  • DECLARATIVE TRANSACTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH A PERIPHERAL DEVICE VIA A LOW-POWER BUS
    Publication number: 20210034549
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques enable a software program to communicate with a peripheral device (e.g., a sensor), via a low-level communication protocol such as the I2C protocol, even though the software program does not include lower-level code configured to implement a sequence of operations defined for the low-level communication protocol. The techniques determine that the software program includes a high-level operation that instructs for communications to be conducted with the peripheral device. The high-level operation is associated with a separately stored configuration file that includes the lower-level code configured to implement the sequence of operations enabling the communications to be conducted with the peripheral device via the low-level communication protocol.
