|
To be able to reliably store persistent configuration in `EEPROM`, we need to be
|
|
able to split up the available space for plugins to use. We also want to make
|
|
sure that we notice when the `EEPROM` contents and the firmware are out of sync.
|
|
This plugin provides the tools to do that.
|
|
|
|
It does not guard against errors, it merely provides the means to discover them,
|
|
and let the firmware Sketch handle the case in whatever way it finds reasonable.
|
|
It's a building block, and not much else. All Kaleidoscope plugins that need to
|
|
store data in `EEPROM` are encouraged to make use of this library.
|
|
|
|
## Using the plugin
|
|
|
|
There are a few steps one needs to take to use the plugin: we must first
|
|
register it, then either let other plugins request slices of `EEPROM`, or do so
|
|
ourselves. And finally, seal it, to signal that we are done setting up. At that
|
|
point, we can verify whether the contents of the `EEPROM` agree with our
|
|
firmware.
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-EEPROM-Settings.h>
|
|
|
|
static uint16_t settingsBase;
|
|
static struct {
|
|
bool someSettingFlag;
|
|
} testSettings;
|
|
|
|
void setup () {
|
|
Kaleidoscope.setup ();
|
|
|
|
USE_PLUGINS (&EEPROMSettings);
|
|
|
|
/* Use other plugins that make use of the EEPROM */
|
|
|
|
settingsBase = EEPROMSettings.requestSlice (sizeof (testSettings));
|
|
|
|
EEPROMSettings.seal ();
|
|
|
|
if (!EEPROMSettings.isValid ()) {
|
|
// Handle the case where the settings are out of sync...
|
|
// Flash LEDs, for example.
|
|
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
EEPROM.get (settingsBase, testSettings);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Plugin methods
|
|
|
|
The plugin provides the `EEPROMSettings` object, which has the following methods:
|
|
|
|
### `requestSlice(size)`
|
|
|
|
> Requests a slice of the `EEPROM`, and returns the starting address (or 0 on
|
|
> error, including when the request arrived after sealing the layout).
|
|
>
|
|
> Should only be called **before** calling `seal()`.
|
|
|
|
### `seal()`
|
|
|
|
> Seal the `EEPROM` layout, so no new slices can be requested. The CRC checksum
|
|
> is considered final at this time, and the `isValid()`, `crc()`, `used()` and
|
|
> `version()` methods can be used from this point onwards.
|
|
|
|
### `update()`
|
|
|
|
> Updates the `EEPROM` header with the current status quo, including the version
|
|
> and the CRC checksum.
|
|
>
|
|
> This should be called when upgrading from one version to another, or when
|
|
> fixing up an out-of-sync case.
|
|
|
|
### `isValid()`
|
|
|
|
> Returns whether the `EEPROM` header is valid, that is, if it has the expected
|
|
> CRC checksum.
|
|
>
|
|
> Should only be called after calling `seal()`.
|
|
|
|
### `invalidate()`
|
|
|
|
> Invalidates the `EEPROM` header. Use when the version does not match what the
|
|
> firmware would expect. This signals to other plugins that the contents of
|
|
> `EEPROM` should not be trusted.
|
|
|
|
### `version([newVersion])`
|
|
|
|
> Sets or returns the version of the `EEPROM` layout. This is purely for use by
|
|
> the firmware, so it can attempt to upgrade the contents, if need be, or alert
|
|
> the user in there's a mismatch. Plugins do not use this property.
|
|
>
|
|
> Should only be called after calling `seal()`.
|
|
|
|
### `crc()`
|
|
|
|
> Returns the CRC checksum of the layout. Should only be used after calling
|
|
> `seal()`.
|
|
|
|
### `used()`
|
|
|
|
> Returns the amount of space requested so far.
|
|
>
|
|
> Should only be used after calling `seal()`.
|
|
|
|
## Focus Hooks
|
|
|
|
The plugin provides two [Focus][focus] hooks: `FOCUS_HOOK_SETTINGS`, and
|
|
`FOCUS_HOOK_EEPROM`, that register commands that allow one to work with the
|
|
settings, and with the contents of the `EEPROM` through Focus.
