Hi Marcello,

Thank you. This is very interesting. But I’m not sure this format suits the same goals. It’s more a simple storage format than a transmission protocol. And it takes much more data to transmit messages.

Nevertheless, this is might be a very good solution to store some array of data on the chip so that it can be easily read by a human.

Hi Florent,
I am doing something similar but using the “Record format” described in http://cr.yp.to/cdb/cdbmake.html

I chose it because it has an extremely simple definition (only two text lines), is very easy to parse (<30 lines of Java code, exception handling included), is human readable, has little protocol overhead, it can be sanity checked.
