.# Abstract
This document specifies the basis of the Spinel protocol, which facilitates the control and management of IPv6 network interfaces on devices where general purpose application processors offload network functions at their interfaces to network co-processors (NCP) connected by simple communication links like serial data channels. Spinel was initially designed for use with Thread network co-processors, but its basis is general purpose and intended to be easily adapted to other types of IPv6 network interface.

# Introduction #
Spinel is a host-controller protocol designed to enable interoperation over simple serial connections between general purpose device operating systems (OS) and network co-processors (NCP) for the purpose of controlling and managing their IPv6 network interfaces, achieving the following goals:
* Adopt a layered approach to the protocol design, allowing future support for other types of IPv6 link.
* Minimize the number of required commands/methods by supporting a rich, property-based programming interface.
* Support NCPs capable of multiple simultaneous IPv6 interfaces.
* Support NCPs capable of communicating simultaneously on more than one physical link.
* Gracefully handle the addition of new features and capabilities without necessarily breaking backward compatibility.
* Be as minimal and light-weight as possible without unnecessarily sacrificing flexibility.
On top of this core framework, properties and commands enable various common features of IPv6. In related and forthcoming documents, the Spinel protocol is extended to support NCP implementations for specific IPv6 link types, e.g. Thread.

.# Abstract
This document describes the Spinel protocol, which facilitates the control and
management of IPv6 network interfaces on devices where general purpose
application processors offload network functions at their interfaces to network
co-processors (NCP) connected by simple communication links like serial data
channels. While initially developed to support Thread(R), Spinel's layered
design allows it to be easily adapted to other similar network technologies.
This document also describes various Spinel specializations, including support
for the Thread(R) low-power mesh network technology.

# Introduction #
Spinel is a host-controller protocol designed to enable interoperation over simple serial connections between general purpose device operating systems (OS) and network co-processors (NCP) for the purpose of controlling and managing their IPv6 network interfaces, achieving the following goals:
* Adopt a layered approach to the protocol design, allowing future
support for other network protocols.
* Minimize the number of required commands/methods by providing a
rich, property-based API.
* Support NCPs capable of being connected to more than one network
at a time.
* Gracefully handle the addition of new features and capabilities
without necessarily breaking backward compatibility.
* Be as minimal and light-weight as possible without unnecessarily
sacrificing flexibility.
On top of this core framework, we define the properties and commands
to enable various features and network protocols.
## About this Draft ##
This document is currently in a draft status and is changing often.
This section discusses some ideas for changes to the protocol that
haven't yet been fully specified, as well as some of the impetus for
the current design.
### Scope ###
The eventual intent is to have two documents: A Spinel basis document
which discusses the network-technology-agnostic mechanisms and a
Thread(R) specialization document which describes all of the Thread(R)-specific
implementation details. Currently, this document covers both.
### Renumbering ###
Efforts are currently maintained to try to prevent overtly
backward-incompatible changes to the existing protocol, but if you are
implementing Spinel in your own products you should expect there to be
at least one large renumbering event and major version number change
before the standard is considered "baked". All changes will be clearly
marked and documented to make such a transition as easy as possible.
To allow conclusive detection of protocol (in)compatibility between
the host and the NCP, the following commands and properties are
already considered to be "baked" and will not change:
* Command IDs zero through eight. (Reset, No-op, and Property-Value
Commands)
* Property IDs zero through two. (Last status, Protocol Version, and
NCP Version)
Renumbering would be undertaken in order to better organize the
allocation of property IDs and capability IDs. One of the initial
goals of this protocol was for it to be possible for a host or NCP to
only implement properties with values less than 127 and for the NCP to
still be usable---relegating all larger property values for extra
features or other capabilities that aren't strictly necessary. This
would allow simple implementations to avoid the need to implement
support for PUIs ((#packed-unsigned-integer)).
As time has gone by and the protocol has become more fleshed out, it
has become clear that some of the initial allocations were inadequate
and should be revisited if we want to try to achieve the original
goal.

# Commands
## CMD 0: (Host->NCP) CMD_NOOP {#cmd-noop}
Octets: | 1 | 1
--------|--------|----------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_NOOP
No-Operation command. Induces the NCP to send a success status back to
the host. This is primarily used for liveliness checks.
The command payload for this command SHOULD be empty. The receiver
MUST ignore any non-empty command payload.
There is no error condition for this command.
## CMD 1: (Host->NCP) CMD_RESET {#cmd-reset}
Octets: | 1 | 1
--------|--------|----------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_RESET
Reset NCP command. Causes the NCP to perform a software reset. Due to
the nature of this command, the TID is ignored. The host should
instead wait for a `CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` command from the NCP indicating
`PROP_LAST_STATUS` has been set to `STATUS_RESET_SOFTWARE`.
The command payload for this command SHOULD be empty. The receiver
MUST ignore any non-empty command payload.
If an error occurs, the value of `PROP_LAST_STATUS` will be emitted
instead with the value set to the generated status code for the error.
## CMD 2: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_GET {#cmd-prop-value-get}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3
--------|--------|--------------------|---------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_GET | PROP_ID
Get property value command. Causes the NCP to emit a
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` command for the given property identifier.
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer).
If an error occurs, the value of `PROP_LAST_STATUS` will be emitted
instead with the value set to the generated status code for the error.
## CMD 3: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET {#cmd-prop-value-set}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|--------------------|---------|------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET | PROP_ID | VALUE
Set property value command. Instructs the NCP to set the given
property to the specific given value, replacing any previous value.
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer), followed by
the property value. The exact format of the property value is defined
by the property.
If an error occurs, the value of `PROP_LAST_STATUS` will be emitted
with the value set to the generated status code for the error.
## CMD 4: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT {#cmd-prop-value-insert}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|-----------------------|---------|------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT | PROP_ID | VALUE
Insert value into property command. Instructs the NCP to insert the
given value into a list-oriented property, without removing other
items in the list. The resulting order of items in the list is defined
by the individual property being operated on.
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer), followed by
the value to be inserted. The exact format of the value is defined by
the property.
If the type signature of the property specified by `PROP_ID` consists
of a single structure enclosed by an array (`A(t(...))`), then the
contents of `VALUE` MUST contain the contents of the structure (`...`)
rather than the serialization of the whole item (`t(...)`). Specifically,
the length of the structure MUST NOT be prepended to `VALUE`. This
helps to eliminate redundant data.
If an error occurs, the value of `PROP_LAST_STATUS` will be emitted
with the value set to the generated status code for the error.
## CMD 5: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_REMOVE {#cmd-prop-value-remove}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|-----------------------|---------|------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_REMOVE | PROP_ID | VALUE
Remove value from property command. Instructs the NCP to remove the
given value from a list-oriented property, without affecting other
items in the list. The resulting order of items in the list is defined
by the individual property being operated on.
Note that this command operates *by value*, not by index!
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer), followed by
the value to be removed. The exact format of the value is defined by
the property.
If the type signature of the property specified by `PROP_ID` consists
of a single structure enclosed by an array (`A(t(...))`), then the
contents of `VALUE` MUST contain the contents of the structure (`...`)
rather than the serialization of the whole item (`t(...)`). Specifically,
the length of the structure MUST NOT be prepended to `VALUE`. This
helps to eliminate redundant data.
If an error occurs, the value of `PROP_LAST_STATUS` will be emitted
with the value set to the generated status code for the error.

Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|-------------------|---------|------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS | PROP_ID | VALUE
Property value notification command. This command can be sent by the
NCP in response to a previous command from the host, or it can be sent
by the NCP in an unsolicited fashion to notify the host of various
state changes asynchronously.
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer), followed by
the current value of the given property.
## CMD 7: (NCP->Host) CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERTED {#cmd-prop-value-inserted}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|-------------------------|---------|------------

Property value insertion notification command. This command can be
sent by the NCP in response to the `CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT` command, or
it can be sent by the NCP in an unsolicited fashion to notify the host
of various state changes asynchronously.
The payload for this command is the property identifier encoded in the
packed unsigned integer format described in (#packed-unsigned-integer), followed by
the value that was inserted into the given property.
If the type signature of the property specified by `PROP_ID` consists
of a single structure enclosed by an array (`A(t(...))`), then the

The resulting order of items in the list is defined by the given
property.
## CMD 18: (Host->NCP) CMD_PEEK {#cmd-peek}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2
--------|--------|----------|---------|-------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PEEK | ADDRESS | COUNT
This command allows the NCP to fetch values from the RAM of the NCP
for debugging purposes. Upon success, `CMD_PEEK_RET` is sent from the
NCP to the host. Upon failure, `PROP_LAST_STATUS` is emitted with
the appropriate error indication.
Due to the low-level nature of this command, certain error conditions
may induce the NCP to reset.
The NCP MAY prevent certain regions of memory from being accessed.
The implementation of this command has security implications.
See (#security-considerations) for more information.
This command requires the capability `CAP_PEEK_POKE` to be present.
## CMD 19: (NCP->Host) CMD_PEEK_RET {#cmd-peek-ret}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 | *n*
--------|--------|--------------|---------|-------|-------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PEEK_RET | ADDRESS | COUNT | BYTES
This command contains the contents of memory that was requested by
a previous call to `CMD_PEEK`.
This command requires the capability `CAP_PEEK_POKE` to be present.
## CMD 20: (Host->NCP) CMD_POKE {#cmd-poke}
Octets: | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 | *n*
--------|--------|----------|---------|-------|-------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_POKE | ADDRESS | COUNT | BYTES
This command writes the bytes to the specified memory address
for debugging purposes.
Due to the low-level nature of this command, certain error conditions
may induce the NCP to reset.
The implementation of this command has security implications.
See (#security-considerations) for more information.
This command requires the capability `CAP_PEEK_POKE` to be present.
## CMD 21: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_GET {#cmd-prop-value-multi-get}
* Argument-Encoding: `A(i)`
* Required Capability: `CAP_CMD_MULTI`
Fetch the value of multiple properties in one command. Arguments are
an array of property IDs. If all properties are fetched successfully,
a `CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE` command is sent back to the host containing
the propertyid and value of each fetched property. The order of the
results in `CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE` match the order of properties given
in `CMD_PROP_VALUE_GET`.
Errors fetching individual properties are reflected as indicating a
change to `PROP_LAST_STATUS` for that property's place.
Not all properties can be fetched using this method. As a general rule
of thumb, any property that blocks when getting will fail for that
individual property with `STATUS_INVALID_COMMAND_FOR_PROP`.
## CMD 22: (Host->NCP) CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_SET {#cmd-prop-value-multi-set}
* Argument-Encoding: `A(iD)`
* Required Capability: `CAP_CMD_MULTI`
Octets: | 1 | 1 | *n*
--------|--------|--------------------------|----------------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_SET | Property/Value Pairs
With each property/value pair being:
Octets: | 2 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|---------|------------
Fields: | LENGTH | PROP_ID | PROP_VALUE
This command sets the value of several properties at once in the given
order. The setting of properties stops at the first error, ignoring
any later properties.
The result of this command is generally `CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE` unless
(for example) a parsing error has occured (in which case
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` for `PROP_LAST_STATUS` would be the result). The
order of the results in `CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE` match the order of
properties given in `CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_SET`.
Since the processing of properties to set stops at the first error,
the resulting `CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE` can contain fewer items than the
requested number of properties to set.
Not all properties can be set using this method. As a general rule
of thumb, any property that blocks when setting will fail for that
individual property with `STATUS_INVALID_COMMAND_FOR_PROP`.
## CMD 23: (NCP->Host) CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE {#cmd-prop-values-are}
* Argument-Encoding: `A(iD)`
* Required Capability: `CAP_CMD_MULTI`
Octets: | 1 | 1 | *n*
--------|--------|---------------------|----------------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD_PROP_VALUES_ARE | Property/Value Pairs
With each property/value pair being:
Octets: | 2 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|---------|------------
Fields: | LENGTH | PROP_ID | PROP_VALUE
This command is emitted by the NCP as the response to both the
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_GET` and `CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_SET` commands. It
is roughly analogous to `CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS`, except that it contains
more than one property.
This command SHOULD NOT be emitted asynchronously, or in response to
any command other than `CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_GET` or
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_MULTI_SET`.
The arguments are a list of structures containing the emitted property
and the associated value. These are presented in the same order as
given in the associated initiating command. In cases where getting or
setting a specific property resulted in an error, the associated slot
in this command will describe `PROP_LAST_STATUS`.

# Data Packing
Data serialization for properties is performed using a light-weight
data packing format which was loosely inspired by D-Bus. The format of
a serialization is defined by a specially formatted string.
This packing format is used for notational convenience. While this
string-based datatype format has been designed so that the strings may
be directly used by a structured data parser, such a thing is not
required to implement Spinel. Indeed, higly constrained applications
may find such a thing to be too heavyweight.
Goals:
* Be lightweight and favor direct representation of values.
* Use an easily readable and memorable format string.
* Support lists and structures.
* Allow properties to be appended to structures while maintaining
backward compatibility.
Each primitive datatype has an ASCII character associated with it.
Structures can be represented as strings of these characters. For
example:
* `C`: A single unsigned byte.
* `C6U`: A single unsigned byte, followed by a 128-bit IPv6
address, followed by a zero-terminated UTF8 string.
* `A(6)`: An array of concatenated IPv6 addresses
In each case, the data is represented exactly as described. For
example, an array of 10 IPv6 address is stored as 160 bytes.

All multi-byte values are little-endian unless explicitly stated
otherwise.
## Packed Unsigned Integer
For certain types of integers, such command or property identifiers,
usually have a value on the wire that is less than 127. However, in
order to not preclude the use of values larger than 255, we would need
to add an extra byte. Doing this would add an extra byte to the
majority of instances, which can add up in terms of bandwidth.
The packed unsigned integer format is based on the [unsigned integer
format in EXI][EXI], except that we limit the maximum value to the
largest value that can be encoded into three bytes(2,097,151).
[EXI]: https://www.w3.org/TR/exi/#encodingUnsignedInteger
For all values less than 127, the packed form of the number is simply
a single byte which directly represents the number. For values larger
than 127, the following process is used to encode the value:
1. The unsigned integer is broken up into *n* 7-bit chunks and placed
into *n* octets, leaving the most significant bit of each octet
unused.
2. Order the octets from least-significant to most-significant.
(Little-endian)
3. Clear the most significant bit of the most significant octet. Set
the least significant bit on all other octets.
Where *n* is the smallest number of 7-bit chunks you can use to
represent the given value.
Take the value 1337, for example:
1337 => 0x0539
=> [39 0A]
=> [B9 0A]
To decode the value, you collect the 7-bit chunks until you find an
octet with the most significant bit clear.
## Data Blobs
There are two types for data blobs: `d` and `D`.
* `d` has the length of the data (in bytes) prepended to the data
(with the length encoded as type `S`). The size of the length
field is not included in the length.
* `D` does not have a prepended length: the length of the data is
implied by the bytes remaining to be parsed. It is an error for
`D` to not be the last type in a type in a type signature.
This dichotomy allows for more efficient encoding by eliminating
redundency. If the rest of the buffer is a data blob, encoding the
length would be redundant because we already know how many bytes are
in the rest of the buffer.
In some cases we use `d` even if it is the last field in a type signature.
We do this to allow for us to be able to append additional fields
to the type signature if necessary in the future. This is usually the
case with embedded structs, like in the scan results.
For example, let's say we have a buffer that is encoded with the
datatype signature of `CLLD`. In this case, it is pretty easy to tell
where the start and end of the data blob is: the start is 9 bytes from
the start of the buffer, and its length is the length of the buffer
minus 9. (9 is the number of bytes taken up by a byte and two longs)
The datatype signature `CLLDU` is illegal because we can't determine
where the last field (a zero-terminated UTF8 string) starts. But the
datatype `CLLdU` *is* legal, because the parser can determine the
exact length of the data blob-- allowing it to know where the start
of the next field would be.
## Structured Data
The structure data type (`t(...)`) is a way of bundling together
several fields into a single structure. It can be thought of as a
`d` type except that instead of being opaque, the fields in the
content are known. This is useful for things like scan results where
you have substructures which are defined by different layers.
For example, consider the type signature `Lt(ES)t(6C)`. In this
hypothetical case, the first struct is defined by the MAC layer, and
the second struct is defined by the PHY layer. Because of the use of
structures, we know exactly what part comes from that layer.
Additionally, we can add fields to each structure without introducing
backward compatability problems: Data encoded as `Lt(ESU)t(6C)` (Notice
the extra `U`) will
decode just fine as `Lt(ES)t(6C)`. Additionally, if we don't care
about the MAC layer and only care about the network layer, we could
parse as `Lt()t(6C)`.
Note that data encoded as `Lt(ES)t(6C)` will also parse as `Ldd`,
with the structures from both layers now being opaque data blobs.
## Arrays
An array is simply a concatenated set of *n* data encodings. For example,
the type `A(6)` is simply a list of IPv6 addresses---one after the other.
The type `A(6E)` likewise a concatenation of IPv6-address/EUI-64 pairs.
If an array contains many fields, the fields will often be surrounded
by a structure (`t(...)`). This effectively prepends each item in the
array with its length. This is useful for improving parsing performance
or to allow additional fields to be added in the future in a backward
compatible way. If there is a high certainty that additional
fields will never be added, the struct may be omitted (saving two bytes
per item).
This specification does not define a way to embed an array as a field
alongside other fields.

# Feature: GPIO Access {#feature-gpio-access}
This feature allows the host to have control over some or all of the
GPIO pins on the NCP. The host can determine which GPIOs are available
by examining `PROP_GPIO_CONFIG`, described below. This API supports a
maximum of 256 individual GPIO pins.
Support for this feature can be determined by the presence of `CAP_GPIO`.
## Properties ##
### PROP 4096: PROP\_GPIO\_CONFIG ###
* Argument-Encoding: `A(t(CCU))`
* Type: Read-write (Writable only using `CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT`,
(#cmd-prop-value-insert))
An array of structures which contain the following fields:
* `C`: GPIO Number
* `C`: GPIO Configuration Flags
* `U`: Human-readable GPIO name
GPIOs which do not have a corresponding entry are not supported.
The configuration parameter contains the configuration flags for the
GPIO:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|DIR|PUP|PDN|TRIGGER| RESERVED |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|O/D|
+---+
* `DIR`: Pin direction. Clear (0) for input, set (1) for output.
* `PUP`: Pull-up enabled flag.
* `PDN`/`O/D`: Flag meaning depends on pin direction:
* Input: Pull-down enabled.
* Output: Output is an open-drain.
* `TRIGGER`: Enumeration describing how pin changes generate
asynchronous notification commands (TBD) from the NCP to the host.
* 0: Feature disabled for this pin
* 1: Trigger on falling edge
* 2: Trigger on rising edge
* 3: Trigger on level change
* `RESERVED`: Bits reserved for future use. Always cleared to zero
and ignored when read.
As an optional feature, the configuration of individual pins may be
modified using the `CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT` command. Only the GPIO
number and flags fields MUST be present, the GPIO name (if present)
would be ignored. This command can only be used to modify the
configuration of GPIOs which are already exposed---it cannot be used
by the host to add addional GPIOs.
### PROP 4098: PROP\_GPIO\_STATE ###
* Type: Read-Write
Contains a bit field identifying the state of the GPIOs. The length of
the data associated with these properties depends on the number of
GPIOs. If you have 10 GPIOs, you'd have two bytes. GPIOs are numbered
from most significant bit to least significant bit, so 0x80 is GPIO 0,
0x40 is GPIO 1, etc.
For GPIOs configured as inputs:
* `CMD_PROP_VAUE_GET`: The value of the associated bit describes the
logic level read from the pin.
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET`: The value of the associated bit is ignored
for these pins.
For GPIOs configured as outputs:
* `CMD_PROP_VAUE_GET`: The value of the associated bit is
implementation specific.
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET`: The value of the associated bit determines
the new logic level of the output. If this pin is configured as an
open-drain, setting the associated bit to 1 will cause the pin to
enter a Hi-Z state.
For GPIOs which are not specified in `PROP_GPIO_CONFIG`:
* `CMD_PROP_VAUE_GET`: The value of the associated bit is
implementation specific.
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET`: The value of the associated bit MUST be
ignored by the NCP.
When writing, unspecified bits are assumed to be zero.
### PROP 4099: PROP\_GPIO\_STATE\_SET ###
* Type: Write-only
Allows for the state of various output GPIOs to be set without
affecting other GPIO states. Contains a bit field identifying the
output GPIOs that should have their state set to 1.
When writing, unspecified bits are assumed to be zero. The value of
any bits for GPIOs which are not specified in `PROP_GPIO_CONFIG` MUST
be ignored.
### PROP 4100: PROP\_GPIO\_STATE\_CLEAR ###

Allows for the state of various output GPIOs to be cleared without
affecting other GPIO states. Contains a bit field identifying the

# Feature: True Random Number Generation {#feature-trng}
This feature allows the host to have access to any strong hardware
random number generator that might be present on the NCP, for things
like key generation or seeding PRNGs.
Support for this feature can be determined by the presence of `CAP_TRNG`.
Note well that implementing a cryptographically-strong software-based true
random number generator (that is impervious to things like temperature
changes, manufacturing differences across devices, or unexpected output
correlations) is non-trivial without a well-designed, dedicated hardware
random number generator. Implementors who have little or no experience in
this area are encouraged to not advertise this capability.
## Properties ##
### PROP 4101: PROP_TRNG_32 ###
* Argument-Encoding: `L`
* Type: Read-Only
Fetching this property returns a strong random 32-bit integer that is suitable
for use as a PRNG seed or for cryptographic use.
While the exact mechanism behind the calculation of this value is
implementation-specific, the implementation must satisfy the following
requirements:
* Data representing at least 32 bits of fresh entropy (extracted from the
primary entropy source) MUST be consumed by the calculation of each query.
* Each of the 32 bits returned MUST be free of bias and have no statistical
correlation to any part of the raw data used for the calculation of any
query.
Support for this property is REQUIRED if `CAP_TRNG` is included in the
device capabilities.
### PROP 4102: PROP_TRNG_128 ###
* Argument-Encoding: `D`
* Type: Read-Only
Fetching this property returns 16 bytes of strong random data suitable for
direct cryptographic use without further processing(For example, as an
AES key).
While the exact mechanism behind the calculation of this value is
implementation-specific, the implementation must satisfy the following
requirements:
* Data representing at least 128 bits of fresh entropy (extracted from the
primary entropy source) MUST be consumed by the calculation of each query.
* Each of the 128 bits returned MUST be free of bias and have no statistical
correlation to any part of the raw data used for the calculation of any
query.
Support for this property is REQUIRED if `CAP_TRNG` is included in the
device capabilities.
### PROP 4103: PROP_TRNG_RAW_32 ###
* Argument-Encoding: `D`
* Type: Read-Only
This property is primarily used to diagnose and debug the behavior
of the entropy source used for strong random number generation.
When queried, returns the raw output from the entropy source used to
generate `PROP_TRNG_32`, prior to any reduction/whitening and/or mixing
with prior state.
The length of the returned buffer is implementation specific and should be
expected to be non-deterministic.
Support for this property is RECOMMENDED if `CAP_TRNG` is included in the
device capabilities.

# Frame Format ##
A frame is defined simply as the concatenation of
* A header byte
* A command (up to three bytes, see (#packed-unsigned-integer) for format)
* An optional command payload
Octets: | 1 | 1-3 | *n*
--------|--------|-----|-------------
Fields: | HEADER | CMD | CMD_PAYLOAD
## Header Format ###
The header byte is broken down as follows:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| FLG | NLI | TID |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
<!-- RQ -- Eventually, when https://github.com/miekg/mmark/issues/95
is addressed, the above table should be swapped out with this:
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FLG || NLI || TID ||||
-->
### FLG: Flag
The flag field of the header byte (`FLG`) is always set to the value
two (or `10` in binary). Any frame received with these bits set to
any other value else MUST NOT be considered a Spinel frame.
This convention allows Spinel to be line compatible with BTLE HCI. By
defining the first two bit in this way we can disambiguate between
Spinel frames and HCI frames (which always start with either `0x01`
or `0x04`) without any additional framing overhead.
### NLI: Network Link Identifier
The Network Link Identifier (NLI) is a number between 0 and 3, which is associated by the OS with one of up to four IPv6 zone indices corresponding to conceptual IPv6 interfaces on the NCP. This allows the protocol to support IPv6 nodes connecting simultaneously to more than one IPv6 network link using a single NCP instance. The first Network Link Identifier (0) MUST refer to a distinguished conceptual interface provided by the NCP for its IPv6 link type. The other three Network Link Identifiers (1, 2 and 3) MAY be dissociated from any conceptual interface.
### TID: Transaction Identifier
The least significant bits of the header represent the Transaction
Identifier(TID). The TID is used for correlating responses to the
commands which generated them.
When a command is sent from the host, any reply to that command sent
by the NCP will use the same value for the TID. When the host receives
a frame that matches the TID of the command it sent, it can easily
recognize that frame as the actual response to that command.
The TID value of zero (0) is used for commands to which a correlated
response is not expected or needed, such as for unsolicited update
commands sent to the host from the NCP.
### Command Identifier (CMD) ####
The command identifier is a 21-bit unsigned integer encoded in up to
three bytes using the packed unsigned integer format described in
(#packed-unsigned-integer). This encoding allows for up to 2,097,152 individual
commands, with the first 127 commands represented as a single byte.
Command identifiers larger than 2,097,151 are explicitly forbidden.
CID Range | Description
----------------------|------------------
0 - 63 | Reserved for core commands
64 - 15,359 | *UNALLOCATED*
15,360 - 16,383 | Vendor-specific
16,384 - 1,999,999 | *UNALLOCATED*
2,000,000 - 2,097,151 | Experimental use only
### Command Payload (Optional) ####
Depending on the semantics of the command in question, a payload MAY
be included in the frame. The exact composition and length of the
payload is defined by the command identifier.

# Framing Protocol
Since this NCP protocol is defined independently of the physical
transport or framing, any number of transports and framing protocols
could be used successfully. However, in the interests of compatibility,
this document provides some recommendations.
## UART Recommendations ###
The recommended default UART settings are:
* Bit rate: 115200
* Start bits: 1
* Data bits: 8
* Stop bits: 1
* Parity: None
* Flow Control: Hardware
These values may be adjusted depending on the individual needs of
the application or product, but some sort of flow control **MUST** be used.
Hardware flow control is preferred over software flow control. In the
absence of hardware flow control, software flow control (XON/XOFF) **MUST**
be used instead.
We also **RECOMMEND** an Arduino-style hardware reset, where the DTR
signal is coupled to the `R̅E̅S̅` pin through a 0.01µF capacitor. This
causes the NCP to automatically reset whenever the serial port is
opened. At the very least we **RECOMMEND** dedicating one of your host
pins to controlling the `R̅E̅S̅` pin on the NCP, so that you can
easily perform a hardware reset if necessary.
### UART Bit Rate Detection ###
When using a UART, the issue of an appropriate bit rate must be
considered. A bitrate of 115200 bits per second has become a defacto
standard baud rate for many serial peripherals. This rate, however,
is slower than the theoretical maximum bitrate of the 802.15.4 2.4GHz
PHY (250kbit). In most circumstances this mismatch is not significant
because the overall bitrate will be much lower than either of these
rates, but there are circumstances where a faster UART bitrate is
desirable. Thus, this document proposes a simple bitrate detection
scheme that can be employed by the host to detect when the attached
NCP is initially running at a higher bitrate.
The algorithm is to send successive NOOP commands to the NCP at increasing
bitrates. When a valid `CMD_LAST_STATUS` response has been received, we
have identified the correct bitrate.
In order to limit the time spent hunting for the appropriate bitrate,
we RECOMMEND that only the following bitrates be checked:
* 115200
* 230400
* 1000000 (1Mbit)
The bitrate MAY also be changed programmatically by adjusting
`PROP_UART_BITRATE`, if implemented.
### HDLC-Lite {#hdlc-lite}
*HDLC-Lite* is the recommended framing protocol for transmitting
Spinel frames over a UART. HDLC-Lite consists of only the framing,
escaping, and CRC parts of the larger HDLC protocol---all other parts
of HDLC are omitted. This protocol was chosen because it works well
with software flow control and is widely implemented.
To transmit a frame with HDLC-lite, the 16-bit CRC must first be
appended to the frame. The CRC function is defined to be CRC-16/CCITT,
otherwise known as the [KERMIT CRC][].
[KERMIT CRC]: http://reveng.sourceforge.net/crc-catalogue/16.htm#crc.cat.kermit
Individual frames are terminated with a frame delimiter octet called
the 'flag' octet (`0x7E`).
The following octets values are considered *special* and should be
escaped when present in data frames:
Octet Value | Description
------------|-----------------------
0x7E | Frame Delimiter (Flag)
0x7D | Escape Byte
0x11 | XON
0x13 | XOFF
0xF8 | Vendor-Specific
When present in a data frame, these octet values are escaped by
prepending the escape octet (`0x7D`) and XORing the value with `0x20`.
When receiving a frame, the CRC must be verified after the frame is
unescaped. If the CRC value does not match what is calculated for the
frame data, the frame MUST be discarded. The implementation MAY
indicate the failure to higher levels to handle as they see fit, but
MUST NOT attempt to process the deceived frame.
Consecutive flag octets are entirely legal and MUST NOT be treated as
a framing error. Consecutive flag octets MAY be used as a way to wake
up a sleeping NCP.
When first establishing a connection to the NCP, it is customary to
send one or more flag octets to ensure that any previously received
data is discarded.
## SPI Recommendations ###
We RECOMMEND the use of the following standard SPI signals:
* `C̅S̅`: (Host-to-NCP) Chip Select
* `CLK`: (Host-to-NCP) Clock
* `MOSI`: Master-Output/Slave-Input
* `MISO`: Master-Input/Slave-Output
* `I̅N̅T̅`: (NCP-to-Host) Host Interrupt
* `R̅E̅S̅`: (Host-to-NCP) NCP Hardware Reset
The `I̅N̅T̅` signal is used by the NCP to indicate to the host that
the NCP has frames pending to send to it. When asserted, the host
SHOULD initiate a SPI transaction in a timely manner.
We RECOMMEND the following SPI properties:
* `C̅S̅` is active low.
* `CLK` is active high.
* `CLK` speed is larger than 500 kHz.
* Data is valid on leading edge of `CLK`.
* Data is sent in multiples of 8-bits (octets).
* Octets are sent most-significant bit first.
This recommended configuration may be adjusted depending on the
individual needs of the application or product.
### SPI Framing Protocol ####
Each SPI frame starts with a 5-byte frame header:
Octets: | 1 | 2 | 2
--------|-----|----------|----------
Fields: | HDR | RECV_LEN | DATA_LEN
* `HDR`: The first byte is the header byte (defined below)
* `RECV_LEN`: The second and third bytes indicate the largest frame
size that that device is ready to receive. If zero, then the other
device must not send any data. (Little endian)
* `DATA_LEN`: The fourth and fifth bytes indicate the size of the
pending data frame to be sent to the other device. If this value
is equal-to or less-than the number of bytes that the other device
is willing to receive, then the data of the frame is immediately
after the header. (Little Endian)
The `HDR` byte is defined as:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|RST|CRC|CCF| RESERVED |PATTERN|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
* `RST`: This bit is set when that device has been reset since the
last time `C̅S̅` was asserted.
* `CRC`: This bit is set when that device supports writing a 16-bit
CRC at the end of the data. The CRC length is NOT included in DATA_LEN.
* `CCF`: "CRC Check Failure". Set if the CRC check on the last received
frame failed, cleared to zero otherwise. This bit is only used if both
sides support CRC.
* `RESERVED`: These bits are all reserved for future used. They
MUST be cleared to zero and MUST be ignored if set.
* `PATTERN`: These bits are set to a fixed value to help distinguish
valid SPI frames from garbage (by explicitly making `0xFF` and `0x00`
invalid values). Bit 6 MUST be set to be one and bit 7 MUST be
cleared (0). A frame received that has any other values for these bits
MUST be dropped.
Prior to a sending or receiving a frame, the master MAY send a
5-octet frame with zeros for both the max receive frame size and the
the contained frame length. This will induce the slave device to
indicate the length of the frame it wants to send (if any) and
indicate the largest frame it is capable of receiving at the moment.
This allows the master to calculate the size of the next transaction.
Alternatively, if the master has a frame to send it can just go ahead
and send a frame of that length and determine if the frame was accepted
by checking that the `RECV_LEN` from the slave frame is larger than
the frame the master just tried to send. If the `RECV_LEN` is smaller
then the frame wasn't accepted and will need to be transmitted again.
This protocol can be used either unidirectionally or bidirectionally,
determined by the behavior of the master and the slave.
If the the master notices `PATTERN` is not set correctly, the master
should consider the transaction to have failed and try again after 10
milliseconds, retrying up to 200 times. After unsuccessfully trying
200 times in a row, the master MAY take appropriate remedial action
(like a NCP hardware reset, or indicating a communication failure to a
user interface).
At the end of the data of a frame is an optional 16-bit CRC, support for
which is indicated by the `CRC` bit of the `HDR` byte being set. If these
bits are set for both the master and slave frames, then CRC checking is
enabled on both sides, effectively requiring that frame sizes be two bytes
longer than would be otherwise required. The CRC is calculated using the
same mechanism used for the CRC calculation in HDLC-Lite (See (#hdlc-lite)).
When both of the `CRC` bits are set, both sides must verify that the `CRC`
is valid before accepting the frame. If not enough bytes were clocked out
for the CRC to be read, then the frame must be ignored. If enough bytes
were clocked out to perform a CRC check, but the CRC check fails, then
the frame must be rejected and the `CRC_FAIL` bit on the next frame (and
ONLY the next frame) MUST be set.

Describes the current power state of the NCP. By writing to this
property you can manage the lower state of the NCP. Enumeration is
encoded as a single unsigned byte.
Defined values are:
* 0: `POWER_STATE_OFFLINE`: NCP is physically powered off.
(Enumerated for completeness sake, not expected on the wire)
* 1: `POWER_STATE_DEEP_SLEEP`: Almost everything on the NCP is shut
down, but can still be resumed via a command or interrupt.
* 2: `POWER_STATE_STANDBY`: NCP is in the lowest power state that
can still be awoken by an event from the radio (e.g. waiting for
alarm)
* 3: `POWER_STATE_LOW_POWER`: NCP is responsive (and possibly
connected), but using less power. (e.g. "Sleepy" child node)
* 4: `POWER_STATE_ONLINE`: NCP is fully powered. (e.g. "Parent"
node)
<!-- RQ
-- We should consider reversing the numbering here so that 0 is
`POWER_STATE_ONLINE`. We may also want to include some extra

### PROP 8: PROP_HWADDR {#prop-hwaddr}
* Type: Read-Only\*
* Packed-Encoding: `E`
Octets: | 8
--------|------------
Fields: | HWADDR
The static EUI64 address of the device, used as a serial number.
This value is read-only, but may be writable under certain
vendor-defined circumstances.
### PROP 9: PROP_LOCK {#prop-lock}
* Type: Read-Write
* Packed-Encoding: `b`
Octets: | 1
--------|------------
Fields: | LOCK
Property lock. Used for grouping changes to several properties to
take effect at once, or to temporarily prevent the automatic updating
of property values. When this property is set, the execution of the
NCP is effectively frozen until it is cleared.
This property is only supported if the `CAP_LOCK` capability is present.
Unlike most other properties, setting this property to true when the
value of the property is already true **MUST** fail with a last status
of `STATUS_ALREADY`.
### PROP 12: PROP_HOST_POWER_STATE {#prop-host-power-state}
* Type: Read-Write
* Packed-Encoding: `C`
* Default value: 4
Octets: | 1
--------|------------------
Fields: | `HOST_POWER_STATE`
Describes the current power state of the *host*. This property is used
by the host to inform the NCP when it has changed power states. The
NCP can then use this state to determine which properties need
asynchronous updates. Enumeration is encoded as a single unsigned
byte. These states are defined in similar terms to `PROP_POWER_STATE`
((#prop-power-state)).
Defined values are:
* 0: `HOST_POWER_STATE_OFFLINE`: Host is physically powered off and
cannot be woken by the NCP. All asynchronous commands are
squelched.
* 1: `HOST_POWER_STATE_DEEP_SLEEP`: The host is in a low power state
where it can be woken by the NCP but will potentially require more
than two seconds to become fully responsive. The NCP **MUST**
avoid sending unnecessary property updates, such as child table
updates or non-critical messages on the debug stream. If the NCP
needs to wake the host for traffic, the NCP **MUST** first take
action to wake the host. Once the NCP signals to the host that it
should wake up, the NCP **MUST** wait for some activity from the
host (indicating that it is fully awake) before sending frames.
* 2: **RESERVED**. This value **MUST NOT** be set by the host. If
received by the NCP, the NCP **SHOULD** consider this as a synonym
of `HOST_POWER_STATE_DEEP_SLEEP`.
* 3: `HOST_POWER_STATE_LOW_POWER`: The host is in a low power state
where it can be immediately woken by the NCP. The NCP **SHOULD**
avoid sending unnecessary property updates, such as child table
updates or non-critical messages on the debug stream.
* 4: `HOST_POWER_STATE_ONLINE`: The host is awake and responsive. No
special filtering is performed by the NCP on asynchronous updates.
* All other values are **RESERVED**. They MUST NOT be set by the
host. If received by the NCP, the NCP **SHOULD** consider the value as
a synonym of `HOST_POWER_STATE_LOW_POWER`.
<!-- RQ
-- We should consider reversing the numbering here so that 0 is
`POWER_STATE_ONLINE`. We may also want to include some extra
values between the defined values for future expansion, so
that we can preserve the ordered relationship. -- -->
After setting this power state, any further commands from the host to
the NCP will cause `HOST_POWER_STATE` to automatically revert to
`HOST_POWER_STATE_ONLINE`.
When the host is entering a low-power state, it should wait for the
response from the NCP acknowledging the command (with `CMD_VALUE_IS`).
Once that acknowledgement is received the host may enter the low-power
state.
If the NCP has the `CAP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER` capability, any unsolicited
property updates masked by `PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER` should be honored
while the host indicates it is in a low-power state. After resuming to the
`HOST_POWER_STATE_ONLINE` state, the value of `PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER`
**MUST** be unchanged from the value assigned prior to the host indicating
it was entering a low-power state.
The host **MUST** only use this property from NLI 0. Behavior when used
from other NLIs is undefined.
### PROP 13: PROP_MCU_POWER_STATE {#prop-mcu-power-state}
* Type: Read-Write
* Packed-Encoding: `C`
* Required capability: CAP_MCU_POWER_SAVE
This property specifies the desired power state of NCP's micro-controller
(MCU) when the underlying platform's operating system enters idle mode (i.e.,
all active tasks/events are processed and the MCU can potentially enter a
energy-saving power state).
The power state primarily determines how the host should interact with the NCP
and whether the host needs an external trigger (a "poke") to NCP before it can
communicate with the NCP or not. After a reset, the MCU power state MUST be
`SPINEL_MCU_POWER_STATE_ON`.
Defined values are:
* 0: `SPINEL_MCU_POWER_STATE_ON`: NCP's MCU stays on and active all the time.
When the NCP's desired power state is set to this value, host can send
messages to NCP without requiring any "poke" or external triggers. MCU is
expected to stay on and active. Note that the `ON` power state only determines
the MCU's power mode and is not related to radio's state.
* 1: `SPINEL_MCU_POWER_STATE_LOW_POWER`: NCP's MCU can enter low-power
(energy-saving) state. When the NCP's desired power state is set to
`LOW_POWER`, host is expected to "poke" the NCP (e.g., an external trigger
like an interrupt) before it can communicate with the NCP (send a message
to the NCP). The "poke" mechanism is determined by the platform code (based
on NCP's interface to the host).
While power state is set to `LOW_POWER`, NCP can still (at any time) send
messages to host. Note that receiving a message from the NCP does NOT
indicate that the NCP's power state has changed, i.e., host is expected to
continue to "poke" NCP when it wants to talk to the NCP until the power
state is explicitly changed (by setting this property to `ON`).
Note that the `LOW_POWER` power state only determines the MCU's power mode
and is not related to radio's state.
* 2: `SPINEL_MCU_POWER_STATE_OFF`: NCP is fully powered off.
An NCP hardware reset (via a RESET pin) is required to bring the NCP back
to `SPINEL_MCU_POWER_STATE_ON`. RAM is not retained after reset.
### PROP 4104: PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER {#prop-unsol-update-filter}
* Required only if `CAP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER` is set.
* Type: Read-Write
* Packed-Encoding: `A(I)`
* Default value: Empty.
Contains a list of properties which are *excluded* from generating
unsolicited value updates. This property **MUST** be empty after reset.
In other words, the host may opt-out of unsolicited property updates
for a specific property by adding that property id to this list.
Hosts **SHOULD NOT** add properties to this list which are not
present in `PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_LIST`. If such properties are added,
the NCP **MUST** ignore the unsupported properties.
<!-- RQ
-- The justification for the above behavior is to attempt to avoid possible
future interop problems by explicitly making sure that unknown
properties are ignored. Since unknown properties will obviously not be
generating unsolicited updates, it seems fairly harmless. An
implementation may print out a warning to the debug stream.
Note that the error is still detectable: If you VALUE\_SET unsupported
properties, the resulting VALUE\_IS would contain only the supported
properties of that set(since the unsupported properties would be
ignored). If an implementation cares that much about getting this
right then it needs to make sure that it checks
PROP\_UNSOL\_UPDATE\_LIST first.
-- -->
Implementations of this property are only **REQUIRED** to support
and use the following commands:
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_GET` ((#cmd-prop-value-get))
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET` ((#cmd-prop-value-set))
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` ((#cmd-prop-value-is))
Implementations of this property **MAY** optionally support and use
the following commands:
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERT` ((#cmd-prop-value-insert))
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_REMOVE` ((#cmd-prop-value-remove))
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_INSERTED` ((#cmd-prop-value-inserted))
* `CMD_PROP_VALUE_REMOVED` ((#cmd-prop-value-removed))
Host implementations which are aiming to maximize their compatability across
different firmwre implementations **SHOULD NOT** assume the availability of the
optional commands for this property.
The value of this property **SHALL** be independent for each NLI.
### PROP 4105: PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_LIST {#prop-unsol-update-list}
* Required only if `CAP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER` is set.
* Type: Read-Only
* Packed-Encoding: `A(I)`
Contains a list of properties which are capable of generating
unsolicited value updates. This list can be used when populating
`PROP_UNSOL_UPDATE_FILTER` to disable all unsolicited property
updates.
This property is intended to effectively behave as a constant
for a given NCP firmware.
Note that not all properties that support unsolicited updates need to
be listed here. Scan results, for example, are only generated due to
direct action on the part of the host, so those properties **MUST NOT**
not be included in this list.
The value of this property **MAY** be different across available
NLIs.
## Stream Properties {#prop-stream}
### PROP 112: PROP_STREAM_DEBUG {#prop-stream-debug}
* Type: Read-Only-Stream
* Packed-Encoding: `D`
Octets: | *n*
--------|------------
Fields: | UTF8_DATA
This property is a streaming property, meaning that you cannot explicitly
fetch the value of this property. The stream provides human-readable debugging
output which may be displayed in the host logs.
The location of newline characters is not assumed by the host: it is
the NCP's responsibility to insert newline characters where needed,
just like with any other text stream.
To receive the debugging stream, you wait for `CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS`
commands for this property from the NCP.
### PROP 113: PROP_STREAM_RAW {#prop-stream-raw}
* Type: Read-Write-Stream
* Packed-Encoding: `dD`
Octets: | 2 | *n* | *n*
--------|----------------|------------|----------------
Fields: | FRAME_DATA_LEN | FRAME_DATA | FRAME_METADATA
This stream provides the capability of sending and receiving raw packets
to and from the radio. The exact format of the frame metadata and data is
dependent on the MAC and PHY being used.
This property is a streaming property, meaning that you cannot explicitly
fetch the value of this property. To receive traffic, you wait for
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` commands with this property id from the NCP.
Implementations may OPTIONALLY support the ability to transmit arbitrary
raw packets. Support for this feature is indicated by the presence of the
`CAP_WRITABLE_RAW_STREAM` capability.
If the capability `CAP_WRITABLE_RAW_STREAM` is set, then packets written
to this stream with `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET` will be sent out over the radio.
This allows the caller to use the radio directly, with the stack being
implemented on the host instead of the NCP.
#### Frame Metadata Format {#frame-metadata-format}
Any data past the end of `FRAME_DATA_LEN` is considered metadata and is
OPTIONAL. Frame metadata MAY be empty or partially specified. Partially
specified metadata MUST be accepted. Default values are used for all
unspecified fields.
The same general format is used for `PROP_STREAM_RAW`, `PROP_STREAM_NET`,
and `PROP_STREAM_NET_INSECURE`. It can be used for frames sent from the
NCP to the host as well as frames sent from the host to the NCP.
The frame metadata field consists of the following fields:
Field | Description | Type | Len | Default
:--------|:-----------------------------|:-----------|-------|----------
MD_RSSI | (dBm) RSSI | `c` int8 | 1 | -128
MD_NOISE | (dBm) Noise floor | `c` int8 | 1 | -128
MD_FLAG | Flags (defined below) | `S` uint16 | 2 |
MD_PHY | PHY-specific data | `d` data | >=2 |
MD_VEND | Vendor-specific data | `d` data | >=2 |
The following fields are ignored by the NCP for packets sent to it from
the host:
* MD_NOISE
* MD_FLAG
The bit values in `MD_FLAG` are defined as follows:
Bit | Mask | Name | Description if set
---------|--------|:------------------|:----------------
15 | 0x0001 | MD_FLAG_TX | Packet was transmitted, not received.
13 | 0x0004 | MD_FLAG_BAD_FCS | Packet was received with bad FCS
12 | 0x0008 | MD_FLAG_DUPE | Packet seems to be a duplicate
11 | 0x0010 | MD_FLAG_ACKED_FP | Packet was acknowledged with frame pending set
0-10, 14 | 0xFFE2 | MD_FLAG_RESERVED | Flags reserved for future use.
The format of `MD_PHY` is specified by the PHY layer currently in use,
and may contain information such as the channel, LQI, antenna, or other
pertainent information.
### PROP 114: PROP_STREAM_NET {#prop-stream-net}
* Type: Read-Write-Stream
* Packed-Encoding: `dD`
Octets: | 2 | *n* | *n*
--------|----------------|------------|----------------
Fields: | FRAME_DATA_LEN | FRAME_DATA | FRAME_METADATA
This stream provides the capability of sending and receiving data packets
to and from the currently attached network. The exact format of the frame
metadata and data is dependent on the network protocol being used.
This property is a streaming property, meaning that you cannot explicitly
fetch the value of this property. To receive traffic, you wait for
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` commands with this property id from the NCP.
To send network packets, you call `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET` on this property with
the value of the packet.
Any data past the end of `FRAME_DATA_LEN` is considered metadata, the
format of which is described in (#frame-metadata-format).
### PROP 115: PROP_STREAM_NET_INSECURE {#prop-stream-net-insecure}
* Type: Read-Write-Stream
* Packed-Encoding: `dD`
Octets: | 2 | *n* | *n*
--------|----------------|------------|----------------
Fields: | FRAME_DATA_LEN | FRAME_DATA | FRAME_METADATA
This stream provides the capability of sending and receiving unencrypted
and unauthenticated data packets to and from nearby devices for the
purposes of device commissioning. The exact format of the frame
metadata and data is dependent on the network protocol being used.
This property is a streaming property, meaning that you cannot explicitly
fetch the value of this property. To receive traffic, you wait for
`CMD_PROP_VALUE_IS` commands with this property id from the NCP.
To send network packets, you call `CMD_PROP_VALUE_SET` on this property with
the value of the packet.
Any data past the end of `FRAME_DATA_LEN` is considered metadata, the
format of which is described in (#frame-metadata-format).

### PROP 16384: PROP_DEBUG_TEST_ASSERT {#prop-debug-test-assert}
* Type: Read-Only
* Packed-Encoding: `b`
Reading this property will cause an assert on the NCP. This
is intended for testing the assert functionality of
underlying platform/NCP. Assert should ideally cause the
NCP to reset, but if `assert` is not supported or disabled
boolean value of `false` is returned in response.
### PROP 16385: PROP_DEBUG_NCP_LOG_LEVEL {#prop-debug-ncp-log-level}

* 2: Critical (crit).
* 3: Error (err).
* 4: Warning (warn).
* 5: Notice (notice).
* 6: Information (info).
* 7: Debug (debug).
If the NCP supports dynamic log level control, setting this property
changes the log level accordingly. Getting the value returns the current
log level. If the dynamic log level control is not supported, setting this
property returns a `PROP_LAST_STATUS` with `STATUS_INVALID_COMMAND_FOR_PROP`.
### PROP 16386: PROP_DEBUG_TEST_WATCHDOG {#prop-debug-test-watchdog}
* Type: Read-Only
* Packed-Encoding: Empty
Reading this property will causes NCP to start `while(true) ;` loop and
thus triggering a watchdog. This is intended for testing the watchdog
functionality on the underlying platform/NCP.

Spinel is largely a property-based protocol, similar to representational state transfer (REST), with a property defined for every attribute that an OS needs to create, read, update or delete in the function of an IPv6 interface. The inspiration of this approach was memory-mapped hardware registers for peripherals. The goal is to avoid, as much as possible, the use of large complicated structures and/or method argument lists. The reason for avoiding these is because they have a tendency to change, especially early in development. Adding or removing a property from a structure can render the entire protocol incompatible. By using properties, you simply extend the protocol with an additional property.
Almost all features and capabilities are implemented using properties. Most new features that are initially proposed as commands can be adapted to be property-based instead. Notable exceptions include "Host Buffer Offload" ((#feature-host-buffer-offload)) and "Network Save" ((#feature-network-save)).
In Spinel, properties are keyed by an unsigned integer between 0 and 2,097,151 (See (#packed-unsigned-integer)).
## Property Methods ###
Properties may support one or more of the following methods:
* `VALUE_GET` ((#cmd-prop-value-get))
* `VALUE_SET` ((#cmd-prop-value-set))
* `VALUE_INSERT` ((#cmd-prop-value-insert))
* `VALUE_REMOVE` ((#cmd-prop-value-remove))
Additionally, the NCP can send updates to the host (either synchronously or asynchronously) that inform the host about changes to specific properties:
* `VALUE_IS` ((#cmd-prop-value-is))
* `VALUE_INSERTED` ((#cmd-prop-value-inserted))
* `VALUE_REMOVED` ((#cmd-prop-value-removed))
## Property Types ###
Conceptually, there are three different types of properties:
* Single-value properties
* Multiple-value (Array) properties
* Stream properties
### Single-Value Properties ####
Single-value properties are properties that have a simple representation of a single value. Examples would be:
* Current radio channel (Represented as an unsigned 8-bit integer)
* Network name (Represented as a UTF-8 encoded string)
* 802\.15.4 PAN ID (Represented as an unsigned 16-bit integer)
The valid operations on these sorts of properties are `GET` and `SET`.
### Multiple-Value Properties ####
Multiple-Value Properties have more than one value associated with them. Examples would be:
* List of channels supported by the radio hardware.
* List of IPv6 addresses assigned to the interface.
* List of capabilities supported by the NCP.
The valid operations on these sorts of properties are `VALUE_GET`, `VALUE_SET`, `VALUE_INSERT`, and `VALUE_REMOVE`.
When the value is fetched using `VALUE_GET`, the returned value is the concatenation of all of the individual values in the list. If the length of the value for an individual item in the list is not defined by the type then each item returned in the list is prepended with a length (See (#arrays)). The order of the returned items, unless explicitly defined for that specific property, is undefined.
`VALUE_SET` provides a way to completely replace all previous values. Calling `VALUE_SET` with an empty value effectively instructs the NCP to clear the value of that property.
`VALUE_INSERT` and `VALUE_REMOVE` provide mechanisms for the insertion or removal of individual items *by value*. The payload for these commands is a plain single value.
### Stream Properties ####
Stream properties are special properties representing streams of data. Examples would be:
* Network packet stream ((#prop-stream-net))
* Raw packet stream ((#prop-stream-raw))
* Debug message stream ((#prop-stream-debug))
* Network Beacon stream ((#prop-mac-scan-beacon))
All such properties emit changes asynchronously using the `VALUE_IS` command, sent from the NCP to the host. For example, as IPv6 traffic is received by the NCP, the IPv6 packets are sent to the host by way of asynchronous `VALUE_IS` notifications.
Some of these properties also support the host send data back to the NCP. For example, this is how the host sends IPv6 traffic to the NCP.
These types of properties generally do not support `VALUE_GET`, as it is meaningless.

# Properties
{{spinel-prop-overview.md}}
## Property Numbering
While the majority of the properties that allow the configuration
of network connectivity are network protocol specific, there are
several properties that are required in all implementations.
Future property allocations **SHALL** be made from the
following allocation plan:
Property ID Range | Description
:---------------------|:-----------------
0 - 127 | Reserved for frequently-used properties
128 - 15,359 | Technology-specific
15,360 - 16,383 | Vendor-specific
16,384 - 1,999,999 | Technology-specific
2,000,000 - 2,097,151 | Experimental use only
For an explanation of the data format encoding shorthand used
throughout this document, see (#data-packing).
## Property Sections
The currently assigned properties are broken up into several
sections, each with reserved ranges of property identifiers.
These ranges are:
Name | Range (Inclusive) | Description
-------------|--------------------------------|------------------------
Core | 0x000 - 0x01F, 0x1000 - 0x11FF | Spinel core
PHY | 0x020 - 0x02F, 0x1200 - 0x12FF | Radio PHY layer
MAC | 0x030 - 0x03F, 0x1300 - 0x13FF | MAC layer
NET | 0x040 - 0x04F, 0x1400 - 0x14FF | Network
Thread | 0x050 - 0x05F, 0x1500 - 0x15FF | Thread
IPv6 | 0x060 - 0x06F, 0x1600 - 0x16FF | IPv6
Stream | 0x070 - 0x07F, 0x1700 - 0x17FF | Stream
MeshCop | 0x080 - 0x08F, 0x1800 - 0x18FF | Thread Mesh Commissioning
OpenThread | 0x1900 - 0x19FF | OpenThread specific
Interface | 0x100 - 0x1FF | Interface (e.g., UART)
PIB | 0x400 - 0x4FF | 802.15.4 PIB
Counter | 0x500 - 0x7FF | Counters (MAC, IP, etc).
Nest | 0x3BC0 - 0x3BFF | Nest (legacy)
Vendor | 0x3C00 - 0x3FFF | Vendor specific
Debug | 0x4000 - 0x43FF | Debug related
Experimental | 2,000,000 - 2,097,151 | Experimental use only
Note that some of the property sections have two reserved
ranges: a primary range (which is encoded as a single byte)
and an extended range (which is encoded as two bytes).
properties which are used more frequently are generally
allocated from the former range.

# Security Considerations #
## Raw Application Access ##
Spinel **MAY** be used as an API boundary for allowing processes to configure
the NCP. However, such a system **MUST NOT** give unprivileged processess the
ability to send or receive arbitrary command frames to the NCP. Only the
specific commands and properties that are required should be allowed to be
passed, and then only after being checked for proper format.

# Status Codes
Status codes are sent from the NCP to the host via
`PROP_LAST_STATUS` using the `CMD_VALUE_IS` command to indicate
the return status of a previous command. As with any response,
the TID field of the FLAG byte is used to correlate the response
with the request.
Note that most successfully executed commands do not indicate
a last status of `STATUS_OK`. The usual way the NCP indicates a
successful command is to mirror the property change back to the
host. For example, if you do a `CMD_VALUE_SET` on `PROP_PHY_ENABLED`,
the NCP would indicate success by responding with a `CMD_VALUE_IS`
for `PROP_PHY_ENABLED`. If the command failed, `PROP_LAST_STATUS`
would be emitted instead.
See (#prop-last-status) for more information on `PROP_LAST_STATUS`.

* `6` : Target IPv6 address
* `S` : RLOC16 of target
* `C` : Age (order of use, 0 indicates most recently used entry)
### PROP 5412: SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_UDP_FORWARD_STREAM (#prop-thread-udp-proxy-stream)
* Type: Write-Stream
* Packed-Encoding: `dS6S`
* Required capability: `CAP_THREAD_UDP_FORWARD`
This property helps exchange UDP packets with host.
`d`: UDP payload
`S`: Remote UDP port
`6`: Remote IPv6 address
`S`: Local UDP port
### PROP 5413: SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_GET_ACTIVE_DATASET (#prop-thread-mgmt-get-active-dataset)
* Type: Write-Only
* Packing-format: `A(t(iD))`
The formatting of this property follows the same rules as in
SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_SET_ACTIVE_DATASET. This property
allows the sender to not include a value associated with
properties in formating of `t(iD)`, i.e., it should accept
either a `t(iD)` or a `t(i)` encoding which in both cases
indicate the associated Dataset property should be requested
as part of MGMT_GET command.
When written, it triggers a MGMT_ACTIVE_GET meshcop command to be
sent to leader with the given Dataset. The spinel frame response
should be a `LAST_STATUS` with the status of the transmission
of MGMT_ACTIVE_GET command.
In addition to supported properties in
SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_SET_ACTIVE_DATASET, the following property
can be optionally included in the Dataset:
* SPINEL_PROP_DATASET_DEST_ADDRESS
### PROP 5414: SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_GET_PENDING_DATASET (#prop-thread-mgmt-get-pending-dataset)
* Type: Write-Only
* Packing-format: `A(t(iD))`
The formatting of this property follows the same rules as in
SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_GET_ACTIVE_DATASET.
This is write-only property. When written, it triggers a
MGMT_PENDING_GET meshcop command to be sent to leader with the
given Dataset. The spinel frame response should be a
`LAST_STATUS` with the status of the transmission of
MGMT_PENDING_GET command.
In addition to supported properties in
SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_SET_PENDING_DATASET, the following property
can be optionally included the Dataset:
* SPINEL_PROP_DATASET_DEST_ADDRESS
### PROP 5415: SPINEL_PROP_DATASET_DEST_ADDRESS (#prop-dataset-dest-address)
* Type: No direct read or write
* Packing-Encoding: `6`
This property specifies the IPv6 destination when sending
MGMT_GET command for either Active or Pending Dataset if not
provided, Leader ALOC address is used as default.
This can only be included in one of the Dataset related properties below:
* SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_GET_ACTIVE_DATASET
* SPINEL_PROP_THREAD_MGMT_GET_PENDING_DATASET
