Detailed Description

Defines a driver to facilitate interfacing with the UART hardware to send and receive bytes or a stream of bytes over the UART hardware.

Typical use-cases involve printing messages over UART/RS-232, or to communicate with peripheral devices.

Example Usage:

void testPUARTDriver(void)
{
    uint8_t readbyte;
    uint8_t loopCtrl = 1;
    char printBuffer[50];

    //Pins for PUART should be configured from wiced_platform_pin_config.c
    wiced_hal_puart_init();

    wiced_hal_puart_flow_off();  //turn off flow control
    wiced_hal_puart_enable_tx();
    wiced_hal_puart_enable_rx();

    while(loopCtrl)
    {
        while(wiced_hal_puart_read(&readbyte))
        {
            wiced_hal_puart_write(readbyte);

            if(readbyte == 'S')
            {
                wiced_hal_puart_print("\nYou typed 'S'.");

                sprintf(printBuffer, "\nThis message sprintf'ed here.");
                wiced_hal_puart_print(printBuffer);
            }

            if(readbyte == 'E') // End.
            {
                loopCtrl = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}

Function Documentation

wiced_bool_t wiced_hal_puart_configuration	(	uint32_t	baudrate,
		parity_t	parity,
		stop_bit_t	stop_bit
	)

updates the parity and stop bits as per received value

Parameters

baudrate	- Desired rate in symbols/sec ex. 9600
parity	- PARITY_ODD for odd parity, PARITY_EVEN for even parity, PARITY_NONE for no parity.
stop_bit	- STOP_BIT_1 for 1 stop bit, STOP_BIT_2 for 2 stop bits.

Returns

wiced_bool_t - WICED_TRUE if the configuration was successfully set, otherwise WICED_FALSE. NOTE: For baudrate greater than 2.727272 Mb/sec use of 2 stop bits is mandatory due to hardware limitation.

void wiced_hal_puart_disable_tx

(

void

)

Disable transmit capability.

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_enable_rx

(

void

)

Enable receive capability (specifically, by enabling PUART RX interrupts through the MIA driver).

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_enable_tx

(

void

)

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_flow_off

(

void

)

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_flow_on

(

void

)

Enable flow control.

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_init

(

void

)

Initialize the Peripheral UART interface with the default configuration parameters.

This must be invoked once at boot before using any of PUART's services.

Default baud rate is 115200 Bd. This can be changed by calling "wiced_hal_puart_configuration()" as described later, after this initialization function.

Parameters

none

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_print

(

char *

string

)

Print/send a string of characters via the TX line.

Parameters

string

- A string of characters to send.

Returns

none

wiced_bool_t wiced_hal_puart_read

(

uint8_t *

rxByte

)

Read one byte via the RX line.

Parameters

rxByte

- Destination byte to hold received data byte from RX FIFO.

Returns

TRUE if data was successfully read, FALSE if not (RX FIFO was empty).

void wiced_hal_puart_register_interrupt

(

void(*)(void *)

puart_rx_cbk

)

Register Interrupt handler with PUART.

Parameters

puart_rx_cbk

- Call back function to process rx bytes

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_reset_puart_interrupt

(

void

)

Clears and enables PUART interrupt.

Parameters

none

Returns

none

wiced_bool_t wiced_hal_puart_rx_fifo_not_empty

(

void

)

Check to see if there is any data ready in the RX FIFO.

Parameters

none

Returns

TRUE if bytes are avaliable, FALSE if the FIFO is empty.

wiced_bool_t wiced_hal_puart_select_uart_pads	(	uint8_t	rxdPin,
		uint8_t	txdPin,
		uint8_t	ctsPin,
		uint8_t	rtsPin
	)

Select the TX/RX and optional CTS/RTS pins (P<pin>) for the UART hardware to use.

Please follow the guidelines set in the User Documentation when selecting pins, as not all pins are avaliable for the PUART driver; they depend on the specific hardware platform.

Remember that P# is the physical pin number on the board minus 1. Ex: Board Pin 33 = P32.

Parameters

rxdPin	- RX Pin
txdPin	- TX Pin
ctsPin	- CTS Pin
rtsPin	- RTS Pin

Returns

TRUE if pads were successfully set, FALSE if pads were not set. If FALSE, make sure input port/pin parameters are correct.

void wiced_hal_puart_set_baudrate

(

uint32_t

baudrate

)

Set the baud rate (Bd) to a value other than the default 115200 Bd.

Parameters

baudrate

- Desired rate in symbols per second, e.g. 9600.

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_set_watermark_level

(

uint32_t

watermark_level

)

updates the watermark level to the received value

Parameters

watermark_level

- watermark level in bytes

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_synchronous_read	(	uint8_t *	buffer,
		uint32_t	length

Returns

none

void wiced_hal_puart_write

(

uint8_t

byte

)

Print/send one byte via the TX line.

Parameters

Returns

none
