Edit

EEPROM init registry (SC SVN revision > 1611)

  • During boot, the robot loads critical variables from its "init table registry"
  • keys are define in : '../StateControl/eeprom_keys.h';
  • the python program "keys.py" uses this file to permit keys to be referenced by name
  • at present 16 and 32 bit unsigned int keys are support
  • NOTE : python ignores the redundant part of a key name "KEY_"

Documentation file

  • filename = ../StateControl/eeprom_keys.h
  • created @ 2009-10-31 12:04:46

EEPROM_KEYS_16_BIT

  • SERIAL_NUMBER  : serial number of the installed SC/MC board : eg 9
  • RUN_LEVEL  : a simpler way to specifying the progress of bringing and demoing a robot
  • FEATURE_BITS  : bits the enabled the use of specific features (currently conflicts w/run level)
  • REVISION_NUMBER  : serial number of the installed SC/MC board : eg 200

EEPROM_KEYS_32_BIT

  • SC_FUP_BAUD  : at present unused, but will be used to set the baudrate of the SC FUP port
  • MC_FUP_BAUD  : at present unused, but will be used to set the baudrate of the SC FUP port

(tags SPLD3) EEPROM init table

  • The defaults 'feature bits' set in statemachine.h are basically ignored (6-28-09). Although loaded in sm_init.c, they're overwritten in demux_sm - where it reads the the EEPROM init table.
  • if FEATURE_MC_CURRENT_UPDATES is NOT SET, then demux_sm skips the states that boot MC through mode 2
  • if FEATURE_USE_IMU is set, then after MC is boot (immediately before RUN_TIME), the dataport_select is set to two, and the IMU communications is enabled.

(PRE SPLD 3) Problems / Goals

  • need to be able to cleanly specify to boot too.
    • great a global called 'run_level'. Each thing that gets turned on has a minimum level.
  • what if a 'needed' table isn't loaded - eg calibration table.
    • possibly this type of error should limit the maximum level of boot capability. eg no calb table, then at most we remain in a mode that will allow for calibration
