Crate embedded_registers_derive 

This crate provides a procedural macro for effortless definitions of registers in embedded device drivers.

Currently, embedded-registers requires the use of #![feature(generic_arg_infer)].

Attribute macro

Registers are defined by adding #[register(...)] to the definition of a bondrewd bitfield. As a short reminder, bondrewd is another proc macro that allows you to define a bitfield structure, which is very handy when dealing with registers, where multiple values are often tightly packed bit-on-bit.

The register attribute macro supports the following arguments:

address	The virtual address associated to the register.
read	Add this if the register should be readable
write	Add this if the register should be writeable

Adding this attribute to a struct Foo will result in two types being defined:

• Foo will become the register, essentially a byte array with the correct size that provides getter and setter functions for the individual fields.
• FooBitfield will become the underlying bondrewd bitfield, which may be used to construct a register from scratch, or can be obtained via Foo::read_all if you want to unpack all values.

This has the advantage that reading a register incurs no additional memory and CPU cost to unpack all values of the bitfield. You only pay for the members you actually access.

Simple Example

This simple example defines the DeviceId register of an MCP9808. It has the virtual address 0b111 (0x7), uses big endian byte order with the first member of the struct positioned at the most significant bit, is 2 bytes in size and is read-only. The register definition automatically work with both sync and async code.

#![feature(generic_arg_infer)]
use embedded_registers::{register, i2c::{I2cDeviceAsync, I2cDeviceSync, codecs::OneByteRegAddrCodec}, RegisterInterfaceAsync, RegisterInterfaceSync, ReadableRegister};

#[register(address = 0b111, mode = "r")]
#[bondrewd(read_from = "msb0", default_endianness = "be", enforce_bytes = 2)]
pub struct DeviceId {
    device_id: u8,
    revision: u8,
}

// sync:
let mut dev = I2cDeviceSync::<_, _, OneByteRegAddrCodec>::new(i2c /* bus */, 0x24 /* i2c addr */);
let reg = dev.read_register::<DeviceId>()?;

// async:
let mut dev = I2cDeviceAsync::<_, _, OneByteRegAddrCodec>::new(i2c /* bus */, 0x24 /* i2c addr */);
let reg = dev.read_register::<DeviceId>().await?;

Complex Example

A real-world application may involve describing registers with more complex layouts involving different data types or even enumerations. Luckily, all of this is fairly simple with bondrewd.

We also make sure to annotate all fields with #[register(default = ...)] to allow easy reconstruction of the power-up defaults. Have a look at this excerpt of the Configuration register from the MCP9808:

#![feature(generic_arg_infer)]
use embedded_registers::{register, i2c::{I2cDeviceAsync, codecs::OneByteRegAddrCodec}, RegisterInterfaceAsync, ReadableRegister, WritableRegister};
use bondrewd::BitfieldEnum;

#[derive(BitfieldEnum, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Debug, Format)]
#[bondrewd_enum(u8)]
pub enum Hysteresis {
    Deg_0_0C = 0b00,
    Deg_1_5C = 0b01,
    Deg_3_0C = 0b10,
    Deg_6_0C = 0b11,
}

#[derive(BitfieldEnum, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Debug, Format)]
#[bondrewd_enum(u8)]
pub enum ShutdownMode {
    Continuous = 0,
    Shutdown = 1,
}

#[register(address = 0b001, mode = "rw")]
#[bondrewd(read_from = "msb0", default_endianness = "be", enforce_bytes = 2)]
pub struct Config {
    // padding
    #[bondrewd(bit_length = 5, reserve)]
    #[allow(dead_code)]
    reserved: u8,

    /// Doc strings will also be shown on the respective read/write functions generated from this definition.
    #[bondrewd(enum_primitive = "u8", bit_length = 2)]
    #[register(default = Hysteresis::Deg_0_0C)]
    pub hysteresis: Hysteresis,
    /// All fields should be documented with information from the datasheet
    #[bondrewd(enum_primitive = "u8", bit_length = 1)]
    #[register(default = ShutdownMode::Continuous)]
    pub shutdown_mode: ShutdownMode,

    // ... all 16 bits must be filled
}

// This now allows us to read and write the register, while only
// unpacking the fields we require:
let mut reg = dev.read_register::<Config>().await?;
info!("previous shutdown mode: {}", reg.read_shutdown_mode());
reg.write_shutdown_mode(ShutdownMode::Shutdown);
dev.write_register(&reg).await?;

// If you want to get the full decoded bitfield, you can use either `read_all`
// or `.into()`. If you need to unpack all fields anyway, this might be
// more convenient as it allows you to access the bitfield members more ergonomically.
//let bf: ConfigBitfield = reg.into();
let mut bf = reg.read_all();
info!("previous shutdown mode: {}", bf.shutdown_mode);
bf.shutdown_mode = ShutdownMode::Shutdown;
reg.write_all(bf);
