Hi,
I've been interested in BCD presentation as well. For that I've whipped
together some proto_tree_add_bcd() code, but couldn't really get my head
around creating a generic FT_BCD.
For that matter you're talking about PACKED BCD, which is different from
BCD.
PACKED BCD: 0x46 0x10 -> 4610
BCD: 0x04 0x06 0x01 0x00 -> 4610
So if we make FT_BCD we also need to make FT_PACKED_BCD.
Anyone a decent manual for adding FTs?
Thanx,
Jaap
