device-register

A no_std library to describe the registers permissions of a device to ease driver development.

• no_std support
• Zero cost, no use of dyn
• No dsl, just a derive macro and impl a trait.
• Error passthrough

Usage

Simply derive using XXRegister, where XX is the premission. The following permissions are supported

• RORegister, read only permission
• WORegister, write only permission
• EORegister, edit only permission, when a register need to be read-modify-write
• RERegister, Read and edit permission
• RWRegister, Read, write and edit permission.

To define a register, simply derive using the desired permission.

Then use the register attribute to define it's address, type for the address and the error.

use device_register::*;

#[derive(RWRegister)]
#[register( addr = "42", ty = "u8")]
pub struct Register0(pub u16);

Then, your driver only need to implement the RegisterInterface to have access to the read/write/edit traits.

Complete example

Here is a complete example. See the tests folder for more, or checkout the tmp117 driver for actual usage.

use std::collections::HashMap;
use device_register::*;

// The type of the address used by the driver
struct Address(pub u8);

// We define the register with Read/Write permission
// Then we pass the address type, value and error type of the driveer
#[derive(Debug, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Clone, RWRegister)]
#[register( addr = "Address(1)", ty = "Address")]
struct Register0(pub u16);

impl From<u16> for Register0 {
    fn from(value: u16) -> Self {
        Register0(value)
    }
}

impl From<Register0> for u16 {
    fn from(value: Register0) -> Self {
        value.0
    }
}

// Mock of the device driver
struct DeviceDriver {
    // Simulate reading from the device
    pub registers: HashMap<u8, u16>,
}

// Implement a method directly, by passing the trait for specific usecases like async
impl DeviceDriver {
    pub async fn read_async<R>(&self) -> R
    where
        R: ReadableRegister<Address = Address> + From<u16>,
    {
        async {
            let bytes = self.registers.get(&R::ADDRESS.0).unwrap();
            bytes.clone().into()
        }.await
    }
}


// We implement the required interface
impl<R> RegisterInterface<R, Address> for DeviceDriver
where
    R: Register<Address = Address> + Clone + From<u16>,
    u16: From<R>,
{
    // The type of the error, lets have none for now,
    type Error = ();

    fn read_register(&mut self) -> Result<R, Self::Error> {
        let bytes = self.registers.get(&R::ADDRESS.0).unwrap();
        Ok(bytes.clone().into())
    }

    fn write_register(&mut self, register: &R) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        self.registers.insert(R::ADDRESS.0, register.clone().into());
        Ok(())
    }
}

let mut device = DeviceDriver{
    registers:  HashMap::new(),
};
// We can the Read/Write/Edit the registers that uses the Address type.
let write = Register0(42);
device.write(write).unwrap();

let read: Register0 = device.read().unwrap();

assert_eq!(read, write);

device.edit(|r: &mut Register0| {
    r.0 = 43;
}).unwrap();


let read: Register0 = device.read().unwrap();
assert_eq!(read, Register0(43));

// Custom implementation, async is an example of usecase for custom implements
tokio_test::block_on( async {
    let read_async: Register0 = device.read_async().await;
    assert_eq!(read, Register0(43));
} );
