## Protocol
SC64 exposes itself in the system as simple serial device. This allows it to work without manually installed drivers.
Serial communication is also well supported in almost all programming languages making it easy to work with.
USB protocol use simple packet based communication. Every packet starts with 3 byte identifier and 1 byte data ID.
Every argument/data is sent as big-endian value.
### Resetting communication
Due to serial communication nature, data transfer between PC and flashcart might get out of sync (for example when long data transfer is aborted before sending/receiving all bytes).
Communication reset is done via emulated `DTR`/`DSR` pins.
Start reset procedure by setting `DTR` pin value to `high (1)`.
Next, observe `DSR` pin until its state is set to `high (1)`.
At this point communication has been reset and USB interface is disabled. Now it is a good moment to clear/purge any buffers.
Finish reset procedure by setting `DTR` pin value to `low (0)` and observe `DSR` pin until its state is set to `low (0)`.
Flashcart should be ready to accept new commands.
### PC -> SC64 packets
| identifier | description |
| ---------- | ------------------------ |
| `CMD` | Send command to the SC64 |
SC64 understands only one packet identifier - `CMD`.
Fourth byte denotes command type listed in [supported commands](#supported-commands) section.
#### **`CMD`** packet
General structure of packet:
| offset | type | description |
| ------ | -------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `0` | char[3] | `CMD` identifier |
| `3` | char[1] | Command ID |
| `4` | uint32_t | First argument (arg0) |
| `8` | uint32_t | Second argument (arg1) |
| `12` | uint8_t[data_length] | Command data (if required) |
`CMD` packet always require arguments to be sent even if command does not require them.
Arbitrary data length is derived from the argument if specific command supports it.
### SC64 -> PC packets
| identifier | description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `RSP` | Success response to the sent command |
| `ERR` | Error response to the sent command |
| `PKT` | Asynchronous data packet |
SC64 sends response packet `RSP`/`ERR` to almost every command sent from the PC.
Fourth byte is the same as in the command that triggered the response.
If command execution was not successful, then `RSP` identifier is replaced by the `ERR` identifier.
SC64 can also send `PKT` packet at any time as a response to action triggered by the N64 or the flashcart itself.
Fourth byte denotes packet type listed in the [asynchronous packets](#asynchronous-packets) section.
#### **`RSP`/`ERR`** packets
General structure of packet:
| offset | type | description |
| ------ | -------------------- | ---------------------- |
| `0` | char[3] | `RSP`/`ERR` identifier |
| `3` | char[1] | Command ID |
| `4` | uint32_t | Data length |
| `8` | uint8_t[data_length] | Response data (if any) |
`RSP`/`ERR` packet is sent as a response to the command sent by the PC.
`ERR` response might contain no (or undefined) data in the arbitrary data field compared to regular `RSP` packet.
#### **`PKT`** packet
General structure of packet:
| offset | type | description |
| ------ | -------------------- | ---------------------- |
| `0` | char[3] | `PKT` identifier |
| `3` | char[1] | Asynchronous packet ID |
| `4` | uint32_t | Data length |
| `8` | uint8_t[data_length] | Packet data (if any) |
Available packet types are listed in the [asynchronous packets](#asynchronous-packets) section.
