Effectively deleted old dictionary call function/files.
Created lua_usb_vend_xfr function so lua can directly send and receive
vendor setup transfers.
Dictionary calls are more like function calls now, and all args aren't
required so the LED can be turned on for example in lua like so:
dict_pinport("LED_ON")
general format is:
dict_name( opcode, operand, misc, datastring )
Also added ability to store opcode's return length in shared dict library
files with RL=number in the comments following the opcode.
Negative numbers designate OUT transfers, positive for IN.
Default value can be determined by each dictionary's calling function.
Decided pinport is 1 for SUCCESS/ERROR CODE.
Also have default return data means with second byte giving length of
return data in bytes that follows.
dictionary call function reports any errors reported by the device and
returns any return data from the device excluding error code / data len
Now time to start implementing some of these dictionaries on the device.
underlying hardware/mcu. Created avr_gpio.h to define AVR pin registers
in a struct fashion similar to what's common with ARM code. Doing that
makes things much easier to abstract in pin macro 'functions'.
Added define to Makefiles that flags pinport_al.h which board is targetted
for build.
Tested and able to turn on/off and pull-up LED on all 3 builds.
scripts/usb_device.lua is planned to use for usb device info prior to
connecting. Currently just used to determine log level.
scripts/inlretro.lua is the main script called by the C main function.
Prior to passing control over to lua in inlretro.lua, commandline args
must be passed in somehow. And the USB device must be connected to, and
usb transfer object passed to dictionary's local transfer pointer.
Not sure dictionary having a local static pointer to usb transfer struct
is a great idea, but simplest solution I could think of to keep from
complicating lua by passing the pointer/object back and forth between lua
and C. This method mostly abstracts the usb transfer object from lua
which makes sense to me anyway.
Need to come up with a way for shared_dict_*.h defines to be made
available to lua scripts. Seems a lua table would be the best solution,
but don't want to keep manual copies for all the defines. These C defines
are necessary as it's the only clean way to define the dictionaries for
the firmware. Thinking the best solution will be a lua script that
parses all shared_dict*.h files and creates tables at run time. Planning
to hardcode some tables for now, then implement a .h file parser in lua.
