Telemetry & Telecommand Interface (TMTC I/F) for the GSSW and OBSW communication of the HERCCULES system.

The TMTC I/F is defined by:

1. A set of data types used to communicate the GSSW and OBSW.

2. A set of rules for the encoding and decoding of the data types defined in 1.

3. A set of function prototypes (the I/F) that must be implemented by the OBSW and GSSW.

The Data_Types directory contains the definition of these data types which are located in the src folder and written in the Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) description language.

The the ASN1SCC compiler is used to automatically transform these data types into (1) C type declarations and (2) a set of serialization and deserialization functions for each data type. These assets are located inside the Data_Types/build/asn1sccGenerated/c directory.

The Data_Types module is a Qt project that makes use of the N7Space ASN1 editor. The project was developed inside the TASTE Virtual Machine and it must be opened with the qtcreator IDE.
