This library provides real-time data logging functionality for NuttX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The principle of action is to accumulate data gathered in virtual channels
|
|
|
|
|
and periodically send buffered data through a dedicated interface packed
|
|
|
|
|
with a custom protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- up to 255 channels possible
|
|
|
|
|
- support for standard data types and user-specific data (``enum nxscope_sample_dtype_e``)
|
|
|
|
|
- support for vector data or point data
|
|
|
|
|
- support for character-based channels (text messages)
|
|
|
|
|
- support for channel metadata - can be used to enumerate samples or timestamp
|
|
|
|
|
- stream buffer overflow detection (``NXSCOPE_STREAM_FLAGS_OVERFLOW``)
|
|
|
|
|
- remote control with commands (``enum nxscope_hdr_id_e``)
|
|
|
|
|
- protocol and interface implementation can be different for control commands and stream data
|
|
|
|
|
- (optional) support for user-specific commands (``NXSCOPE_HDRID_USER`` and ``struct nxscope_callbacks_s``)
|
|
|
|
|
- (optional) support for samples divider (``CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_DIVIDER``)
|
|
|
|
|
- (optional) support for ACK frames (``CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_ACKFRAMES``)
|
|
|
|
|
- (optional) support for user-defined types (``CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_USERTYPES``)
|
|
|
|
|
- (optional) support for non-buffered critical channels (``CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_CRICHANNELS``)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A custom interface and a custom protocol can be implemented with
|
|
|
|
|
``struct nxscope_intf_s`` and ``struct nxscope_proto_s`` structures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported interfaces:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. a serial port: ``logging/nxscope/nxscope_iser.c``
|
|
|
|
|
2. a dummy interface for debug purposes: ``logging/nxscope/nxscope_idummy.c``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A default serial protocol is implemented in ``apps/logging/nxscope/nxscope_pser.c``
|
|
|
|
|
It just packs NxScope data into simple frames with a CRC-16 checksum.
