upc2

A universal programmer and console program.

The ReadMe contains most of the information needed by users, so this wiki is notes about code structure, to-do lists and groaning.

Code Structure

The code can be broken down into:

  • Application front-end: upc2 isn't the only possible way to use the underlying bootloader system. Alternative front-ends should put their code in the progs directory.

  • Communications back-end: the serial interface code is implemented in an object-oriented manner, using function pointers. This allows different back-end mechanisms to be plugged in without (in theory) requiring any change to the rest of the code.

  • Core system: the core logic for running bootloads and the console. Alternative applications may need tweaks to these functions. Additional console escapes will be implemented here, and additional protocols need linking in here.

  • Protocols: functions to implement the individual download protocols.
