Take a look at this example: a USB device in Windows 7 is reported to have Device instance path(DevinstPath) USB\VID_1EAB&PID_0501\7&25C389C1&0&1 and I know exactly that it corresponds to the so-called hardware-key(hwkey) in registry.
Now my question is: When my KMDF driver code has WDFDEVICE handle for that USB device, how can I know its DevinstPath?
I know I can
send a BusQueryDeviceID to achieve the so-called device-id USB\VID_1EAB&PID_0501;
send a BusQueryInstanceID to achieve the so-called instance-id 1 .
But I don't know how to get the so-called "instance-path". Could some kernel guru kindly tell me how I can get that?
MSDN doc seems really vague on this!
BTW: I also realize that user-layer function SetupDiGetDeviceInstanceId actually returns the DevinstPath -- although it is named "InstanceId".
Device instance path can be queried using DEVPKEY_Device_InstanceId, using either WdfDeviceAllocAndQueryPropertyEx or IoGetDevicePropertyData (passing the WDM physical device object)
Device Instance id is autoincrement sequence.
You can find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum in registry;
Rules:NextPareneID.XXXXXXXX.N
XXXXXX use UUID Calculation crc32 values(test ok)
N is 1~9
Device Instance id format is N&PareneID&random's number&index

I have Wago 750-880 with different sensors. Someone wrote already a program to control it in Codesys. I would like to return (I have a Java background :D) - to write some variables to output in the driver, e.g. holding registers. I would like to to read later those variables (parameters) on a SSI page like that
<!--#READPI ADR=QX4.5&FORMAT=%X-->
I don't have any PLC experience :(
How can I write to the Holding Register?
Thanks a lot in advance
My interpretation of the question is that you'd like the information to be reflected on a web interface or screen?
If so, in Wago's environment there is a VISU facility that you can enable to display whatever you'd like, and access it via a web browser over the internet.
This may help: Supplement to the User Manual for PLC Programming with CoDeSys 2.3
create variables for your I/O and using the Modbus library to access your %MW??? variables.
First %MW0 is at address 12288 and so on
ex: Input1 AT %MW10 ; //12288 + 10 = 12298
//MAP TO ACTUAL IP1 unit channel 1
Input1.0 = IP1.0
I have a Verilog code simulated and synthesized on ISE design toolkit. I've got an FPGA spartan 6 device which is to be used for the implementation. But there is a problem with the device (probably a power issue) which makes the device unavailable in any of the COM ports when I connected it to my PC. So I want to check whether my Matlab code which I made for serial communication through the device does the desired job. So I need a method to test serial communication via any of the COM ports without connecting a serial com device to the PC. Is there any such method that I can Tx Rx serial data from Matlab to COM ports? Any software or any other method would be highly appreciated :)
I found a way to test Matlab serial communication using virtual serial ports.
Download "Freeware Virtual COM Ports Emulator" from: http://freevirtualserialports.com/
I installed it in Windows 10, and it's working (as trial).
Add a pair of two serial ports:
Execute the following Matlab code sample to verify it's working:
s3 = serial('COM3','BaudRate',115200);
s4 = serial('COM4','BaudRate',115200);
fopen(s3);
fopen(s4);
fwrite(s3, uint8([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
%fprintf(s3, '12345');
pause(0.1);
RxBuf = fread(s4, 5)
fclose(s3);
delete(s3);
clear s3
fclose(s4);
delete(s4);
clear s4
The output is:
RxBuf =
1
2
3
4
5
Bypassing the problem "it only stays for a single test session".
There is a problem when creating a pair of virtual ports using the software, it only stays for a single test session.
I guess it's a problem with the COM port emulation software.
The following solution, is not a good practice (and not a true solution).
Declare the serial object as global, keeping the object persistent.
Create the serial object only if it's not created.
Don't delete and don't clear the serial object.
See the following code sample:
global s3 s4
if isempty(s3)
s3 = serial('COM3','BaudRate',115200);
end
if isempty(s4)
s4 = serial('COM4','BaudRate',115200);
end
fopen(s3);
fopen(s4);
fwrite(s3, uint8([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
pause(0.1);
RxBuf = fread(s4, 5)
fclose(s3);
%delete(s3);
%clear s3
fclose(s4);
%delete(s4);
%clear s4
You can also look for a better virtual COM port software.
As Rotem suggested, if you need to communicate via serial line between 2 program of your PC you need a virtual COM port emulator.
It seems you are running on Windows OS so I would recommend a completely free emulator (not a trial one). For Windows I use com0com Null-modem emulator (from SourceForge).
In the example below I will show how to communicate with "another" device so Matlab will not handle both side of the communication. The other device will be simulated by a simple terminal. For windows I use RealTerm: Serial/TCP Terminal (also from SourceForge).
Setup:
Execute the setup of both program with all default options. by default com0com will create a virtual pair COM3/COM4 but if these port already exist on your system the program may assign other numbers. Check the numbers before you run the example. (it will also create a CNCA0/CNCB0 pair but you can ignore this one for now).
For RealTerm, once installed (don't forget to activate the server registration at the end of the setup, it should be ticked by default though), it will look like below. Keep all default options, just set the port number and the baud rate if they need to be changed.
Test MATLAB -> Terminal
You are ready to send Ascii characters or binary values from MATLAB to your device. The animation below shows you an example of both option:
you can click on the picture to see it full size. It is running in loop so you may want to wait until it restart from the beginning.
Test Terminal -> MATLAB
Below animation shows you how to test the communication in the other way:
Don't forget to tick [CR] [LF] on RealTerm when you send Ascii characters and want to use the '%s' format specifier on MATLAB, as it needs these characters to detect the end of the string.
Note:
If you have another terminal program that you are more used too, it
will work the same.
If the RealTerm option does not suit you, or if you want to handle
both sides of communication from Matlab, then you can use the code
provided by Rotem in his first answer. Just install com0com but
ignore all the RealTerm part.
I have the Panasonic MN63Y1210 tag. I have read it with different phones and always I see that the ID is 0x00000000
I've made a program with Arduino and Adafruit's PN532 shield and I have that response too, in ATQB, the PUPI appears like 0x00000000, but when I read the ISO 14443-3 I read this:
A Pseudo-Unique Identifier (PUPI) is used to differenciate PICCs
during anticollision. This 4-byte number may be either a number
dinamically generated by the PICC or a diversified fixed number. The
PUPI shall only be generated by a state transition form the POWER-OFF
to the IDLE state.
For the transition from POWER OFF to IDLE, we need a field, so, I expect that when I try to read the tag this is not in POWER OFF, because I'm applying a field, but I think it is strange to have that PUPI of 0x00000000. I've tested with another tag (same Panasonic model) and I get the same PUPI...
Is this normal? Or what do you think about it?
I would suggest that you start by looking into the datasheet of the MN63Y1210:
On page 26 (table 3-13) you will find that the default value this chip uses for the PUPI is 00000000. You can configure that value, for instance, over the serial interface.
Assumed I have a JTAG-chain with several devices from different manufactures:
How does my software, which shall communicate with a specific system within that chain, known the length of the IR for all the others devices within the chain? I do have to know them to send a certain instruction to my device, right?
It is possible to detect the total length of all IR registers in your JTAG daisy-chain. It is also possible to detect the number of devices (or TAPs) in your chain. But you can't detect the individual IR length of a single TAP.
What you can do: You can read out the JTAG ID code register of all of you TAPs. The ID code register (in DR path) is always 32 bit and gets selected by test-logic-reset.
With the ID code you can identify the existing TAPs and look up in the datasheet the length of the individual IR registers.
And yes: In general you do have to know the individual IR length of all the TAPs in your chain to communicate with one of them.
try here: http://www.fpga4fun.com/JTAG3.html
When IR = '1...1', the BYPASS is selected.
The idea is to send a lot of '1' so regardless of IR length all devices will select BYPASS.
I am trying to read/write to a I/O Memory Register of a platform device but the system hangs as soon as it goes to the line where read/write is performed.
I was able to check the following:
request_mem_region returns OK
the correct physical addr was requested (ioremap is OK)
a valid logical address is returned; used this to read the
register; ioread32(logical_addr)
I am quite new to the linux kernel, is there a way that the I/O registers are disabled?
I checked /proc/iomem, and the memory region that I wish to access appears in the list.
Where to go from here?
I found the answer. Thank you for your response Longfield.
I forgot to check the name used by the driver. It didn't match the device name being registered. They should match.
