Buffer Commands

All Buffer Commands must be prefaced by BUF[n] , where n is the index of the internal buffer. The Binho Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter features just one internal buffer, therefore the only valid value for n at this time is n=0.

CLEAR

Clears the contents of the entire 256-byte buffer.

Parameters:

This function takes no parameters.

Response:

This function returns an ACK Response after clearing the buffer.

Example Usage:

BUF0 CLEAR
-OK

ADD

Adds a single byte of data into the buffer and increments the pointer index by +1.

Add value to buffer: BUF[n] ADD [data]

Parameters:

This function takes one parameter, data. This is the 8-bit unsigned integer (byte) value that will be written to the buffer. Values outside of this range will be truncated to 8 bits.

Response:

This function returns an ACK Response after adding the byte the buffer if the command succeeds. If an invalid parameter is provided, the function will return a NAK Response.

Example Usage:

BUF0 ADD 0xAA
-OK

BUF0 READ 1
-BUF0 0xAA

WRITE

Writes n bytes of data into the buffer, up to a maximum of 32 bytes at a time.

Add n bytes into the buffer beginning at startIndex: BUF[n] WRITE [startIndex] [data_0] [data_1] ... [data_n]

Parameters:

startIndex is the 8-bit integer index of the location that the first byte should be written to the buffer.

data_n is the 8-bit integer (byte) that will be written to the buffer. Values outside of this range will be truncated to 8 bits.

Response:

This function returns an ACK Response after writing the data into the buffer if the command succeeds. If an invalid value is provided, the function will return a NAK Response.

Example Usage:

BUF0 WRITE 0 10 15 20
-OK

BUF0 READ 4
-BUF0 10 15 20 0

READ

Reads n bytes of data from the buffer beginning at the start of the buffer, up to a maximum of 256 bytes at a time (the entire buffer).

BUF[n] READ [byteCount]

Parameters:

byteCount is the 8-bit integer number of bytes to read from the buffer. Valid range is from 1 to 256 bytes.

Response:

This function returns a Data Response if the read command was successful. If an invalid value is provided, the function will return a NAK Response.

Example Usage:

BUF0 READ 16
-BUF0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
