33 * The format of the incoming HW clusters is as follows:
39 * WORD 4 : CDH4 8 32-bit words for the common data header
44 * WORD 8 : contains cluster identification (bits 30-31), Row (6 bits (bit 24-29)) and Charge (24 bits (bit 0-23))
45 * WORD 9 : contain the pad (32 bits)
46 * WORD 10 : contain the time (32 bits)
47 * WORD 11 : contain the pad error (32 bits)
48 * WORD 12 : contain the time error (32 bits)
50 * WORD 13 : contains cluster identification (bits 30-31), Row (6 bits (bit 24-29)) and Charge (24 bits (bit 0-23))
51 * WORD 14 : contains the pad (32 bits)
52 * WORD 15 : contains the time (32 bits)
53 * WORD 16 : contains the pad error (32 bits)
54 * WORD 17 : contains the time error (32 bits)
56 * WORD 18 : RCU TRAILER WORD 0
57 * WORD 19 : RCU TRAILER WORD 1
59 * WORD 18+N : RCU TRAILER WORD N
61 * The cluster is signified with bits 30 and 31 being 11 (0x3).
62 * The RCU trailer is signified with bits 30 and 31 being 10 (0x2).
64 * A buffer reads the incoming data block. We skip the first 8 words of the CDH.
65 * Then we shift 30 bits to the right to get the last 2 bits of the next word, 30 and 31.
67 * If bit3031 = 0x3 (11), we are in the beginning of a cluster.
68 * We apply a 24-bit mask to get the first 24 bits that represent the charge of the cluster.
69 * We cast the word buffer to an 8-bit pointer that will point at bit 0 (for little endian),
70 * then increment it by 3 bytes, which takes us to bit 24. The last byte of the word
71 * contains row info and the cluster tag (11).
73 * With a & bit operation the row info is retrieved (6 bits).
74 * The rest of the cluster information is contained in the following 4 words.
76 * If bit3031 = 0x2 (10), we have reached the RCU trailer.
78 * -------------------------------------------------------
80 * Short note about little endian:
82 * DE AD BE EF (a 4 byte word)
84 * The byte order in memory to represent this word will be:
91 * The least significant byte value is stored at the lowest address.
