The issues and pr above document the work done implementing daisy chaining to the full bridge converter. Since this feature is planned to be used with any AMDS-type board, we want this to be added to the AMDS firmware instead. This will allow us to keep one firmware project across all boards. The daisy-chaining should work with any number of FBCs chained.
Approach
Close this issue by:
- Setting up a second UART peripheral to be used with the daisy chain port
- Use an interrupt to receive the data and store it
- Modifying the existing firmware so that the AMDC link port now sends all X FBCs worth of data, where X is the number of FBCs connected in a daisy chain configuration
