Description

Driver API for Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (Driver_USART.h)

The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART) implements a synchronous and asynchronous serial bus for exchanging data. When only asynchronous mode is supported it is called Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART). Almost all microcontrollers have a serial interface (UART/USART peripheral). A UART is a simple device to send data to a PC via a terminal emulation program (Hyperterm, TeraTerm) or to another microcontroller. A UART takes bytes of data and transmits the individual bits in a sequential mode. At the destination, a second UART reassembles the bits into complete bytes. Each UART contains a shift register for converting between serial and parallel transmission forms. Wikipedia offers more information about the Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter.

USART API

The following header files define the Application Programming Interface (API) for the USART interface:

The driver implementation is a typical part of the Device Family Pack (DFP) that supports the peripherals of the microcontroller family.

Driver Functions

The driver functions are published in the access struct as explained in Common Driver Functions

Data Structure Documentation

struct ARM_DRIVER_USART

Access structure of the USART Driver.

The functions of the USART driver are accessed by function pointers exposed by this structure. Refer to Common Driver Functions for overview information.

Each instance of an USART interface provides such an access structure. The instance is identified by a postfix number in the symbol name of the access structure, for example:

  • Driver_USART0 is the name of the access struct of the first instance (no. 0).
  • Driver_USART1 is the name of the access struct of the second instance (no. 1).

A middleware configuration setting allows connecting the middleware to a specific driver instance Driver_USARTn. The default is 0, which connects a middleware to the first instance of a driver.

ARM_USART_CAPABILITIES drv_capabilities;
drv_info = &Driver_USART0;
drv_capabilities = drv_info->GetCapabilities ();
// interrogate capabilities
}
int32_t ARM_USART_Initialize ( ARM_USART_SignalEvent_t  cb_event)

Initialize USART Interface.

Parameters
[in]cb_eventPointer to ARM_USART_SignalEvent
Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_USART_Initialize initializes the USART interface. It is called when the middleware component starts operation.

The function performs the following operations:

  • Initializes the resources needed for the USART interface.
  • Registers the ARM_USART_SignalEvent callback function.

The parameter cb_event is a pointer to the ARM_USART_SignalEvent callback function; use a NULL pointer when no callback signals are required.

Example:

int32_t ARM_USART_Uninitialize ( void  )

De-initialize USART Interface.

Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_USART_Uninitialize de-initializes the resources of USART interface.

It is called when the middleware component stops operation and releases the software resources used by the interface.

int32_t ARM_USART_PowerControl ( ARM_POWER_STATE  state)

Control USART Interface Power.

Parameters
[in]statePower state
Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_USART_PowerControl operates the power modes of the USART interface.

The parameter state sets the operation and can have the following values:

  • ARM_POWER_FULL : set-up peripheral for data transfers, enable interrupts (NVIC) and optionally DMA. Can be called multiple times. If the peripheral is already in this mode the function performs no operation and returns with ARM_DRIVER_OK.
  • ARM_POWER_LOW : may use power saving. Returns ARM_DRIVER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED when not implemented.
  • ARM_POWER_OFF : terminates any pending data transfers, disables peripheral, disables related interrupts and DMA.

Refer to Function Call Sequence for more information.

int32_t ARM_USART_Send ( const void *  data,
uint32_t  num 
)

Start sending data to USART transmitter.

Parameters
[in]dataPointer to buffer with data to send to USART transmitter
[in]numNumber of data items to send
Returns
Status Error Codes

This functions ARM_USART_Send is used in asynchronous mode to send data to the USART transmitter. It can also be used in synchronous mode when sending data only (received data is ignored).

Transmitter needs to be enabled by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_CONTROL_TX as the control parameter and 1 as argument.

The function parameters specify the buffer with data and the number of items to send. The item size is defined by the data type which depends on the configured number of data bits.

Data type is:

  • uint8_t when configured for 5..8 data bits
  • uint16_t when configured for 9 data bits

Calling the function ARM_USART_Send only starts the send operation. The function is non-blocking and returns as soon as the driver has started the operation (driver typically configures DMA or the interrupt system for continuous transfer). When in synchronous slave mode the operation is only registered and started when the master starts the transfer. During the operation it is not allowed to call this function again or any other data transfer function when in synchronous mode. Also the data buffer must stay allocated and the contents of unsent data must not be modified. When send operation is completed (requested number of items sent) the ARM_USART_EVENT_SEND_COMPLETE event is generated. Progress of send operation can also be monitored by reading the number of items already sent by calling ARM_USART_GetTxCount.

After send operation has completed there might still be some data left in the driver's hardware buffer which is still being transmitted. When all data has been physically transmitted the ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE event is generated (if supported and reported by event_tx_complete in ARM_USART_CAPABILITIES). At that point also the tx_busy data field in ARM_USART_STATUS is cleared.

Status of the transmitter can be monitored by calling the ARM_USART_GetStatus and checking the tx_busy flag which indicates if transmission is still in progress.

When in synchronous slave mode and transmitter is enabled but send/receive/transfer operation is not started and data is requested by the master then the ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_UNDERFLOW event is generated.

Send operation can be aborted by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_ABORT_SEND as the control parameter.

int32_t ARM_USART_Receive ( void *  data,
uint32_t  num 
)

Start receiving data from USART receiver.

Parameters
[out]dataPointer to buffer for data to receive from USART receiver
[in]numNumber of data items to receive
Returns
Status Error Codes

This functions ARM_USART_Receive is used in asynchronous mode to receive data from the USART receiver. It can also be used in synchronous mode when receiving data only (transmits the default value as specified by ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_SET_DEFAULT_TX_VALUE as control parameter).

Receiver needs to be enabled by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_CONTROL_RX as the control parameter and 1 as argument.

The function parameters specify the buffer for data and the number of items to receive. The item size is defined by the data type which depends on the configured number of data bits.

Data type is:

  • uint8_t when configured for 5..8 data bits
  • uint16_t when configured for 9 data bits

Calling the function ARM_USART_Receive only starts the receive operation. The function is non-blocking and returns as soon as the driver has started the operation (driver typically configures DMA or the interrupt system for continuous transfer). When in synchronous slave mode the operation is only registered and started when the master starts the transfer. During the operation it is not allowed to call this function again or any other data transfer function when in synchronous mode. Also the data buffer must stay allocated. When receive operation is completed (requested number of items received) the ARM_USART_EVENT_RECEIVE_COMPLETE event is generated. Progress of receive operation can also be monitored by reading the number of items already received by calling ARM_USART_GetRxCount.

Status of the receiver can be monitored by calling the ARM_USART_GetStatus and checking the rx_busy flag which indicates if reception is still in progress.

During reception the following events can be generated (in asynchronous mode):

ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_OVERFLOW event is also generated when receiver is enabled but data is lost because receive operation in asynchronous mode or receive/send/transfer operation in synchronous slave mode has not been started.

Receive operation can be aborted by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_ABORT_RECEIVE as the control parameter.

int32_t ARM_USART_Transfer ( const void *  data_out,
void *  data_in,
uint32_t  num 
)

Start sending/receiving data to/from USART transmitter/receiver.

Parameters
[in]data_outPointer to buffer with data to send to USART transmitter
[out]data_inPointer to buffer for data to receive from USART receiver
[in]numNumber of data items to transfer
Returns
Status Error Codes

This functions ARM_USART_Transfer is used in synchronous mode to transfer data via USART. It synchronously sends data to the USART transmitter and receives data from the USART receiver.

Transmitter needs to be enabled by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_CONTROL_TX as the control parameter and 1 as argument. Receiver needs to be enabled by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_CONTROL_RX as the control parameter and 1 as argument.

The function parameters specify the buffer with data to send, the buffer for data to receive and the number of items to transfer. The item size is defined by the data type which depends on the configured number of data bits.

Data type is:

  • uint8_t when configured for 5..8 data bits
  • uint16_t when configured for 9 data bits

Calling the function ARM_USART_Transfer only starts the transfer operation. The function is non-blocking and returns as soon as the driver has started the operation (driver typically configures DMA or the interrupt system for continuous transfer). When in synchronous slave mode the operation is only registered and started when the master starts the transfer. During the operation it is not allowed to call this function or any other data transfer function again. Also the data buffers must stay allocated and the contents of unsent data must not be modified. When transfer operation is completed (requested number of items transferred) the ARM_USART_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE event is generated. Progress of transfer operation can also be monitored by reading the number of items already transferred by calling ARM_USART_GetTxCount or ARM_USART_GetRxCount.

Status of the transmitter or receiver can be monitored by calling the ARM_USART_GetStatus and checking the tx_busy or rx_busy flag.

When in synchronous slave mode also the following events can be generated:

Transfer operation can also be aborted by calling ARM_USART_Control with ARM_USART_ABORT_TRANSFER as the control parameter.

void ARM_USART_SignalEvent ( uint32_t  event)

Signal USART Events.

Parameters
[in]eventUSART Events notification mask
Returns
none

The function ARM_USART_SignalEvent is a callback function registered by the function ARM_USART_Initialize.

The parameter event indicates one or more events that occurred during driver operation. Each event is encoded in a separate bit and therefore it is possible to signal multiple events within the same call.

Not every event is necessarily generated by the driver. This depends on the implemented capabilities stored in the data fields of the structure ARM_USART_CAPABILITIES, which can be retrieved with the function ARM_USART_GetCapabilities.

The following events can be generated:

Parameter event Bit Description supported when ARM_USART_CAPABILITIES
ARM_USART_EVENT_SEND_COMPLETE 0 Occurs after call to ARM_USART_Send to indicate that all the data to be sent was processed by the driver. All the data might have been already transmitted or parts of it are still queued in transmit buffers. The driver is ready for the next call to ARM_USART_Send; however USART may still transmit data. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_RECEIVE_COMPLETE 1 Occurs after call to ARM_USART_Receive to indicate that all the data has been received. The driver is ready for the next call to ARM_USART_Receive. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE 2 Occurs after call to ARM_USART_Transfer to indicate that all the data has been transferred. The driver is ready for the next call to ARM_USART_Transfer. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE 3 Occurs after call to ARM_USART_Transfer to indicate that all the data has been transferred. The driver is ready for the next call to ARM_USART_Transfer. data field event_tx_complete = 1
ARM_USART_EVENT_TX_UNDERFLOW 4 Occurs in synchronous slave mode when data is requested by the master but send/receive/transfer operation has not been started. Data field rx_underflow = 1 of ARM_USART_STATUS. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_OVERFLOW 5 Occurs when data is lost during receive/transfer operation or when data is lost because receive operation in asynchronous mode or receive/send/transfer operation in synchronous slave mode has not been started. Data field rx_overflow = 1 of ARM_USART_STATUS. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_TIMEOUT 6 Occurs during receive when idle time is detected between consecutive characters (idle time is hardware dependent). data field event_rx_timeout = 1
ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_BREAK 7 Occurs when break is detected during receive. Data field rx_break = 1 of ARM_USART_STATUS. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_FRAMING_ERROR 8 Occurs when framing error is detected during receive. Data field rx_framing_error = 1 of ARM_USART_STATUS. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_RX_PARITY_ERROR 9 Occurs when parity error is detected during receive. Data field rx_parity_error = 1 of ARM_USART_STATUS. allways supported
ARM_USART_EVENT_CTS 10 Indicates that CTS modem line state has changed. Data field cts = 1 of ARM_USART_MODEM_STATUS. data field event_cts = 1 and
data field cts = 1
ARM_USART_EVENT_CTS 11 Indicates that DSR modem line state has changed. Data field dsr = 1 of ARM_USART_MODEM_STATUS. data field event_dsr = 1 and
data field dsr = 1
ARM_USART_EVENT_DCD 12 Indicates that DCD modem line state has changed. Data field dcd = 1 of ARM_USART_MODEM_STATUS. data field event_dcd = 1 and
data field dcd = 1
ARM_USART_EVENT_RI 13 Indicates that RI modem line state has changed. Data field ri = 1 of ARM_USART_MODEM_STATUS. data field event_ri = 1 and
data field ri = 1
