Note:  FreeModbus project uses a variable and routine naming scheme where many names begin with one or two lower-case characters.  From context in the file ./modbus/mb.c, it looks like 'uc' may stand for 'unsigned char' data type.  The starting lower case 'e' stands for 'enumeration':
 +
 +
62 static UCHAR    ucMBAddress;
 +
63 static eMBMode  eMBCurrentMode;

This search result may not be directly useful to getting a first modbus routine running and testable:
  
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
Line 102: Line 166:
 
./modbus/mb.c:153:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBRTUReceiveFSM;
 
./modbus/mb.c:153:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBRTUReceiveFSM;
 
./modbus/mb.c:167:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBASCIIReceiveFSM;
 
./modbus/mb.c:167:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBASCIIReceiveFSM;
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
We notice, however, that in <code>[project]/Modbus/mb.c</code> in routine eMBPoll() there is a switch statement which selects code per events of a state machine.  The enumerated event <code>eEvent</code> can take on the value 'EV_FRAME_RECEIVED'.  When this occurs, this part of the FreeModbus library calls a function pointer, which is set to one of two functions based on Modbus protocol version RTU or ASCII.  The function pointer is named <code>peMBFrameReceiveCur</code> and by assigned in routine <code>eMBPoll()</code> points to <code>eMBRTUReceive</code>.
 +
 +
Search for the Modbus RTU receive frame function:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
$ grep -nr eMBRTUReceive ./*
 +
./mb.c:167:            peMBFrameReceiveCur = eMBRTUReceive;
 +
./rtu/mbrtu.c:153:eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength )
 +
./rtu/mbrtu.h:40:eMBErrorCode    eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength );
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
This function eMBRTUReceive is defined as follows:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
eMBErrorCode
 +
eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength )
 +
{
 +
    BOOL            xFrameReceived = FALSE;
 +
    eMBErrorCode    eStatus = MB_ENOERR;
 +
 +
    ENTER_CRITICAL_SECTION(  );
 +
    assert( usRcvBufferPos < MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_MAX );
 +
 +
    /* Length and CRC check */
 +
    if( ( usRcvBufferPos >= MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_MIN )
 +
        && ( usMBCRC16( ( UCHAR * ) ucRTUBuf, usRcvBufferPos ) == 0 ) )
 +
    {
 +
        /* Save the address field. All frames are passed to the upper layed
 +
        * and the decision if a frame is used is done there.
 +
        */
 +
        *pucRcvAddress = ucRTUBuf[MB_SER_PDU_ADDR_OFF];
 +
 +
        /* Total length of Modbus-PDU is Modbus-Serial-Line-PDU minus
 +
        * size of address field and CRC checksum.
 +
        */
 +
        *pusLength = ( USHORT )( usRcvBufferPos - MB_SER_PDU_PDU_OFF - MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_CRC );
 +
 +
        /* Return the start of the Modbus PDU to the caller. */
 +
        *pucFrame = ( UCHAR * ) & ucRTUBuf[MB_SER_PDU_PDU_OFF];
 +
        xFrameReceived = TRUE;
 +
    }
 +
    else
 +
    {
 +
        eStatus = MB_EIO;
 +
    }
 +
 +
    EXIT_CRITICAL_SECTION(  );
 +
    return eStatus;
 +
}
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
So there is also an eMBRTUInit() function,
 +
 +
  eMBRTUInit( UCHAR ucSlaveAddress, UCHAR ucPort, ULONG ulBaudRate, eMBParity eParity )
 +
 +
which itself calls a function named <code> xMBPortSerialInit( ucPort, ulBaudRate, 8, eParity )</code>, but is this actually executing when we start our firmware running?
 +
 +
=== [[#top|^]] edit point ===
 +
 +
QUESTION:  is this actually executing when we start our firmware running?
 +
 +
ANSWER:  according to IAR Workbench yes.
 +
 +
QUESTION:  what causes the event 'EV_FRAME_RECEIVED'?
 +
 +
ANSWER:  From the following excerpt of pattern matching results, it looks like there is just one place this event gets posted, and this occurs by means of a line of code in <code>mbrtu.c</code>:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
Binary file ./Modbus/.mb.c.swp matches
 +
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:294:            xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );
 +
./Modbus/include/mbport.h:42:    EV_FRAME_RECEIVED,          /*!< Frame received. */
 +
./Modbus/mb.c:411:        case EV_FRAME_RECEIVED:
 +
Binary file ./Modbus/rtu/.mbrtu.c.swp matches
 +
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:340:        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
The routine where this happens is:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
BOOL
 +
xMBRTUTimerT35Expired( void )
 +
{
 +
    BOOL            xNeedPoll = FALSE;
 +
 +
    switch ( eRcvState )
 +
    {
 +
        /* Timer t35 expired. Startup phase is finished. */
 +
    case STATE_RX_INIT:
 +
        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_READY );
 +
        break;
 +
 +
        /* A frame was received and t35 expired. Notify the listener that
 +
        * a new frame was received. */
 +
    case STATE_RX_RCV:
 +
        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );
 +
        break;
 +
 +
        /* An error occured while receiving the frame. */
 +
    case STATE_RX_ERROR:
 +
        break;
 +
 +
        /* Function called in an illegal state. */
 +
    default:
 +
        assert( ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_INIT ) ||
 +
                ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_RCV ) || ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_ERROR ) );
 +
    }
 +
 +
    vMBPortTimersDisable(  );
 +
    eRcvState = STATE_RX_IDLE;
 +
 +
    return xNeedPoll;
 +
}
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
=== [[#top|^]] edit point - routine xMBRTUTimerT35Expired called? ===
 +
 +
QUESTION 1 OF 3:  Is this timer routine ever running?
 +
 +
ANSWER 1 OF 3:  not running per IAR breakpoint at first switch statement!
 +
 +
QUESTION 2 OF 3:  What must we implement or at least uncomment in <code>mbportserial.c</code> routine:
 +
<pre>
 +
BOOL
 +
xMBPortSerialGetByte( CHAR * pucByte )
 +
{
 +
#if 0
 +
  while( !( U1LSR & 0x01 ) )
 +
    {
 +
    }
 +
 +
    /* Receive Byte */
 +
    *pucByte = U1RBR;
 +
#endif
 +
    return TRUE;
 +
}
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
QUESTION 3 OF 3:  where among FreeModbus demos appear <code>xMBPortSerialGetByte</code> and <code>xMBRTUTimerT35Expired</code>?
 +
 +
ANSWER 3 OF 3:  <code>xMBRTUTimerT35Expired</code> appears in no demos.  <code>xMBPortSerialGetByte</code> appears in all or nearly all the demos.  We note also at this time that the register name U1RBR appears to be LPC21xx specific, as this does not appear in the LPC11U6x datasheet.  Looking now to the serial based Command Line Interface (CLI) code, what may we find for reading single bytes from a UART input buffer there? . . .
 +
 +
QUESTION:  what is the "xMBPortSerialGetByte" routine in L S command line interface?
 +
 +
ANSWER:
 +
 +
To find the "get byte" equivalent in CLI code, we follow that uart.c routine ___ calls ./lpc_chip/chip_11u6x/uart_0_11u6x.c routine <code>Chip_UART0_ReadRB()</code>, defined:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
206 /* Copy data from a receive ring buffer */
 +
207 int Chip_UART0_ReadRB(LPC_USART0_T *pUART, RINGBUFF_T *pRB, void *data, int bytes)
 +
208 {
 +
209        (void) pUART;
 +
210
 +
211        return RingBuffer_PopMult(pRB, (uint8_t *) data, bytes);
 +
212 }
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
The routine RingBuffer_PopMult() does not reveal any details about a receive byte register or buffer name for LPC11U6X UART0.  But returning to an earlier question about how to link or associate an LPC timer event with an interrupt service routine, we note that in the older, custom modbus.c there is a routine named SilenceTimerCallback(), which may be used for recognizing the 3.5 character width timing delays between Modbus PDUs or data packets.  And in uart.c, there is a reference to this function on line 353:

== [[#top|^]] Modbus register input callback routine ==
 +
 +
Here is a search history, some searches run in the STR71X demo.  These variables and routines look more promising in terms of telling us how to implement a routine of our own which properly ties in with FreeModbus library code.  What these variables and routines lead us to examine, is how the code developers, us, using FreeModbus can return data from a device to a meaningful place in memory, which FreeModbus then reads and send out along the physical link layer to a given Modbus master.
 +
 +
From the following searches,
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
1004  grep -nr usRegInputBuf ./*
 +
1005  grep -n pucRegBuffer ./*
 +
1006  # eMBRegInputCB, third token for which to search
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
We quickly come to the routine named eMBRegInputCB().  It turns out this routine is implemented in various FreeModbus demos, which is to say it is not a FreeModbus library routine.  But part of FreeModbus library source calls or needs to call a routine by this name.  So it looks like as users of FreeModbus, we are bound to define a routine by this name and with its enumerated return type and parameter list as defined in <code>freemodbus-v1.5.0/modbus/include/mb.h</code>.
 +
 +
Variable <code>usRegInputBuf</code> is in source file simple2.c a static array of bytes, which hold values that a Modbus function returns,
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
<./simple2.c:42:static unsigned short usRegInputBuf[REG_INPUT_NREGS];
 +
./simple2.c:76:        usRegInputBuf[0]++;
 +
./simple2.c:79:        usRegInputBuf[1] = ( unsigned portSHORT )( xLastWakeTime >> 16UL );
 +
./simple2.c:80:        usRegInputBuf[2] = ( unsigned portSHORT )( xLastWakeTime & 0xFFFFUL );
 +
./simple2.c:82:        usRegInputBuf[3] = 33;
 +
./simple2.c:99:                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] >> 8 );
 +
./simple2.c:101:                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] & 0xFF );
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
We look then at <code>pucRegBuffer</code> because of the following assignments in a callback routine of this demo:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
86 eMBErrorCode
 +
87 eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
88 {
 +
89    eMBErrorCode    eStatus = MB_ENOERR;
 +
90    int            iRegIndex;
 +
91
 +
92    if( ( usAddress >= REG_INPUT_START )
 +
93        && ( usAddress + usNRegs <= REG_INPUT_START + REG_INPUT_NREGS ) )
 +
94    {
 +
95        iRegIndex = ( int )( usAddress - usRegInputStart );
 +
96        while( usNRegs > 0 )
 +
97        {
 +
98            *pucRegBuffer++ =
 +
99                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] >> 8 );
 +
100            *pucRegBuffer++ =
 +
101                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] & 0xFF );
 +
102            iRegIndex++;
 +
103            usNRegs--;
 +
104        }
 +
105    }
 +
106    else
 +
107    {
 +
108        eStatus = MB_ENOREG;
 +
109    }
 +
110
 +
111    return eStatus;
 +
112 }
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Now the question is, which code calls the routine <code>eMBErrorCode eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )</code>?  This routine is not called by any code in this specific demo:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
$ grep -nr -A 1 eMBRegInputCB ./*
 +
./excoils.c:130:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
./excoils.c-131-{
 +
--
 +
./exdisc.c:118:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
./exdisc.c-119-{
 +
--
 +
./exholding.c:86:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
./exholding.c-87-{
 +
--
 +
./simple2.c:87:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
./simple2.c-88-{
 +
--
 +
./simple.c:94:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 +
./simple.c-95-{
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
 +
Looking now a level or two up and at the FreeModbus library sources . . . there is a longer function in file <code>./modbus/functions/mbfuncinput.c </code> but worth noting here, as it parses the modbus PDU to figure out what type of PDU read versus write it is, and how many bytes are expected to follow or are being requested.  Worth noting the function definition in full here:
 +
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
 +
/* ----------------------- Start implementation -----------------------------*/
 +
#if MB_FUNC_READ_INPUT_ENABLED > 0
 +
 +
eMBException
 +
eMBFuncReadInputRegister( UCHAR * pucFrame, USHORT * usLen )
 +
{
 +
    USHORT          usRegAddress;
 +
    USHORT          usRegCount;
 +
    UCHAR          *pucFrameCur;
 +
 +
    eMBException    eStatus = MB_EX_NONE;
 +
    eMBErrorCode    eRegStatus;
 +
 +
    if( *usLen == ( MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_SIZE + MB_PDU_SIZE_MIN ) )
 +
    { 
 +
        usRegAddress = ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_ADDR_OFF] << 8 );
 +
        usRegAddress |= ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_ADDR_OFF + 1] );
 +
        usRegAddress++;
 +
 +
        usRegCount = ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_REGCNT_OFF] << 8 );
 +
        usRegCount |= ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_REGCNT_OFF + 1] );
 +
 +
        /* Check if the number of registers to read is valid. If not
 +
        * return Modbus illegal data value exception.
 +
        */
 +
        if( ( usRegCount >= 1 )
 +
            && ( usRegCount < MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_REGCNT_MAX ) )
 +
        {
 +
            /* Set the current PDU data pointer to the beginning. */
 +
            pucFrameCur = &pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_OFF];
 +
            *usLen = MB_PDU_FUNC_OFF;
 +
 +
            /* First byte contains the function code. */
 +
            *pucFrameCur++ = MB_FUNC_READ_INPUT_REGISTER;
 +
            *usLen += 1;
 +
 +
            /* Second byte in the response contain the number of bytes. */
 +
            *pucFrameCur++ = ( UCHAR )( usRegCount * 2 );
 +
            *usLen += 1;
 +
 +
            eRegStatus =
 +
                eMBRegInputCB( pucFrameCur, usRegAddress, usRegCount );

In following paragraph, FreeModbus source files are ./mb.c, ./rtu/mbrtu.c, and ./port/mv_portserial.c.
 +
 
 +
In our case, FreeModbus routine <code>eMBInit()</code> calls routine <code>eMBRTUInit()</code>.  Routine eMBRTUInit() seems to ignore the caller's passed Modbus slave device address . . . strange.  This routine in turn calls <code>xMBPortSerialInit()</code> with parameters: &nbsp;ucPort, ulBaudRate, 8, eParity. . . .
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Aside question:  in the Kargs BACNet stack what does the following line of code carry out?
 +
 
 +
  # ./BACnet/src/mstp.c:307:                mstp_port->SilenceTimerReset((void *) mstp_port);

OVERVIEW

Notes on Modbus protocol, and references to one or more Modbus protocol libraries, written in C and usable in Unix and Linux envorinments.


The following web site does one of the better jobs of describing Modbus protocol clearly, and with multiple examples.

This IPC2U site combined with code snippets from a Github gist authored and shared by J Grossholtz is sufficient to write a C program which can make a PC act as a Modbus enabled device. While compiling an first test program using this library, encountered need to include library path to gcc.

How to specify preference of library path to C compiler and linker:


Stackoverflow post showing libmodbus based sender and listener code snippets:

J. Grossholtz Github gist with modbus server and client sample C programs:

On systems supporting standard C and its libraries, `libmodbus` may be used to create programs which act as Modbus controllers (sending commands) and or peripherals (responding to commamds).


OVERVIEW CERCA 2019

This wiki article contains some notes and references on FreeModbus, an opensource C library to support a Modbus protocol stack in stand-alone applications as well as operating system and scheduler based systems. This article also contains a number of links to more general C language references, which discuss function pointers in C, and the type defining of function pointers.

A few links:

^ Modbus and Zephyr RTOS

UART hardware driver types in Zephyr RTOS project: "doc/hardware/peripherals/uart.rst" 77L, 1979C


^ Freemodbus Notes from 2019

Note: FreeModbus project uses a variable and routine naming scheme where many names begin with one or two lower-case characters. From context in the file ./modbus/mb.c, it looks like 'uc' may stand for 'unsigned char' data type. The starting lower case 'e' stands for 'enumeration': 

62 static UCHAR    ucMBAddress;
63 static eMBMode  eMBCurrentMode;


- 2019-11-08 FRI -

When working with FreeModbus, be sure to pay attention to the versions of protocol available, and likely, we only want to enable one of these. See Modbus/include/mbconfig.h. See also Modbus/include/mb.h for instructions on how to initialize and begin to use an instance of FreeModbus stack in given program. Also mention that eMBPoll() routine may be set up as a task in an RTOS, to realize the periodic polling which is part of the stack's runtime manifestation . . .

Looks like also this function to register callbacks for end-user-device-specific Modbus registers will be important: 

  eMBErrorCode eMBRegisterCB ( UCHAR ucFunctionCode,
    pxMBFunctionHandler pxHandler
  )

This function signature part of documentation found at https://www.embedded-solutions.at/en/freemodbus/api-documentation/, which gives Doxygen generated API help in an embedded pane in the browser window on which it is visited.


2019-11-12 Tuesday - trying to figure out how pxMBFunctionHandler is defined . . . from http://www.teamfdi.com/uez/docs/mbproto_8h.html: 

 Typedefs
 typedef eMBException(* pxMBFunctionHandler )(UCHAR *pucFrame, USHORT *pusLength)

...from this typedef looks like Modbus routines implemented by the end user/end designer must have parameter lists which match "unsigned char pointer, unsigned integer pointer".


2019-11-13 Further search for FreeModbus callback registering code" 

downloads/freemodbus/freemodbus-v1.5.0$ grep -nr pxMBFunctionHandler ./*
./modbus/mb.c:226:eMBRegisterCB( UCHAR ucFunctionCode, pxMBFunctionHandler pxHandler )

./modbus/include/mb.h:266:                               pxMBFunctionHandler pxHandler )

^ Obscurely defined FreeModbus variables

Where is the following demo/LPC214X/port/port.c variable defined? Does not appear defined in any file of FreeModbus 1.5.0 download. Note however that this may be an LPC microcontroller register name: 

  VICIntEnable

See http://www.keil.com/dd/vtr/3880/9794.htm for a brief mention of this term. - TMH



^ Modbus frames and frame handling

This search result may not be directly useful to getting a first modbus routine running and testable: 

./modbus/include/mbport.h:109:extern          BOOL( *pxMBFrameCBByteReceived ) ( void );
Binary file ./modbus/include/.mbport.h.swp matches
./modbus/mb.c:85:BOOL( *pxMBFrameCBByteReceived ) ( void );
./modbus/mb.c:153:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBRTUReceiveFSM;
./modbus/mb.c:167:            pxMBFrameCBByteReceived = xMBASCIIReceiveFSM;

We notice, however, that in [project]/Modbus/mb.c in routine eMBPoll() there is a switch statement which selects code per events of a state machine. The enumerated event eEvent can take on the value 'EV_FRAME_RECEIVED'. When this occurs, this part of the FreeModbus library calls a function pointer, which is set to one of two functions based on Modbus protocol version RTU or ASCII. The function pointer is named peMBFrameReceiveCur and by assigned in routine eMBPoll() points to eMBRTUReceive.

Search for the Modbus RTU receive frame function: 

$ grep -nr eMBRTUReceive ./*
./mb.c:167:            peMBFrameReceiveCur = eMBRTUReceive;
./rtu/mbrtu.c:153:eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength )
./rtu/mbrtu.h:40:eMBErrorCode    eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength );

This function eMBRTUReceive is defined as follows: 

eMBErrorCode
eMBRTUReceive( UCHAR * pucRcvAddress, UCHAR ** pucFrame, USHORT * pusLength )
{
    BOOL            xFrameReceived = FALSE;
    eMBErrorCode    eStatus = MB_ENOERR;

    ENTER_CRITICAL_SECTION(  );
    assert( usRcvBufferPos < MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_MAX );

    /* Length and CRC check */
    if( ( usRcvBufferPos >= MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_MIN )
        && ( usMBCRC16( ( UCHAR * ) ucRTUBuf, usRcvBufferPos ) == 0 ) )
    {
        /* Save the address field. All frames are passed to the upper layed
         * and the decision if a frame is used is done there.
         */
        *pucRcvAddress = ucRTUBuf[MB_SER_PDU_ADDR_OFF];

        /* Total length of Modbus-PDU is Modbus-Serial-Line-PDU minus
         * size of address field and CRC checksum.
         */
        *pusLength = ( USHORT )( usRcvBufferPos - MB_SER_PDU_PDU_OFF - MB_SER_PDU_SIZE_CRC );

        /* Return the start of the Modbus PDU to the caller. */
        *pucFrame = ( UCHAR * ) & ucRTUBuf[MB_SER_PDU_PDU_OFF];
        xFrameReceived = TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
        eStatus = MB_EIO;
    }

    EXIT_CRITICAL_SECTION(  );
    return eStatus;
}

So there is also an eMBRTUInit() function, 

  eMBRTUInit( UCHAR ucSlaveAddress, UCHAR ucPort, ULONG ulBaudRate, eMBParity eParity )

which itself calls a function named xMBPortSerialInit( ucPort, ulBaudRate, 8, eParity ), but is this actually executing when we start our firmware running?

^ edit point

QUESTION: is this actually executing when we start our firmware running?

ANSWER: according to IAR Workbench yes.

QUESTION: what causes the event 'EV_FRAME_RECEIVED'?

ANSWER: From the following excerpt of pattern matching results, it looks like there is just one place this event gets posted, and this occurs by means of a line of code in mbrtu.c: 

Binary file ./Modbus/.mb.c.swp matches
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:294:            xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );
./Modbus/include/mbport.h:42:    EV_FRAME_RECEIVED,          /*!< Frame received. */
./Modbus/mb.c:411:        case EV_FRAME_RECEIVED:
Binary file ./Modbus/rtu/.mbrtu.c.swp matches
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:340:        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );

The routine where this happens is: 

BOOL
xMBRTUTimerT35Expired( void )
{
    BOOL            xNeedPoll = FALSE;

    switch ( eRcvState )
    {
        /* Timer t35 expired. Startup phase is finished. */
    case STATE_RX_INIT:
        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_READY );
        break;

        /* A frame was received and t35 expired. Notify the listener that
         * a new frame was received. */
    case STATE_RX_RCV:
        xNeedPoll = xMBPortEventPost( EV_FRAME_RECEIVED );
        break;

        /* An error occured while receiving the frame. */
    case STATE_RX_ERROR:
        break;

        /* Function called in an illegal state. */
    default:
        assert( ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_INIT ) ||
                ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_RCV ) || ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_ERROR ) );
    }

    vMBPortTimersDisable(  );
    eRcvState = STATE_RX_IDLE;

    return xNeedPoll;
}

^ edit point - routine xMBRTUTimerT35Expired called?

QUESTION 1 OF 3: Is this timer routine ever running?

ANSWER 1 OF 3: not running per IAR breakpoint at first switch statement!

QUESTION 2 OF 3: What must we implement or at least uncomment in mbportserial.c routine: 

BOOL
xMBPortSerialGetByte( CHAR * pucByte )
{
#if 0
  while( !( U1LSR & 0x01 ) )
    {
    }

    /* Receive Byte */
    *pucByte = U1RBR;
#endif
    return TRUE;
}

QUESTION 3 OF 3: where among FreeModbus demos appear xMBPortSerialGetByte and xMBRTUTimerT35Expired?

ANSWER 3 OF 3: xMBRTUTimerT35Expired appears in no demos. xMBPortSerialGetByte appears in all or nearly all the demos. We note also at this time that the register name U1RBR appears to be LPC21xx specific, as this does not appear in the LPC11U6x datasheet. Looking now to the serial based Command Line Interface (CLI) code, what may we find for reading single bytes from a UART input buffer there? . . .

QUESTION: what is the "xMBPortSerialGetByte" routine in L S command line interface?

ANSWER:

To find the "get byte" equivalent in CLI code, we follow that uart.c routine ___ calls ./lpc_chip/chip_11u6x/uart_0_11u6x.c routine Chip_UART0_ReadRB(), defined: 

206 /* Copy data from a receive ring buffer */
207 int Chip_UART0_ReadRB(LPC_USART0_T *pUART, RINGBUFF_T *pRB, void *data, int bytes)
208 {
209         (void) pUART;
210
211         return RingBuffer_PopMult(pRB, (uint8_t *) data, bytes);
212 }

The routine RingBuffer_PopMult() does not reveal any details about a receive byte register or buffer name for LPC11U6X UART0. But returning to an earlier question about how to link or associate an LPC timer event with an interrupt service routine, we note that in the older, custom modbus.c there is a routine named SilenceTimerCallback(), which may be used for recognizing the 3.5 character width timing delays between Modbus PDUs or data packets. And in uart.c, there is a reference to this function on line 353:

    if(ModbusSilenceTimer == 0)
    {
        ModbusSilenceTimer = xTimerCreate("ModbusSilenceTimer",
            10*3*10*1000/MODBUS_RATE, pdFALSE, 0, &SilenceTimerCallback);
    }
#endif

  return;
}



^ Modbus register input callback routine

Here is a search history, some searches run in the STR71X demo. These variables and routines look more promising in terms of telling us how to implement a routine of our own which properly ties in with FreeModbus library code. What these variables and routines lead us to examine, is how the code developers, us, using FreeModbus can return data from a device to a meaningful place in memory, which FreeModbus then reads and send out along the physical link layer to a given Modbus master.

From the following searches, 

 1004  grep -nr usRegInputBuf ./*
 1005  grep -n pucRegBuffer ./*
 1006  # eMBRegInputCB, third token for which to search

We quickly come to the routine named eMBRegInputCB(). It turns out this routine is implemented in various FreeModbus demos, which is to say it is not a FreeModbus library routine. But part of FreeModbus library source calls or needs to call a routine by this name. So it looks like as users of FreeModbus, we are bound to define a routine by this name and with its enumerated return type and parameter list as defined in freemodbus-v1.5.0/modbus/include/mb.h.

Variable usRegInputBuf is in source file simple2.c a static array of bytes, which hold values that a Modbus function returns, 

<./simple2.c:42:static unsigned short usRegInputBuf[REG_INPUT_NREGS];
./simple2.c:76:        usRegInputBuf[0]++;
./simple2.c:79:        usRegInputBuf[1] = ( unsigned portSHORT )( xLastWakeTime >> 16UL );
./simple2.c:80:        usRegInputBuf[2] = ( unsigned portSHORT )( xLastWakeTime & 0xFFFFUL );
./simple2.c:82:        usRegInputBuf[3] = 33;
./simple2.c:99:                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] >> 8 );
./simple2.c:101:                ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] & 0xFF );

We look then at pucRegBuffer because of the following assignments in a callback routine of this demo: 

 86 eMBErrorCode
 87 eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
 88 {
 89     eMBErrorCode    eStatus = MB_ENOERR;
 90     int             iRegIndex;
 91 
 92     if( ( usAddress >= REG_INPUT_START )
 93         && ( usAddress + usNRegs <= REG_INPUT_START + REG_INPUT_NREGS ) )
 94     {
 95         iRegIndex = ( int )( usAddress - usRegInputStart );
 96         while( usNRegs > 0 )
 97         {
 98             *pucRegBuffer++ =
 99                 ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] >> 8 );
100             *pucRegBuffer++ =
101                 ( unsigned char )( usRegInputBuf[iRegIndex] & 0xFF );
102             iRegIndex++;
103             usNRegs--;
104         }
105     }
106     else
107     {
108         eStatus = MB_ENOREG;
109     }
110 
111     return eStatus;
112 }

Now the question is, which code calls the routine eMBErrorCode eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )? This routine is not called by any code in this specific demo: 

$ grep -nr -A 1 eMBRegInputCB ./*
./excoils.c:130:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
./excoils.c-131-{
--
./exdisc.c:118:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
./exdisc.c-119-{
--
./exholding.c:86:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
./exholding.c-87-{

./simple2.c-88-{
--
./simple.c:94:eMBRegInputCB( UCHAR * pucRegBuffer, USHORT usAddress, USHORT usNRegs )
./simple.c-95-{


Looking now a level or two up and at the FreeModbus library sources . . . there is a longer function in file ./modbus/functions/mbfuncinput.c but worth noting here, as it parses the modbus PDU to figure out what type of PDU read versus write it is, and how many bytes are expected to follow or are being requested. Worth noting the function definition in full here: 

/* ----------------------- Start implementation -----------------------------*/
#if MB_FUNC_READ_INPUT_ENABLED > 0

eMBException
eMBFuncReadInputRegister( UCHAR * pucFrame, USHORT * usLen )
{
    USHORT          usRegAddress;
    USHORT          usRegCount;
    UCHAR          *pucFrameCur;

    eMBException    eStatus = MB_EX_NONE;
    eMBErrorCode    eRegStatus;

    if( *usLen == ( MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_SIZE + MB_PDU_SIZE_MIN ) ) 
    {   
        usRegAddress = ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_ADDR_OFF] << 8 );
        usRegAddress |= ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_ADDR_OFF + 1] );
        usRegAddress++;

        usRegCount = ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_REGCNT_OFF] << 8 );
        usRegCount |= ( USHORT )( pucFrame[MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_REGCNT_OFF + 1] );

        /* Check if the number of registers to read is valid. If not
         * return Modbus illegal data value exception.

^ Modbus RTU

2019-11-20 Question: how does FreeModbus RTU protocol version get to the state of "received frame"? 

$ grep -nr STATE_RX_RCV ./* | grep -v '^Binary'
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:61:    STATE_RX_RCV,               /*!< Frame is beeing received. */
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:237:    case STATE_RX_RCV:
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:301:            eRcvState = STATE_RX_RCV;
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:321:            eRcvState = STATE_RX_RCV;
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:417:    case STATE_RX_RCV:
./Modbus/ascii/mbascii.c:423:        assert( ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_RCV ) || ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_WAIT_EOF ) );
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:58:    STATE_RX_RCV,               /*!< Frame is beeing received. */
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:261:        eRcvState = STATE_RX_RCV;
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:272:    case STATE_RX_RCV:
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:339:    case STATE_RX_RCV:
./Modbus/rtu/mbrtu.c:350:                ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_RCV ) || ( eRcvState == STATE_RX_ERROR ) );


In following paragraph, FreeModbus source files are ./mb.c, ./rtu/mbrtu.c, and ./port/mv_portserial.c.

In our case, FreeModbus routine eMBInit() calls routine eMBRTUInit(). Routine eMBRTUInit() seems to ignore the caller's passed Modbus slave device address . . . strange. This routine in turn calls xMBPortSerialInit() with parameters:  ucPort, ulBaudRate, 8, eParity. . . .


Aside question: in the Kargs BACNet stack what does the following line of code carry out? 

  # ./BACnet/src/mstp.c:307:                mstp_port->SilenceTimerReset((void *) mstp_port);
