Introduce protocol
VC0706 support multiple serial port, and used with the same standard communication protocol in serial
port communication.
We can gain VC0706 information from serial port communication protocol, and make control.
VC0706 communication protocol allowed to connect multiple VC0706 equipment at same time, and the each
equipment can transmission and reception the protocol command.

Protocol format
The document is sending side by client side serial port tool, and VC0706 is reception side. The format of
Serial port communication protocol as follow:
Receive command format: protocol mark(1 byte)+serial data(1 byte)+data length(1 byte) +data (0~16
bytes)
Reply command format: protocol mark(1 byte)+serial data(1 byte)+command word(1 byte)
+condition byte(1 byte)+date length(1 byte)+data(0~16 bytes).
And among them:
Protocol mark: It is used to mark the protocol as VC0706 serial port communication protocol. Receive
protocol mark is 0x56(‘V’); Reply protocol mark is 0x76(‘v’).
Serial data: It is used to differentiate each equipment when many equipment simultaneous
connection. Just the serial data of the serial port command is the same as the serial
data of the equipment, the equipment be able to accept these command. The value
range of the serial data is 0~255.
Command word: It is used to mark specific serial port communication command.
Data length: It show data length, but it not include protocol mark, serial data, command
word and data length. The value range is 0~16.
Data: Command used data, different command with different data length and format,
16 bytes max.
Status byte: Write commands for control commands and data. The data first byte indicates
the command success or not. 0 indicates success. 0x01~0xFF indicates
failure.
Meaning of state type as follow:

State code explanation of error

0 Command execution right

1 Illicit command word, it indicates that the command word system does not support

2 Illicit data length, it indicates that the command does not support the data length

3 Illicit data format

4 The command cannot be executed in the current system state

5 Accept command , but the command execute failure

 Explanation:
 About multi-byte data type, Data arrangement is High data in front and low data in behind.
 If serial data error, system don’t return any error report.
 The Max length of the data in the command is 16 bytes.
 If the command format or command execute failed, Then return format is fixed to 1 byte of error code
and 0 byte data length.

When the Sensor and CCIR656 equipment is writing operation, if the data widen greater than 1 byte,
the storage mode in each data of multiple bytes is high data in front and low data in behind.

For SPI equipment (SPI E2prom and SPI Flash), the address of write operation cannot span two 2
pages, Otherwise, it can cause the write in to go wrong. Different SPI equipment has different Page
sizes. For SPI equipment should be attention to write operation of multi-byte.

To read FBUF current frame image through SPI port by DMA mode and store to SPI Flash.
The Flash address of storage image data is address 0x28000, length is 0xB020.

Explanation:

The system receives the command, first reply command, then read the specified length data from
FBUF and send it to the set port, after the data is sent, the reply command indicates that the data is
sent.

Must stop the specified frame before invoking the command, Otherwise, images in FBUF have been
updated, it will result in reading image data is wrong.

To read the images in FBUF, can read it all at once through this command, also can be read
multiple times. If use high speed serial port or SPI port as the data read port, recommended read
data by DMA mode.

WRITE_FBUF
Command function: Write images from FBUF

Command format: 0x56+serial data+0x33+0x0B+operating mode(1 byte)+ start address (4

bytes)+ data length (4 bytes)+ delay time(2 bytes)

Operating mode: Indicates the transmission of FBUF data

Bit0: Indicates whether data is transmitted by DMA

0: Through the MCU transmission data

1: Through the DMA transmission data

Bit[2:1]: Indicates the port type of write to image data

2b’01: MCU serial port (Only support MCU data read-write mode)

2b’10: High speed serial port (support DMA and MCU data read-write mode)

2b’11: SPI port (support DMA and MCU data read-write mode)

Bit3: When the port that receives the image data is the SPI port, used to represent
equipment type of SPI connect.

0: Connect SPI Flash (Indicates write the image of in SPI Flash to FBUF)

1: Connect SPI Host (Indicates write the image to FBUF by SPI port)

Bit4: Indicates when the input source is FBUF, this write operation whether is the first
time in the operation of writing images to FBUF.

0: Not first time

1: First time

If the image is written multiple times, set this bit to 1 at the first time, set it to 0 in future operations.

This control is only useful the input source as FBUF, useless other input sources.

Start address: The starting address in FBUF is the data to be read.

It need to send the image data by SPI port, and connect SPI Flash, the control bit represents the
image to be read at the start address of SPI Flash. The FBUF write data is fixed at 0 at the start
address of FBUF. So, In this case, the length of the data is generally specified as the length of the
entire image.

the reply commander, the unit is 0.01 milliseconds

After the system receives the command, make relevant Settings, and then reply to command, and
then wait for receiving data. After receiving the data, perform batch write operations, and then reply
to command.

Command function: Operate Bitmap. Read Bitmap from the control information and control the
Bitmap display.

Command format: 0x56+ serial data +0x71+ data length + operation type(1 byte)+ data
size(2 bytes)+start address(4 bytes)

Operation type: Bitmap operation type

1: Stop transfer Bitmap from SPI Memory(SPI E2prom or SPI Flash), and stop Bitmap display.

2: Start transfer Bitmap from SPI Memory(SPI E2prom or SPI Flash), and open Bitmap display

3: Transfer Bitmap data by SPI Host

Data size: The Bitmap length of need to be transmitted. When the operation type is 1,
there is no this control

Start address: Initial position of Bitmap data of need to be remitted in SPI Memory. Only
operation type 2 needs this control item.

The command of reads Bitmap from SPI Memory and display:

0x56+ serial data +0x71+0x07+0x02+ data size(2 bytes)+start address(4 bytes)

Stop the Bitmap display command: 0x56+serial data+0x71+0x01+0x01

Transfer Bitmap by SPI Host command: 0x56+serial data+0x71+0x03+0x03+data size(2 bytes)

Reply format:

If run correctly, reply: 0x76+serial data+0x71+0x00+0x00

If the parameter is wrong, reply: 0x76+serial data+0x71+0x03+0x00

 For example:

 0x56+0x00+0x71+0x01+0x01

Stop Bitmap display

 0x56+0x00+0x71+0x07+0x02+0x25+0x80+0x00+0x00+0x40+0x00

Read Bitmap with a length of 0x2580 bytes from SPI Memory address 0x4000, and display

 0x56+0x00+0x71+0x03+0x04+0x25+0x80

Transfer 0x2580 byte length Bitmap by SPI Host, and display

Explanation:

If Bitmap display is started and the way is read SPI Memory, then the SPI channel is monopolized, it
can’t make SPI Memory Read and write access. If want to read and write the SPI Memory, must
stop the Bitmap display.
