The Ratio dive computers support up to 10 tank pressure sensors. The ID
of the active tank sensor is stored in the sample data, and gets mapped
to the corresponding tank index.
A small typo introduced with the Tusa Talis support in commit
b188c414206daaa5b6de464ced98d78f6da7cde1 accidentally disabled the tank
pressure reporting for all models.
The Mares Genius supports a new command to download different types of
objects (e.g. dive header, dive profiles, etc) directly, without needing
to manually read and parse the contents of the flash memory.
The data structure also changed significantly. The profile data is now
organized into different records. Each record starts and ends with a 4
byte ascii marker:
DSTR: Dive start record
TISS: Tissue record
DPRS: Sample record
AIRS: Air integration record
DEND: Dive end record
and contains a CRC checksum. The contents of the records remains very
similar to the existing iconhd data format.

Split the offset calculation in two steps: first the offset to the
header data, and then the date/time field. The main advantage is that
the resulting code now follows the same logic as in the other functions.
The Mares Genius dive header is no longer located at the end of the data
(after the dive profile), but at the start. Therefore we don't need the
offset to the dive header anymore. Replace with the size of the header
instead.
The two byte commands are in fact a single byte command. The second byte
is some kind of checksum, containing the command byte xor'ed with the
value 0xA5.
The latest variant of the Mares Quad has 4 times more flash memory
compared to the original variant (1M vs 256K). Therefore this variant
supports a new command to read the size of the flash memory.
At the moment, it's unknown whether the previous variant also supports
this new command or not. Probably not, because none of the other
compatible models seems to support it either. Hence we only attempt to
read the flash memory size for the Quad, and a failure is not considered
a fatal error. The disadvantage of this approach is that a temporary
communication problem can result in a misdetection of the flash memory
size.

In the EON Steel descriptor for the temperature field, the "nillable"
value is -3000:
int16,precision=2,nillable=-3000
So the missing equals sign is just a small oversight.
The length field in the data is checked for the maximum size (e.g. the
size of the buffer), but there is no such check on the minimum size
(e.g. the size of the header). If the length is smaller, the code
accessed data before the start of the buffer.
The main difference with the serial communication is that the BLE
communication uses data packets (with a maximum size of 20 bytes)
instead of a continuous data stream.
Occasionally, the device responds with an empty packet (with just the
ACK and EOF byte) or with a short packet where one or more payload bytes
are missing. The empty packet is most likely caused because the device
didn't receive the second part of the command (with the parameters) in
time. The missing bytes might be caused by a buffer overflow on the
Bluelink Pro, when the data from the dive computer arrives faster over
the serial link than the device can forward it over the slower bluetooth
link to the host system.
One way to address this problem is to lower the packet size from 256 bytes
to only 128 bytes. The main disadvantage is that this also impacts the
download speed considerably. In one particular example, the total
download time increased from about 135 to 210 seconds (which is already
slow compared to the 62 seconds the same download takes over usb)!
An alternative solution is to simply retry the failed command. That way
there is only a performance penalty for the few bad packets, and not for
every single packet. In the above example, only two packets needed a
retransmission.
Note that the iconhd communication protocol uses no checksums. Hence
it's not possible to detect corrupt data packets. Only short packets can
be detected, because they result in a timeout.
The Suunto DX supports 3 CCR diluents and 8 OC gas mixes. Since the gas
mix index in the data is relative to either the set of CCR diluents or
OC gas mixes (depending on the dive mode) and libdivecomputer reports
both sets, the index needs to be adjusted.
There is no need to lookup the gas mix index, because the number is
stored directly in the event data, right next to the oxygen and helium
values. This actually removes an ambiguity in cases where the user has
configured two or more identical gas mixes. In that case, the lookup
would always find the first gas mix.
On certain devices, for example the Aeris Elite T3, the logbook
ringbuffer can sometimes contain an empty logbook entry in between the
valid entries. Because the presence of such an empty entry is currently
being interpreted as having reached the last valid entry, the download
is aborted. The result is that all remaining valid entries, located
after the empty entry, can't be downloaded.
This can be avoided by skipping the empty entry instead of aborting the
download.
The Ratio dive computers support synchronizing the internal clock. One
complication is that recent firmware versions (4.0.56 or 4.1.10) support
two timezones (home and abroad), while the libdivecomputer api only
supports one timezone. To deal with this, the most recent firmware
versions (4.0.58 or 4.1.12) will interprete an invalid timezone index
(0xFF) as leaving the timezone unchanged.
If the firmware doesn't support the dual timezone command, or if the
firmware doesn't have the invalid timezone index modification yet, then
a fallback to the single timezone command is provided. Note that in the
latter case the side effect is that both timezones will be changed!
The memcpy and related functions expects a valid pointer, even if the
size is zero. Most libc implementations will handle a NULL pointer just
fine, but that's not guaranteed.
Simply skip the call when there is nothing to copy.
There were quite a few models missing in the list. And because the
lowest iX3M model number has changed, the iX3M detection needed to be
updated as well.
The Ratio dive computers with the latest APOS4 firmware support a
timezone setting. Take this timezone into account instead of using the
timezone of the host system.
This will allow parsing dives from the Shearwater Teric, but depending on the
firmware could also be used on older models.
Based on ideas and code from Dirk Hohndel
The Log Upload RDBI (Read Data by Identifier) response tells us which
format the dive computer supports.
Shearwater recommends to use the 'Petrel Native Format' for all dive
computers which support it, even those pre-Teric models which (depending
on firmware) might support both PNF and the older 'Predator-Like
Format'.
They also recommend to ignore the 0x90000000 format which is very
similar to PNF but without the final record and to use the older
Predator Like Format in that case.
The 0xDD000000 format is never an option by the time you got here, but
in the old code (prior to the PNF addition) we would have fallen back to
0xC0000000, so let's do the same here.
Any other value is actually an unknown format and should be treated as
such.
Which format we use is determined by the base address used to download
the logbook entries.
