"""
max_command_speed_test.py
Finds the maximum stable command rate for the UART command protocol described
by `struct command_message_t`, using the LED command (sent with length=0,
i.e. no data bytes -- only the 5-byte header) as the test payload.
Wire format (matches the firmware's ring-buffer parser):
[prefix:1][length:1][id:1][command:1][crc:1][data:length]
Note the firmware only ever reads `length` bytes of data off the wire (see
`usb_thread`), NOT the full 160-byte `data[]` array from the struct -- the
160 bytes only exist in RAM. So we must only transmit `length` bytes.
CRC: sum of prefix+length+id+command+0(crc placeholder)+data[0..length-1],
mod 256, then crc = (0x100 - sum) & 0xff. This matches
`command_calculate_crc()`, which runs while msg->crc is still 0 (it's set
by the caller only *after* this function returns).
Two test modes:
roundtrip - send one command, wait for ACK/NACK, repeat. Measures the
sustainable rate when the host waits for each reply
(safest / simplest way to drive the device).
flood - send a whole burst of commands back-to-back at a fixed
inter-command delay, then collect all the ACK/NACK replies
afterwards. This stresses the UART IRQ handler + ring buffer
directly and finds the max raw throughput the firmware can
absorb without dropping/desyncing bytes.
The script sweeps delays (roundtrip) or a binary search on delay (flood) to
find the smallest stable delay (i.e. highest command rate) that still gets
a correct ACK for every command sent.
