Peripheral interface architecture
At its core, the module uses the Xsens-proprietary Xbus protocol which is compatible with all
Xsens Motion Tracker products. This protocol is available on all interfaces; UART
(asynchronous serial port interfaces), I
2
C and SPI interfaces. The I
2
C and SPI interfaces differ
from UART in that they are synchronous, and have a master-slave relationship in which the slave
cannot send data by itself. This makes the Xbus protocol not directly transferable to these
interfaces. For this purpose, the module introduces the MTi Synchronous Serial Protocol
(MTSSP) protocol, a protocol for exchanging standard Xbus protocol messages over the I
2
C and
SPI interfaces. The below figure shows how MTSSP fits in the module's (simplified)
communication architecture. The module has generic Input- and Output-Queues for Xbus
protocol messages. For I
2
C and SPI, the MTSSP layer translates these messages, while for the
UART connection, the module transports the messages as-is.
