BPM WWAVUSBEPP LA

Logic analyzer test

17 signal pins, 16 LA channels. Arbitrarily drop pin 8 in favor of hooking everything up linearly.

2015-09-27

Project goal: understand how voltages/currents are read out

Phase 1: LA

Ran into some signal integrity issues setting up capture. Had to do short wires. More info:

Final setup '* [twitter.com/johndmcmaster/status/648329962819182592] '* [twitter.com/johndmcmaster/status/648348769746948097] Flaky: flying leads '* [twitter.com/johndmcmaster/status/648315944121425920] Complete failure: ribbon cable '* [twitter.com/johndmcmaster/status/645354861383385088]

Setup to trigger on J2.1. Triggered during startup sequence reading serial number etc

Discovered Saleae only support 8/16 channels with USB 2. Ordered USB3 expresscard adapter.

SN:

Above: 1-8 at startup

Above: after hitting don't register. 02_post_sn.lda

Above: after hitting okay that's in unsupported mode

Above: software started but idle

Above: voltage monitoring. 03_voltage.lda

Above also shows that signals are at least in the 1-1.25 MHz range. I'm currently sampling at 6.25 MS/s

Phase 2: USB cap/replay

Continue above project by toying with USB driver. Previously had some issue with certain response packet getting lost as it made its way back to the host (kernel capture: lost, libusb: lost, USB analyzer: received). This issue is what prompted this more detailed analysis. To that end, try to work in C to enable getting libusb help diagnosing the problem.

2015-09-29

Rewire Saleae cleaner. Confirmed that can select up to 500 MS/s with 2 channels with analog turned off

Looks like bp1410_sn.py (bfb0464a) demonstrates the issue I was having:

Step through code with LA to better understand whats going on

Open question: should I be renumerating?

test file: la_sn.py (based on bp1410_sn.py)

packet 147/148

LA: seeing some small transients. They are repeatable. Is this edge cross talk or actual signals? From:

1. Generated from packet 147/148

buff = controlRead(0xC0, 0xB0, 0x0000, 0x0000, 4096) validate_read("\x00\x00\x00", buff, "packet 147/148")

packet 157/158

Was not able to get any LA activity from this (CH0, 4 random channels):

1. Generated from packet 157/158

buff = bulkRead(0x86, 0x0200)

1. NOTE:: req max 512 but got 4

validate_read("\x08\x16\x01\x00", buff, "packet 148.5")

packet 149-154

Endpoint reset (packet 149-154) did not trigger CH0

packet 165/166

1. Generated from packet 165/166

buff = controlRead(0xC0, 0xB0, 0x0000, 0x0000, 4096) print 'val 165: %s' % binascii.hexlify(buff)

1. NOTE:: req max 4096 but got 3

validate_read("\x00\x00\x00", buff, "packet 165/166")

Looks exactly like earlier but USB data is different

packet 167/168

1. Generated from packet 167/168

buff = bulkRead(0x86, 0x0200, timeout=500)

1. NOTE:: req max 512 but got 4

validate_read("\x08\x16\x01\x00", buff, "packet 167/168")

No LA traffic observed. The packet that gets lost

S/N capture

From win SW

01_sn.logicdata

My S/N: 34346

0x862a 0b_1000_0110_0010_1010

This trace provides the first real insight:

CH1-8 appear to be 8 bit data bus CH9: semi clock like or crosstalk CH10: semi clock like or crosstalk CH 13: clock like

Next steps

Generate C version and double check data flow. Consider getting LA trace from Windows SW working correctly to better understand whats going on

S/N extraction

Given

dev.bulkWrite(0x02, "\x0E\x00") buff = dev.bulkRead(0x86, 0x0200)

Generates a bus transaction (ex: getting serial number). S/N USB bytes:

1 bytes: unknown * \x08 4 bytes: bus transaction * \x3A\x00\x90\x32 2 bytes: unknown * \x00\x00 8 bytes: bus transaction * \x2A\x86\x01\x95\x3C\x36\x90\x00 * Byte order: little endian 2 bytes: unknown * \x20\x00 14 bytes: bus transaction * \x01\x00\xD6\x05\x01\x00\x72\x24\x22\x39\x00\x00\x00\x00 * Are the last 4 bytes actually part of this? 4 bytes: unknown * \xBF\x1D\x20\x00

Note: the USB trace is not the same trace as used on the LA

S/N details:

1. Generated from packet 181/182

dev.bulkWrite(0x02, "\x0E\x00")

1. Generated from packet 183/184

buff = dev.bulkRead(0x86, 0x0200)

1. NOTE:: req max 512 but got 35

validate_read("\x08\x3A\x00\x90\x32\x00\x00\x2A\x86\x01\x95\x3C\x36\x90\x00\x20"

controlRead(0xC0, 0xB0, 0x0000, 0x0000, 4096)

LA: traffic but data bus has no activity (held high)

bulkWrite(0x02, "\x01")

LA traffic with bus activity

bulkRead(0x86, 0x0200)

Reads fx2 buffer. No LA traffic

Ran some experiments and confirmed that the first byte on the bus is the bulkWrite byte. Also can string multiple together to get them put together

CH9:

1: Host to device (host write) 0: Device to host (host read)

CH13:

Clock Host reads on positive edge Host changes data on negative edge Device reads on positive edge? Device changes data on negative edge

bulkWrite(0x02, "%%\%%xDE%%\%%xAD%%\%%BE%%\%%EF")

Resulted in %%\%%x9E%%\%%xAD on bus Why did it drop the first high bit but no the second? Escape sequence of some sort? * TODO: review data for 0x80 bit Why did it stop after the first two bytes?
