4.2 UART and I2C BSL Protocol

The data packets of the UART and I2C BSL protocol have the following structure.

  • Header byte indicates the protocol used and the packet type (command or response packet).
  • Length field contains the size of the BSL Core Data in bytes.
  • BSL core data, contains the Command / Response ID and Address, data as needed by the command
  • CRC32 field contains the CRC calculated for the data in BSL core data
PI Code BSL Core Data PI Code
Header (1 byte) Length (2 byte) BSL Core Command/Response CRC32 (4 byte)

Based on the Core data field, the data packet is classified as either Command packet or response packet.

Command packet is the first packet which is transmitted to the BSL. The second packet is the Response packet which is received from the BSL. Response packet contains two components BSL acknowledgment and BSL Core response. In these two, Acknowledgment is received from BSL for every command packet sent. But the BSL core response is not received for every command.
