|
|
pig2vd - A utility to convert pigpio notifications to VCD.
|

pig2vcd </dev/pigpioXX >file.VCD
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|

.ad l

|
|
pig2vcd is a utility which reads notifications on stdin and writes the
|
|
output as a Value Change Dump (VCD) file on stdout.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
The VCD file can be viewed using GTKWave.

.SS Notifications
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
Notifications consist of 12 bytes with the following binary format.
|

seqno: starts at 0 each time the handle is opened and then increments by one for each report.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
flags: two flags are defined, PI_NTFY_FLAGS_WDOG and PI_NTFY_FLAGS_ALIVE. If bit 5 is set (PI_NTFY_FLAGS_WDOG) then bits 0-4 of the flags indicate a gpio which has had a watchdog timeout; if bit 6 is set (PI_NTFY_FLAGS_ALIVE) this indicates a keep alive signal on the pipe/socket and is sent once a minute in the absence of other notification activity.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
tick: the number of microseconds since system boot. It wraps around after 1h12m.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
level: indicates the level of each gpio. If bit 1<<x is set then gpio x is high. pig2vcd takes these notifications and outputs a text format VCD.

.SS VCD format
|
|
.br
|
|
|

|
|
The VCD starts with a header.

The header defines gpio identifiers and their name. Each gpio identifier
|
|
must be unique. pig2vcd arbitrarily uses 'A' through 'Z' for gpios 0
|
|
through 25, and 'a' through 'f' for gpios 26 through 31.
|
|
The corresponding names are 0 through 31.
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
The VCD file may be edited to give a frendlier name, e.g. 8 could be
|
|
changed to ENCODER_A if an encoder switch A is connected to gpio 8.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
Following the header pig2vcd takes notifications and outputs a timestamp
|
|
followed by a list of one or more gpios which have changed state.
|
|
The timestamp consists of a '#' followed by the microsecond tick.
|
|
The state lines contain the new state followed by the gpio identifier.
