FLEM Serial Rust

This library is meant to be an easy to use serial implementation of FLEM.

Changelog

0.3.2

• Disconnect now disposes of the serial port object. This fixes an issue when using connect subsequent times.

0.3.1

• Expanded ConnectionSettings to include parity, stop bits, and flow control.
• Added update_connection_settings to FlemSerial to alter the connection settings.

0.3.0

• Updated flem-serial-rs to use the new flem::traits::Channel, this is a breaking change

What is FLEM

FLEM stands for Flexible, Lightweight, Embedded Messaging protocol. It is designed to work on embedded targets as well as host devices using a common codebase to encode and decode any type of data that can be converted to a byte array.

Why would I use this?

If you need to get data to and from an embedded target using UART communications, this is a candidate solution.

How do I use this?

• Setup FLEM on an embedded target. This is extremely device specific, but we have used FLEM on the TM4C and STM32 processors. Stay tuned for a starter project on the STM32 Nucleo. In general, configure the embedded targets UART peripheral, and follow examples in FLEM to construct() a packet, handle the packet, and transmit a response. Alternatively, the embedded target can spontanesouly emit packet through events.
• Setup a Rust program on the host device that uses this library. Follow the flem_serial_example.rs to list ports, connect to a target port, send packets, and receive / handle packets.
