I am currently working on an I2C communication between an i.MX6 (Android BSP) and a NTAG 5 boost component.
I would like to decode the Capability Container at block 0 of the NTAG 5 EEPROM. I have written a C function that decodes the major and minor version of CC byte 1, as described in this table.
And here is my function:
static char CH_version[4] = "0.0";
bool F_decodeVersion(NTAG_HANDLE_T ntag) {
uint8_t UI_localVersionAccessCondition;
bool B_status = false;
/* Reads byte 1 */
if (!F_readCCByte(ntag, VERSION_ACCESS_COND_BYTE, &UI_localVersionAccessCondition)) {
B_status = false;
}
/* To get the high nibble corresponding to version, we shift the value
four bits to the right */
UI_localVersionAccessCondition = UI_localVersionAccessCondition >> 4;
/* Decode */
switch(UI_localVersionAccessCondition) {
case 0x00:
memcpy(CH_version, "0.0", 4);
break;
case 0x01:
memcpy(CH_version, "0.1", 4);
break;
case 0x02:
memcpy(CH_version, "0.2", 4);
break;
case 0x03:
memcpy(CH_version, "0.3", 4);
break;
case 0x04:
memcpy(CH_version, "1.0", 4);
break;
case 0x05:
memcpy(CH_version, "1.1", 4);
break;
case 0x06:
memcpy(CH_version, "1.2", 4);
break;
case 0x07:
memcpy(CH_version, "1.3", 4);
break;
case 0x08:
memcpy(CH_version, "2.0", 4);
break;
case 0x09:
memcpy(CH_version, "2.1", 4);
break;
case 0x0A:
memcpy(CH_version, "2.2", 4);
break;
case 0x0B:
memcpy(CH_version, "2.3", 4);
break;
case 0x0C:
memcpy(CH_version, "3.0", 4);
break;
case 0x0D:
memcpy(CH_version, "3.1", 4);
break;
case 0x0E:
memcpy(CH_version, "3.2", 4);
break;
case 0x0F:
memcpy(CH_version, "3.3", 4);
break;
}
return true;
}
I'm sure that's not the best way to decode this nibble. I guess I should use the modulo operator.
How can I do it more efficiently?
You could try using just bitshifts and masking.
CH_version[0] = (UI_localVersionAccessCondition >> 6) & 0x3 + '0';
CH_version[1] = '.';
CH_version[2] = (UI_localVersionAccessCondition >> 4) & 0x3 + '0';
CH_version[3] = '\0';
Consider not using global variables and doing bool F_decodeVersion(NTAG_HANDLE_T ntag, char *CH_version);
