public interface PagedMemoryBank extends MemoryBank

Paged Memory bank interface for iButtons (or 1-Wire devices) with page based memory. This interface extents the base functionality of the super-interface MemoryBank by providing paged based services.

This interface has methods to read and write a packet structure called the UDP (Universal Data Packet). This structure has a length byte, data, and an inverted CRC16. See Maxim Integrated Products Application Note 114 for details: http://dbserv.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm?appnote_number=114

The MemoryBank methods can be organized into the following categories:

Usage

Example 1

Display some features of PagedMemoryBank instance 'pmb':
  
  System.out.print("PagedMemoryBank has: " + pmb.getNumberPages() + " pages of length ");
  System.out.print(pbank.getPageLength() + " bytes ");
  if (bank.isGeneralPurposeMemory())
    System.out.print("giving " + pbank.getMaxPacketDataLength() + " bytes Packet data payload");
  System.out.println();

  if (pbank.hasPageAutoCRC())
    System.out.print("PagedMemoryBank has device generated CRC");
 
 

Example 2

Write a packet into the first page of a PagedMemoryBank instance 'pmb':
  
  byte[] write_buf = new byte[pmb.getMaxPacketDataLength()];
  for (int i = 0; i invalid input: '<' write_buf.length; i++)
      write_buf[i] = (byte)0;

  mb.writePagePacket(0, write_buf, 0, write_buf.length);
 
 

Example 3

Read all of the pages of a PagedMemoryBank instance 'pmb' with device CRC verification:
  
  byte[] read_buf = new byte[pmb.getPageLength()];

  if (pmb.hasAutoCRC())
  {
     // loop to read each page with CRC
     for (int pg = 0; pg invalid input: '<' pmb.getNumberPages(); pg++)
     {
        // use 'readContinue' argument to only access device on first page
        pmb.readPageCRC(pg, (pg == 0), read_buf, 0);

        // do something with data in read_buf ...
     }
  }
  else
     System.out.println("PagedMemoryBank does not support device generated CRC");

    • readPage

      void readPage(int page, boolean readContinue, byte[] readBuf, int offset) throws OneWireIOException, OneWireException
      Reads a page in this memory bank with no CRC checking (device or data). The resulting data from this API may or may not be what is on the 1-Wire device. It is recommends that the data contain some kind of checking (CRC) like in the readPagePacket method or have the 1-Wire device provide the CRC as in readPageCRC. However device CRC generation is not supported on all memory types, see hasPageAutoCRC. If neither is an option then this method could be called more then once to at least verify that the same data is read consistently. The readContinue parameter is used to eliminate the overhead in re-accessing a part already being read from. For example, if pages 0 - 4 are to be read, readContinue would be set to false for page 0 and would be set to true for the next four calls.

      Note: Using readContinue = true can only be used if the new read continues where the last one left off and it is inside a 'beginExclusive/endExclusive' block.

      Parameters:
      page - page number to read packet from
      readContinue - true then device read is continued without re-selecting
      readBuf - location for data read
      offset - offset into readBuf to place data
      Throws:
      OneWireIOException - on a 1-Wire communication error such as no 1-Wire device present. This could be caused by a physical interruption in the 1-Wire Network due to shorts or a newly arriving 1-Wire device issuing a 'presence pulse'.
      OneWireException - on a communication or setup error with the 1-Wire adapter
    • readPage

      void readPage(int page, boolean readContinue, byte[] readBuf, int offset, byte[] extraInfo) throws OneWireIOException, OneWireException

    • readPagePacket

      int readPagePacket(int page, boolean readContinue, byte[] readBuf, int offset) throws OneWireIOException, OneWireException
      Reads a Universal Data Packet. The Universal Data Packet always starts on page boundaries but can end anywhere in the page. The structure specifies the length of data bytes not including the length byte and the CRC16 bytes. There is one length byte. The CRC16 is first initialized to the page number. This provides a check to verify the page that was intended is being read. The CRC16 is then calculated over the length and data bytes. The CRC16 is then inverted and stored low byte first followed by the high byte. The structure is used by this method to verify the data but only the data payload is returned. The readContinue parameter is used to eliminate the overhead in re-accessing a part already being read from. For example, if pages 0 - 4 are to be read, readContinue would be set to false for page 0 and would be set to true for the next four calls.

      See Maxim Integrated Products Application Note 114 for details: http://dbserv.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm?appnote_number=114

      Note: Using readContinue = true can only be used if the new read continues where the last one left off and it is inside a 'beginExclusive/endExclusive' block.

      Parameters:
      page - page number to read packet from
      readContinue - true true then device read is continued without re-selecting
      readBuf - location for data read
      offset - offset into readBuf to place data
      Returns:
      number of data bytes read from the device and saved to readBuf at the provided offset
      Throws:
      OneWireIOException - on a 1-Wire communication error such as an invalid CRC16 or length found in the packet. This could be caused by a physical interruption in the 1-Wire Network due to shorts or a newly arriving 1-Wire device issuing a 'presence pulse'. It could also be caused due to the device page not containing a valid packet.
      OneWireException - on a communication or setup error with the 1-Wire adapter
      See Also:
    • readPagePacket

      int readPagePacket(int page, boolean readContinue, byte[] readBuf, int offset, byte[] extraInfo) throws OneWireIOException, OneWireException
      Reads a Universal Data Packet and extra information. See the method readPagePacket for a description of the packet structure. The readContinue parameter is used to eliminate the overhead in re-accessing a part already being read from. For example, if pages 0 - 4 are to be read, readContinue would be set to false for page 0 and would be set to true for the next four calls.

      Note: Using readContinue = true can only be used if the new read continues where the last one left off and it is inside a 'beginExclusive/endExclusive' block.

      Parameters:
      page - page number to read packet from
      readContinue - true then device read is continued without re-selecting
      readBuf - location for data read
      offset - offset into readBuf to place data
      extraInfo - location for extra info read
      Returns:
      number of data bytes read from the device and written to readBuf at the offset.
      Throws:
      OneWireIOException - on a 1-Wire communication error such as an invalid CRC16 or length found in the packet. This could be caused by a physical interruption in the 1-Wire Network due to shorts or a newly arriving 1-Wire device issuing a 'presence pulse'. It could also be caused due to the device page not containing a valid packet.
      OneWireException - on a communication or setup error with the 1-Wire adapter
      See Also:
    • writePagePacket

      void writePagePacket(int page, byte[] writeBuf, int offset, int len) throws OneWireIOException, OneWireException
      Writes a Universal Data Packet. See the method readPagePacket for a description of the packet structure.
      Parameters:
      page - page number to write packet to
      writeBuf - data to write
      offset - offset into writeBuf where data to write is
      len - number of bytes to write with a max of getMaxPacketDataLength elements
      Throws:
      OneWireIOException - on a 1-Wire communication error such as read verification error on write. This could be caused by a physical interruption in the 1-Wire Network due to shorts or a newly arriving 1-Wire device issuing a 'presence pulse'. It could also be caused due to the device page being write protected.
      OneWireException - on a communication or setup error with the 1-Wire adapter
