Byte Stream Framing Responder Demo Program

This project demonstrates how to write a FreeRTOS program that accepts and responds to stream framed commands on a serial port.

The program is decomposed into four FreeRTOS tasks, which communicate with each other via message queues:

• ReceiverTask -- Receives incoming byte stream frames from the control port, decodes them, and pushes command messages onto the command queue.
• ExecutorTask -- Pops command messages from the command queue, executes them, and pushes response messages onto the response queue.
• TransmitterTask -- Pops response messages from the response queue, encodes them into byte stream frames, and transmits the frames out the control port.
• StatisticsTask -- Periodically prints out some global error counters.

Supported Targets

• Nucleo-F103RB using USART3. If you wire wrap CN7 pin 1 to CN10 pin 35 and CN7 pin 2 to CN10 pin 37 on the bottom of the board, then USART3 will be connected to the Arduino expansion header pins D0 and D1.
• Nucleo-F411RE using USART6. If you wire wrap CN10 pin 14 to CN10 pin 35 and CN10 pin 12 to CN10 pin 37 on the bottom of the board, then USART6 will be connected to the Arduino expansion header pins D0 and D1.

Other targets can be supported by defining the macro CONTROLPORT to select the serial port to receive commands from.

WiFi Test Setup

1. Wire wrap the Arduino expansion serial port pins as described above.
2. Install an ESP8266 Shield flashed with ESP-LINK firmware into the Arduino expansion headers.
3. Configure the ESP-LINK firmware, following these instructions. The bridged serial port should be configured for 115200 baud.
4. Compile the client test program with make client.
5. Run the client test program with ./client <hostname<>.
