Chip Manual Query

CRITICAL: Do NOT read manual files directly!

Always use the query script. Manual files are too large for context.

IMPORTANT: Check Document Availability First!

Not all chips have API documentation. Before querying, check what documents are available:

# Check config.yaml or use --list to see available document types
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py --list

Output will show available_docs for each chip. If a chip only has ref type, don't waste time querying api.

Workflow: Developing a Driver from Scratch

When user needs to develop a driver for a peripheral (e.g., USART, SPI, I2C):

Step 1: Check if API documentation exists

python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py --list

Look for "type": "api" in the chip's available_docs. If not available, skip to reference manual.

Step 2: Discover available APIs for the module

# Query what API functions are available for a module
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "list all USART functions"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "what SPI APIs are available"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "I2C module function list"

Step 3: Query specific API usage

# Query specific function usage, parameters, examples
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "USART_Init function parameters and usage"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "how to use GPIO_SetBits"

Step 4: Query hardware details from reference manual (if needed)

# Query register addresses, bit field definitions
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X "USART register addresses"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X "GPIO port base address"

Query Usage

python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py --chip <CHIP_NAME> [--type <TYPE>] "<question>"

Document Types

Type	Description	Use Cases
ref	Reference Manual (default)	Registers, hardware config, peripheral specs, pins
api	API Reference	Driver library functions, parameters, examples

---

Examples

Query Reference Manual (registers, hardware config)

python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py --chip RN7326 "EMUCON register address"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py --chip RN7326 "DMA_CH_SEL register definition"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410 "GPIO config registers"

Query API Reference (driver library functions)

# Discover available APIs
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "list all timer functions"

# Query specific usage
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "TMR_TimeBaseInit parameters"
python3 $SKILL_DIR/scripts/query_manual.py -c V32G410X -t api "how to configure PWM output"

---

Concurrency Limit

Maximum 3 concurrent queries. Do NOT run more than 3 query_manual.py commands in parallel to avoid API rate limits.

Tips

• Check availability first: Use --list or read config.yaml to confirm chip has required document type
• Discover APIs first: When developing drivers, query module functions before specific usage
• Use exact register/function names when possible
• If "not found", try broader keywords
• Common API prefixes: GPIO_*, USART_*, SPI_*, I2C_*, TMR_*, ADC_*, DMA_*
