RS-232 485 Communication Standards

  • Currently, the team has no experience with communicating with boards using the RS-232 interface and this section will be adjusted as we learn more

  • UART is the expected communication protocol over RS-232485. To frame data for proper interpretation and ease of debugging, the SLIP protocol will be used

  • Non-backplane boards should constantly transmit an identifier until it receives acknowledgment from a parent device before transmitting its data

    • Unknown if this is necessary at this point

    • The idea is to not hard-code extension board functionality into module software

    • Functionality for responding to data from extension boards may be required to be put under lib to increase software flexibility
