+# Data Link Layer
+
+This component represents the data link layer. It will handle board to board communication (abstracting away the RMT specific details of transmitting physical raw bits over wires).
+
+## Frame Definitions
+
+See `./include/Frames.h` for frame definitions.
+
+There will be two types of frames: Control and Generic.
+
+Control frames will contain all control information (eg. Spinning a DC motor, moving a servo to a particular angle, sensor information). These frames will have a limit of 32B of data size with a total packet size of 41B. These frames will not be fragmented.
+
+Generic frames will contain all other information. They will have a max data size of 8KiB with a total packet size of 8206B (8.013672 KiB). These frames can be fragmented.
+
+To differentiate between the two frames, the `type` field in both frames will be compared against. If the MSB is set to 1, it will be determined to be a control packet.
+
+## Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Table
+
+See `./include/Tables.h` for table definitions.
+
+WIP

+# ESP32-S3 RMT
+
+WIP
+
+The related ESP32-S3 latest documentation on RMT can be found [here](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32s3/api-reference/peripherals/rmt.html).
+
+## Encoding
+Using the Ethernet Manchester encoding method where a bit 1 is encoded as a falling edge transition (high -> low) and a bit 0 is encoded as a rising edge transition (low -> high). 
+
+Specific timings are defined in `RMTSymbols.h` but it has been tested with 10us intervals (each symbol has length 20us) with 1MHz resolution.
+
+Physical Layer will be using Manchester encoding (see the doc/detailed_design_timeline document for more information).
+
+### Testing with other Encoding Methods
+We may test and compare with other encoding methods to see which has better performance. Currently, we are using manchester at 1MHz resolution - probably good enough for 10Mbps? (needs to be tested)
+
+The following are some potential other encoding methods (inspired from http://units.folder101.com/cisco/sem1/Notes/ch7-technologies/encoding.htm)
+- Manchester with shorter symbol durations (and with higher resolutions?) - Used by 100Mbps Ethernet
+- NRZ Inverted - Used by 100BASE-FX networks
+- 8b/10b with NRZ - Used by 1000BASE-X
+
+## Transceiver Operations
+We are currently only using one channel for TX and one channel for RX. This will be changed in the future to use multiple channels at the same time (transmitting separate data however/transmitting independent of each other).
+
+Currently, TX is being transmitted from `RMT_TX_GPIO` and RX being received from `RMT_RX_GPIO`.
+
+## Completed Encoding Methods
+- Manchester
+- NRZ-I
+
+## Testing
+Use `-D TIME_TEST=1` to measure the average transmission rate (over 1000 iterations) on a chosen encoding scheme.
+
+To change encoding schemes, use one of the following compiler flags:
+- `MANCHESTER_40=1` for 40MHz resolution Manchester
+- `NRZ-INVERTED=1` for Non-Return-to-Zero Inverted
+- with no specified encoding schemes, the program will use Manchester at 1MHz resolution.
+
+### Notes
+You may need to perform a `idf.py clean` or `idf.py fullclean` to undefine the unwanted compiler flags previously set (eg. when changing encoding schemes or not running the time test)
