I am working towards enabling USB connectivity to the PC via uIEC, and
I've had some initial success. Of course, now I need to work on the
protocol between the two endpoints.
Although my initial thought was a low-level protocol (CMD bytes, data
bytes), it turns out that for most disk access, it's more efficient to
operate at a higher level. I've implemented a set of commands, but I'd
like to solicit suggestions on something that might be standardizable,
or at least has merit beyond my thinking.
From a high level protocol perspective, the IEC routines can take care
of handling the DEV/CHAN stuff and deliver to the firmware a complete
command string (open "name" on channel X or open/exec "data" on channel
15), data requests (fill read buffer with data, write this data to
storage) , or channel closure.
Any thoughts on that? Any particular format folks might prefer?
Jim
