I am trying to reverse engineer a serial communication between to microcontrollers (1 device & 1 microcontroller on a board). One MCU validates the other MCU and I want to crack the validation and mimic the validated MCU. I want to find out what protocol is being used to make sense of the data. I have captured the communication with a logic analyzer and here is a screenshot from PulseView:
PulseView has decoding function but I don't know where to begin. The communication happens via 1 wire only. But I am not sure if the protocol is "one-wire". Are there any known standard methods to identify an unknown communication protocol? Or do I have to identify it by simply looking at it?
I wrote a script to convert the data into times required to change from one state to another (high-to-low or low-to-high) to compare repeated measurements and absence of the validated MCU. Each time the patterns look slightly different. It would have been great to know to decode this into byte array or whatever is intended for.
PS: smallest time required for a change is 30μs as seen at the 3rd row on the image (120μs = 4 states).
Thanks!
