XML file format as configuration of Reader Device Info File, goofy.liu
Following Items for each reader device info
1) USB-HID VID+PID mapping, possible contains couple or more mapping list for one device.
2) RS232 Baud rate Default Value(BRDV)
2.1) FW mode BRDV = auto/9600/19200/... (list form, at least one setting)
2.2) BL mode BRDB = same as 2.1)
3) Delay time settings for several time critical check points, such as Tx Rx ...
This may be defined as NEO command set mapped to Delay Time
4) Recv Frame Garbage Mode. This future is required for Audio jack to RS232 interface.
This future may dramatically increase recv time for heavy download behavior from mobile reader
to app's host.
5) Others settings...
Download Image And Connected Reader Pairing Verification before download starting. goofy.liu
(A) To Calculate the download start address + address range (Boot1,Boot2,and/or Application),
(B) To identify connected reader by retrieving version string (StrA)--> Get Address+Range by Look-up Table.
(C) Get Reader Name Tag (StrB) From Script File (2nd Line in Text Form) --> Compare StrA : StrB
(D) Image Comparison Mode
