Encode and decode 8B10B encoding
python3 -m pip install encdec8b10b
from encdec8b10b import EncDec8B10B
running_disp = 0
byte_to_enc = 0xf
running_disp, encoded = EncDec8B10B.enc_8b10b(byte_to_enc, running_disp)
print(hex(encoded))
Output >> 0xba
from encdec8b10b import EncDec8B10B
running_disp = 0
byte_to_enc = 0xbc # comma
ctrl = 1
running_disp, encoded = EncDec8B10B.enc_8b10b(byte_to_enc, running_disp, ctrl)
print(hex(encoded))
Output >> 0x17c
from encdec8b10b import EncDec8B10B
byte_to_dec = 0xba
ctrl, decoded = EncDec8B10B.dec_8b10b(byte_to_dec)
print(hex(decoded))
Output >> 0xf
# ctrl variable confirm that it was a data byte
print(ctrl)
Output >> 0
from encdec8b10b import EncDec8B10B
byte_to_dec = 0x17c # comma encoded
ctrl, decoded = EncDec8B10B.dec_8b10b(byte_to_dec)
print(hex(decoded))
Output >> 0xbc
# ctrl variable confirm that it was a control byte
print(ctrl)
Output >> 1
Both functions have a verbose-mode to make it easier to confirm everything that's happening:
from encdec8b10b import EncDec8B10B
running_disp = 0
byte_to_enc = 0xA0
running_disp, encoded = EncDec8B10B.enc_8b10b(byte_to_enc, running_disp, verbose=True)
Output >> Encoder - In: A0 - Encoded: 146 - Running Disparity: 0
ctrl, decoded = EncDec8B10B.dec_8b10b(encoded, verbose=True)
Output >> Decoded: A0 - Control: 0
8B10B Encoding were implemented by Al Widmer and Peter Franaszek in 1983. It is still widely used in high-speed electronics.
