Date: Sun, 29 Feb 2004 11:51:42 +0100 (MET) For the car CD changer commands towards the Archos, I once made a "specification". At that time I thought I need an external controller. But the VW folks do, and my spec is still the basis for that project. The remote control always sends bytes with 9600 Baud and with the upper 2 bits set (0xC0-0xFF), the lower bits depend on the buttons. So it uses one "quadrant" of the available byte range. For the changer control, I thought it would be a good idea to occupy another quadrant, 0x80-0xBF, for single-byte commands to the Archos. I decided that commands should always be single bytes, to avoid sync problems. The answer can be multibyte, though. The Archos is the slave, never sends anything "unsolicited", it always has to be asked first (poll if necessary). I tried to logically group the commands, quick decoding can be made by the first hex digit. Here's my old spec: Commands towards Archos ----------------------- Commands: - 0x80 ping - 0x81 power off - 0x82 resume after powerup - 0x83 play - 0x84 pause - 0x85 stop - 0x86 start FF - 0x87 start FR - 0x88 next track - 0x89 previous track - 0x8A first track - 0x8B last track - 0x8C next random track - 0X8D previous random track - 0x8E-0x8F reserved Commands for Play-mode: - 0x90 normal play (special modes off) - 0x91 disk shuffle mode on - 0x92 magazin shuffle mode on - 0x93 intro scan on - 0x94 repeat one on - 0x95 repeat all on - 0x96-0x9F reserved CD select buttons: - 0xA0-0xA5 button n (1-6) - 0xA6-0xAF reserved Inquiry commandos: - 0xB0 give play status: state (changing, etc) (return payload: 2 byte flags, tbd) - 0xB1 give disk status: #of tracks (return payload: 16 Bit little endian) - 0xB2 give current track # (return payload: 16 Bit little endian) - 0xB3 give current track time (return payload: seconds as 16 Bit little endian) - 0xB4-0xBF reserved Answer to the Inquiry Commands ------------------------------ Byte 1: negated command byte Byte 2: length of "payload", 0-255 Bytes Byte 3...n-1: Payload Byte n: Checksum, 8-bit sum of Bytes 1 to n-1 Answer to all commands except inquiry commands is 1 byte error code: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 0x00 Success 0x01 Wait (the requested action has been started, but not completed yet, maybe kepp polling?) 0x02-0xFF error codes, tbd -- GMX ProMail (250 MB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS, Virenschutz, 2,99 EUR/Monat...) jetzt 3 Monate GRATIS + 3x DER SPIEGEL +++ http://www.gmx.net/derspiegel +++ _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockboxReceived on 2004-02-29 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
