如何高效解析不定长度的协议帧

通信设计中考虑协议的灵活性，经常把协议设计成“不定长度”。一个实例如下图：锐米LoRa终端的通信协议帧。

如果一个系统接收上述“不定长度”的协议帧，将会有一个挑战--如何高效接收与解析。

为简化系统设计，我们强烈建议您采用“状态机”来解析UART数据帧，并且把解析工作放在ISR（中断服务程序）完成，仅当接收到最后一个字节（0x0D）时，再将整个数据帧提交给进程处理。

该解析状态机的原理如下图所示：

那么ISR处理这个状态机来得及吗？答案是：so easy！因为它只有3个动作，运算量十分小：

比较接收数据 -> 更新状态变量 -> 存储接收数据，C语言仅3条语句，翻译成机器指令也不超过10条。

代码清单如下：
 

/**

{
    STATUS_IDLE = (uint8_t)0,
    STATUS_HEAD, /* Rx Head=0x3C */

    STATUS_TAIL, /* Tail=0x0D */
    STATUS_END, /* End of this frame */
} COMM_TRM_STATUS_TypeDef;

{
    uint8_t    byCnt; /* Count of 1 field */

    uint8_t    byFrameLen; /* Length of frame */
    COMM_TRM_STATUS_TypeDef    eRxStatus;
    uint8_t    a_byRxBuf[MAX_LEN_COMM_TRM_DATA]; 
} COMM_TRM_DATA;
