Protocol Specification

Datapath 

The datapath interface is used to get the data and commands. The interface accepts the 

command and data on TCP port 8082. It accepts two commands: 

readdatafrommemory

 

and 

writedatatomemory

. Based on the received command, it triggers the DMA. It uses 

the DMA client driver to perform DMA operations. Like the control path, the datapath also 

accepts string-based commands.

On receiving a 

writedatatomemory

 command, the application receives the number of 

data bytes from the socket. After receiving data samples from the socket, the application 

triggers DMA. After DMA is successfully triggered, the 

writedatatomemory

 command 

returns status to the GUI.

On receiving a 

readdatafrommemory

 command, the application triggers DMA to receive 

the number of bytes specified in the command. After the DMA is done, data is sent to the 

GUI.

Datapath State Machine

The datapath is used to get data and commands related to data. 

Figure 7-3

 shows the 

datapath state machine.
