution

3.1. Description of MVB module access protocol

Protocol for accessing MVB via UART is frame oriented. The frame is preambled by pair of characters data link escape followed by start of text (DLE STX) and terminated by pair of characters data link escape followed by end of text (DLE ETX). Presence of character DLE as data is realized by its twinning. Codes of control characters was chosen from ASCII table (STX = 0x02, ETX = 0x03, DLE = 0x10). Example of stuffing and framing of data is in the following table: Data to be sent:

A DLE B ETX DLE STX E

After stuffing and framing:

DLE STX A DLE DLE B ETX DLE DLE STX E DLE ETX

Frame is composed from 6-byte header and data. On the frame end is stored the frame checksum, calculated under CRC16-CCITT algorithm. Minimum frame length is 8 bytes, maximum frame length is 508 bytes. Length of initial (DLE STX) preamble and terminating (DLE ETX) delimiter is not included in frame length nor in frame header. Frame is structured as follows:

Item Type Length

Meaning

DLE STX String2 Start Of Frame (0x10, 0x02)

Length U16 Frame length incl. header and CRC (minimum 8 bytes)

Request type Ch8 Request (“c”) / response (“r”)

Service Ch8 Service type

Command/Status U8/Ch8 Command/process return code

Sequential number U8 Session sequential number

… … Frame data

CRC U16 16-bit CRC of frame contents

DLE ETX String2 End Of Frame (0x10, 0x03)

When a twinning DLE character appears, it is not part of frame (not included in frame length) and must be removed when receiving data.

CRC is calculated from all data, starting with frame length and last data byte before CRC field.

CRC16-CCITT uses a x16 + x12 + x5 + 1 polynomial

Initial CRC value before calculation is equal to 0xFFFF. Protocol is of request/response type, i.e. each service is confirmed. Modification (write) services are coded by upper case letter, reading

services are coded by lower case letter. All frame elements are aligned to multiples of their length and moreover,

each frame is rounded to even number of bytes.

All multi-byte numeric frame components are little endian ordered. Little endian ordering relates only to frame items. Port data (datasets) are

transmitted like byte-stream without endian conversion. It’s up to application to fill the dataset properly, in accordance with data type specification in TCN standard (TCN standard codes all multi-byte numerical types with big endian order).

Sequential number identifies the given session; it’s incremented by modulo 256 for each new outgoing session, correspond response includes a sequential number identical with request.

If processing of data fails, then the reply frame does not contain any data except of return code.

Return codes are as follows:

Return code Value Meaning

amit_mvb_ok 0 All is OK

amit_mvb_failure 1 Unspecified failure

Communication return codes

amit_mvb_res_bad_size 2 Incorrect frame length

amit_mvb_res_send_err 3 Frame sending error

3.2.10 Writing the ports configuration service

By writing the ports configuration service is possible to configure addresses, lengths and type of ports. By single frame can be configured up to 124 ports; when configuration of more ports is required, then is necessary to call this service more times. If the port has been configured formerly, new configuration replaces the original one (port is reconfigured). Each port can be configured as source, target (sink) or source and sink simultaneously. Ports can be configured only in passive state of MVB.

After configuration port remains passive. Data can be written into passive source port, but they are not transmitted on bus. From passive sink port data can be read, but they are not received from bus. Port is enabled by service Enabling the port. It allows application to ensure, that only valid data prepared in advance are sent/received on/from the bus (important namely with device reconfiguration). Sink port and source port can be written using one descriptor or two descriptors placed just behind.

3.4. Description of services for bus administration (class 3 and 4)

Recommended configuration steps for bus administrator configuration:

1) Writing configuration (service “C”) with Passive state.

2) Reading bus administrator status (service 0xA0).

3) Writing cancel bus admin. configuration (service 0xA3) if bus admin. is already configured from step 2).

3.5. The Description of services for module firmware updating

The firmware structure consists of three separate program modules. Program modules are as follow: loader, module application and MVB/Host Controller configuration.

Fig. 2 - Firmware components

Among above mentioned modules the station also contains “Safe application” and “Safe MVB/Host Controller” ensures ability to download new firmware in cases of several download failures which can result in the inability to run ordinary application (module firmware). Executing “Safe application” is called “Service Mode”. Download consist of the following steps: /* Download initialization */ Download status check (service “i”) if download_status not equal idle then

Download cancellation (service download control – “I”) end_if Download initialization (service download control – “I”) /* Send file header */ Download status check (service “i”) until download_status equal active do Firmware download (service “B”) Download status check (service “i”) end_until /* Error check */ if download_status equal idle then return(error) end_if /* Wait until old data is erased */ until download_status equal erasing do Wait(100 ms) Download status check (service “i”) end_until

It is necessary to send the firmware file sequentially, from the file beginning. The data of the download segment should be aligned to words. If a loading failure occurs, the loading process is to be re-initialized using the download control service. After downloading the whole file the download should be finished using download control service.

Service is available only in passive state (see chapter “3.2.1 Writing the configuration service”).

3.6. Encoding of data types

Next data types are used in ACP protocol:

Data type Length Meaning

Ch8 8 bits Character; no endian ordering

U x x bits Unsigned number; little endian ordering (for multi bytes numbers)

I x x bits Signed number; little endian ordering (for multi bytes numbers)

String n n bytes Array of characters with length n; no endian ordering. The string is NULL terminated only if it is specified in the service.

<Primitive Type> [n] n * length of primitive type

Array of primitive types; endian ordering is relative to primitive type only
