GBM / opPanel- Debug interface


    OpPanel has a host interface for updating the firmware and for easy configuration. The PC is connected via a FTDI USB cable 3V3(important) to the ATXMEGA serial port. A virtual COM port is initialized

Configuration interface


    In normal operation, a control interface (API) is implemented on the USB port through which you can send commands to OpPanel. For this purpose, a terminal emulator as hterm.exe may be used.
    The API works with a serial protocol at 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1). API transmits 8-bit ASCII. The commands are not case sensitive. The commands sent are terminated with <CR> or <CR-LF> The response contains <CR-LF> as the end marker. An unknown command responds with "unknown command".

API Command


    Common API commands

  • help or ? or H
    parameters:None
    answer: help text that briefly describes the commands of the API.
  • Info
    parameters:None
    answer: "OpenDCC PANEL hw 1.0, sw 02, 01 api Clock=Crystal, A1, bl no " (example)
    The response consists of a chain, starting with the hardware identifier ("OpenDCC PANEL) followed by version numbers. Then the Key words, each followed by a numerical value.
    hw Hardware version
    sw software version
    api This is the version of the API parser; based on this number the supported instruction set can be defined.
    Clock Internal or Crystal.
    xmega_type A1U (with USB) or A1.
    bl: macro_flash_save Yes or No.
  • C
    C <cmd>: simulates a command // non implémenté .
  • CV
    CV ADDR [DATA]
    parameters:
    ADDR CV Address to be read or written.
    DATA write if this parameter is specified, else read.
    answer:CV:5:0(=0x00)
  • REBOOT
    parameters:None
    answer: no
    OpPanel performs a reset (e.g. required after changing the profiles of modes / CVs).

    • Controls for log ("trace")

  • L
    Show present state.
    answer :sequence of letters, each followed by + or -.
    Example: Logging: K- C+ Host: alive

    Nom Log activé
    K Show if a key has been pressed
    C show the CV
    Host status alive or stalled

  • LK [0|1]: show keystrokes
    indicates which keys have been pressed, including keys simulated by the software.

    • Test commands
