Run against UM12947 by bridges/mm_client_check.py, read-only, over the USB-B CDC-ACM port and over the RX55 to TCP :9034. THE WIRE BYTES ARE IDENTICAL ON BOTH PATHS -- 11,580 B in and 761 B out, to the byte, with matching identity, state and a 24-entry setup walk. The protocol does not care which physical layer it runs over, which is the thing the modem path needed to prove. Three findings, one of them a correction to my own prediction: 1. THE MODEM NEEDS FEWER READS, NOT MORE. 36 against USB's 83. The tool's banner claimed the opposite. The modem coalesces -- it buffers ~1 s then forwards one large TCP segment, where CDC-ACM delivers many small chunks. That is reassuring rather than alarming: the risk was a frame arriving split across reads, and the modem splits LESS than USB does. Banner fixed to state the measured numbers instead of a guess. 2. ~0.65 s PER ROUND TRIP over cellular, independent of payload size. A 1,024 B chunk and a 16 B state read cost the same. list_setups() takes 16.05 s over the modem against 0.46 s over USB, for 24 commands. This is the number that matters for SFM's design: over cellular, minimise round trips, not bytes. Enumerating setups costs 16 s -- cache it, never refresh it on a timer. A 13 KB event is 14 chunks ~ 8.4 s of latency against ~0.03 s of data, which makes the unconfirmed single-request 0x5A streaming mode worth its two-minute bench test on its own. 3. THERE IS A RECORD-TYPE FIELD: 0x0C content[11], 0x07 waveform, 0x08 histogram. The reference says no type field is known and that the type must be carried out of the chain walk. Found by diffing the six bench events' 0x0C records against their known types -- exactly one byte separates the groups and is constant within each -- then confirmed by predicting the right suffix for 6 of 6 on a blind re-run. Six events split 4/2 is thin evidence for a byte that could be a counter or a channel count, so it is recorded as a strong candidate, not settled, and mm_client_check keeps a fallback: it tries the other suffix on failure and says when the guess was wrong. Also flagged: the reference's claim that the type comes from SUB 0x0A's length is not visible in the download capture, where 0x0A is a standalone monitor-log walk after the last chain entry, not a per-event probe. END TO END: all six bench events assembled by read_event_file() from captured 0x5A responses decode with the existing codec -- 4 waveforms at 12,288 / 12,288 / 12,288 / 8,192 samples and 2 histograms. No new codec work needed; /db/import/idf_file ingests a directly downloaded event unchanged. Not covered: 11.0BD (still pure inference), a monitoring unit, a nearly-full buffer, and the inbound call-home session.

mm_client_check.py — exercise the Micromate read client against a real unit.
|
|
|
|
**Read-only.** It sends POLL, SERIAL, state, monitor status, the setup walk and
|
|
(optionally) one event download. It never writes, never erases, never starts or
|
|
stops monitoring.
|
|
|
|
Why it exists
|
|
-------------
|
|
`micromate/{framing,protocol,client}.py` are verified against captures taken
|
|
**over USB**, on **one firmware line** (`11.0CB`). Two things that cannot be
|
|
verified that way:
|
|
|
|
* **the modem path.** An RX55/RV55 bridges serial to TCP transparently, but
|
|
it buffers up to ~1 s before forwarding, so a single logical response can
|
|
arrive as many small reads. The client reads to frame completion rather
|
|
than using idle-gap detection, which should be strictly more robust — but
|
|
"should be" is the point of this script.
|
|
* **the other firmware line.** `11.0BD` reports `flags = 0x03`, a shorter
|
|
model string, and a `SUB 0x1C` block 4 bytes longer. Everything about that
|
|
is currently inference from one 2026-09-23 sweep whose captures never
|
|
landed in the repo.
|
|
|
|
Run it over both paths and diff the two reports. Anything that differs beyond
|
|
timings is a finding.

⚠ These modems bridge ONE TCP session to serial at a time. If THOR holds the
|
|
unit, this will connect and then see nothing — that is contention, not a fault.
|
|
`bridges/mm_probe.py` explains that case; disconnect THOR first.
