FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

8.1 High-Level Data Link Control Protocol

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the synchronous HDLC protocol supported by the

FREEDM-32P32. The incoming stream is examined for flag bytes (01111110 bit

pattern) which delineate the opening and closing of the HDLC packet. The

packet is bit de-stuffed which discards a "0" bit which directly follows five

contiguous "1" bits. The resulting HDLC packet size must be a multiple of an

octet (8 bits) and within the expected minimum and maximum packet length

limits. The minimum packet length is that of a packet containing two information

bytes (address and control) and FCS bytes. For packets with CRC-CCITT as

FCS, the minimum packet length is four bytes while those with CRC-32 as FCS,

the minimum length is six bytes. An HDLC packet is aborted when seven

contiguous "1" bits (with no inserted "0" bits) are received. At least one flag byte

must exist between HDLC packets for delineation. Contiguous flag bytes, or all

ones bytes between packets are used as an "inter-frame time fill". Adjacent flag

bytes may share zeros.

The CRC algorithm for the frame checking sequence (FCS) field is either a

CRC-CCITT or CRC-32 function. Figure 2 shows a CRC encoder block diagram

using the generating polynomial g(X) = 1 + g1X + g2X2 +…+ gn-1Xn-1 + Xn. The

CRC-CCITT FCS is two bytes in size and has a generating polynomial g(X) = 1 +

X5 + X12 + X16. The CRC-32 FCS is four bytes in size and has a generating

polynomial g(X) = 1 + X + X2 + X4 + X5 + X7 + X8 + X10 + X11 + X12 + X16 + X22

+ X23 + X26 + X32. The first FCS bit received is the residue of the highest term.
