RMT receiving oddities

Posted: Sun May 11, 2025 1:07 pm

I'm implementing transmitters and receivers for the SENT (SAE J2716) protocol, a tick-based protocol (default tick length 3µs), which transmits a SYNC pulse (length 56 ticks), then 6 + 2 nibbles based pulses with different lengths (12 + nibble-value). Here's an example from my scope:

Sending this using RMT is straightforward and works very well.

Receiving though seems to be more complicated. Note that I do my decoding decoupled from the rx callback
and have the callback marked w/ IRAM_ATTR.
Here's portions from my code so you can see how I'm initializing RMT:

Code: Select all

    void init() {
        // Configure RMT RX channel
        rmt_rx_channel_config_t rx_channel_config = {
            .gpio_num = gpio_num_,
            .clk_src = RMT_CLK_SRC_DEFAULT,
            .resolution_hz = 1'000'000,  // 1 MHz, 1 tick = 1 µs
            .mem_block_symbols = MemBlockBuffer,
        };
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(rmt_new_rx_channel(&rx_channel_config, &rmt_channel_));

        // Install RX done callback
        rmt_rx_event_callbacks_t cbs = {
            .on_recv_done = rxDoneCallback,
        };
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(rmt_rx_register_event_callbacks(rmt_channel_, &cbs, this));

        // Enable RMT RX channel
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(rmt_enable(rmt_channel_));

        startReceive();
    }

    void startReceive() {
        // Allocate buffer for received symbols
        static rmt_symbol_word_t symbols[MemBlockBuffer];   // Maximum supported by hardware
        // Configure RX parameters - adjust for our tick period
        auto config = rmt_receive_config_t {
            .signal_range_min_ns = 1 * 1000,     // 1µs resolution
            .signal_range_max_ns = 100 * 1000,   // Max sync high pulse
        };
        ESP_ERROR_CHECK(rmt_receive(rmt_channel_, symbols, sizeof(symbols), &config));
    }
My concrete example (as seen on the scope) is using a 3µs tick time. SENT pulse lengths are always measured from falling edge to falling edge.

Here's the log output trying to receive 5 frames:

The problem: I can't seem to set the parameters correctly to receive SYNC pulses. SYNC pulses are supposed to have a length of 168µs, but when I try to configure it like that:

Code: Select all

        auto config = rmt_receive_config_t {
            .signal_range_min_ns = 1 * 1000,     // 1µs resolution
            .signal_range_max_ns = 175 * 1000,   // Max sync high pulse
        };
Then nothing works anymore and I'm just getting a loop full of:

Code: Select all

E rmt: user buffer too small, received symbols truncated
Now: Limiting signal_range_max_ns to 100 * 1000 seems to work somewhat, at least I can see the data nibbles being correctly deciphered. But then I can't no longer read the 168µs SYNC pulse and instead I'm getting spurious symbols with length 0. If you see compare the log output, you'll see that I frequently get those "in the middle" of the correctly detected symbols. Since I can rule out the sender doing strange things, the receiver must be the problem.

What is happening here? Why is the signal_range_max_ns not allowing 175 and why am I getting 0 lengths (followed by symbols where the polarity is switched, e.g. level0 is HIGH and level1 is LOW whereas they're typically vice versa).

And just after looking for 2 days without a clue, but then formulating the question, I stumbled over the .en_partial_rx flag.
Enabling this did the trick and I'm now a) getting my SYNC pulses and b) no longer spurious 0 lengths:

I'm afraid I don't understand why a larger maximum requires a larger buffer (isn't it just grabbing edges and therefore a longer maximum should require a smaller buffer?), but lo and behold: IT WORKS!

hi
.signal_range_max_ns = 100 * 1000, // Max sync high pulse
This is a stop reception signal - distance between 2 fronts
If the interval is exceeded - rmt gives interval length = 0, sign of end of reception
if you put
.signal_range_max_ns = 175 * 1000
The receiver will receive data until it encounters a longer interval or the internal rmt buffer is full.
.mem_block_symbols = MemBlockBuffer;
flag setting
.en_partial_rx
puts the receiver into ping/pong mode and allows you to receive almost unlimited data in batches and give it back in batches if necessary.
