KONNEKTING Protocol Specification 0x01
Workflow
The following describes the workflow for programming a KONNEKTING device. The diagrams show the required actions the programming device (f.i. KONNEKTING Suite) needs to do in order to program a KONNEKTING device.
Start Programming Mode
Before the programming can start, the KONNEKTING device needs to be in "programming mode" (short: ProgMode). The following diagram describes the two possible ways to achive ProgMode.
Do Programming
After ProgMode has been achived, it's time to do the actual device programming.
The parts for "Program CommObjects" and "Program Parameters" are optional an depend on what the user want to program. So you can skip or include them, as you like.
Working with files
This is about working with files, means transfering files to the device, including firmware upgrade

Device Memory Layout
The device's memory is divided in multiple sections:
Hints:
- The AddressTable is sorted by the GroupAdress ascending by its integer value.
- The AssociationTable is sorted by the GroupAddress ID ascending by its integer value.

User Space
This is the space where user data can be stored. The KONNEKTING Device Library provides an API to query the start address for this user space in memory.
Property Pages
Property pages are blocks information with up to 12 bytes of length. Property pages are read-only and do not directly belong to the device's memory (f.i. EEPROM or Flash). The information is mostly stored in the device firmware.

As both messages access memory by memory address, one has to know at which address which table starts. To get the start addresses of all tables, see #0x01 PropertyPageRead and #0x01 Table Addresses.
