3.3.1 Standard USB Read and Write Operations

Use the serial COM port to read and write registers through USB commands using the following format:

  • Set device address format: setdevice DEVID.
    • Where setdevice is always lower case, and DEVID is defined as:
      • I2C
        • The 4 LSBs of the address in decimal format. Ex, for an address of 0x4A, use 10.
    • Note, when the SCB is reset while one or more EVMs are connected, the address defaults to the lowest address/chip select found.
      • The SCB checks for I2C or SPI at start up, if no device is attached, the SCB defaults to SPI. Reset the SCB with an I2C EVM connected to use I2C.
    • For example, to set an I2C device with a register address of 0x4A, send the command: setdevice 10
    • For this example, the EVM returns the acknowledgment and state ("idle" or "collecting") in JSON format:
      • {"acknowledge":"setdevice 10"}
      • {"evm_state":"idle"}
  • Read register format: rreg ADR
    • Where ADR is the address in hex, and rreg is always lower case.
    • Register addresses can be in upper or lower case, and do not need to be led by '0x'. 0 padding register addresses is also optional. For example, to read register address 0xB, some valid commands include:
      • rreg b
      • rreg 0B
      • rreg 0x0B
        • When '0x' is used, the 'x' must be lower case.
    • For this example, the EVM returns the results and state ("idle" or "collecting") in JSON format:
      • {"acknowledge":"rreg 0x0B"}
      • {"register":{"address":11,"value":3}}
      • {"evm_state":"idle"}
  • Write register format: wreg ADR VAL.
    • Where ADR and VAL are in hex, and wreg is always lower case.
    • Register addresses and values can be in upper or lower case, and do not need to be led by '0x'. 0 padding register addresses and values is also optional. For example, to write register address 0x1 with the value 0xfb69, some valid commands include:
      • wreg 1 fb69
      • wreg 01 0xfb69
      • wreg 0x01 0xFB69
        • When '0x' is used, the 'x' must be lower case.
    • For this example, the EVM returns the results and state ("idle" or "collecting") in JSON format:
      • {"acknowledge":"wreg 0x01 0xfb69"}
      • {"console":"Writing 0xfb69 to ADC_CONFIG register"}
      • {"evm_state":"idle"}
