New page

This article describes the USB communcation protocol of emCORE monitor.

== Endpoints ==

The emCORE Monitor interface contains 4 bulk endpoints, in the following order:
* Command OUT Endpoint
* Command IN Endpoint
* Data OUT Endpoint
* Data IN Endpoint

If not stated otherwise, everything is little endian.

== General Structure ==
Each packet send to the Command OUT Endpoint has a 16 byte header. The first 4 bytes, interpreted as a 32bit little endian word, contain the command ID. The meaning of the other bytes depends on the command. For commands that send data to the device, it will immediately follow that header.

After sending a packet to the Command OUT Endpoint, listen on the Command IN Endpoint for a response. The response also has a 16 byte header, followed by an optional data stage, depending on the command. The first 4 bytes of the header, interpreted as a 32bit word, is the status code, the meaning of the other bytes depends on the command.

=== 10: Read from the USB console ===
Use this command to get data written to the USB console. You may not request a transfer that would exceed the maximum Command IN Endpoint packet size (including the header).

As long as the console application is running, make sure to issue this request at least once a second. Otherwise the console might start dropping data and inserting an "\n\n[overflowed]\n\n" mark. If you can't receive any data but need to keep the console from dropping data, issue zero-length read requests.
