I've been trying to develop a small software based character UART.
Eight (8) bit characters have one start bit (a zero) one stop bit (a one) and one odd bit of parity. Idle states are a one, so getting 100's of ones in a row is acceptable. The acceptable format is:



Bison is not built for the kind of problem. You might be able to do it with Flex. For example, you could have a loop scanning for the first '0', and when it arrives, you set a start condition for a rule picking down the next ten characters. If there is something wrong with them, put them back, and rescan; otherwise output re character.
