Download Command 0x17 - Tech: Each position defines the Uart assignment

['Neal Singh]

Each of the Serial Ports would need a Code to define the Device that is connected to it. There will be more devices that might be added in the future like a Camera Overlay output or a Camera License Plate Recognition and there will be codes chosen to define these too.

The uC will use these codes to assign the different devices it talks to.

Field Name		Description			Example [#of Bytes]
Uart1		GRPS Mode			G
Uart2		MID connection (FMS/Pumps/Tags/ NRT on uart3)			M
Uart3		UHF Tagging			U
Uart4		GPS			S
Uart5		Printer			Q
Uart6		ATG			A
					NB: X – Uart not is USED

This command is implemented with the folowing functions:
void Load_UART_Assign(char Type, uint8_t Position)
char Read_UART_Assign(uint8_t Position)
And definitions in globals.h
