Detailed Description

Function Documentation

void UART9BitAddrSend	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint8_t	ui8Addr
	)

Sends an address character from the specified port when operating in 9-bit mode.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui8Addr	is the address to be transmitted.

This function waits until all data has been sent from the specified port and then sends the given address as an address byte. It then waits until the address byte has been transmitted before returning.

The normal data functions (UARTCharPut(), UARTCharPutNonBlocking(), UARTCharGet(), and UARTCharGetNonBlocking()) are used to send and receive data characters in 9-bit mode.

Note

The availability of 9-bit mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UART9BitAddrSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint8_t	ui8Addr,
		uint8_t	ui8Mask
	)

Sets the device address(es) for 9-bit mode.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui8Addr	is the device address.
ui8Mask	is the device address mask.

This function configures the device address or range of device addresses that respond to requests on the 9-bit UART port. The received address is masked with the mask and then compared against the given address, allowing either a single address (if ui8Mask is 0xff) or a set of addresses to be matched.

Note

The availability of 9-bit mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UART9BitDisable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Disables 9-bit mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function disables the 9-bit operational mode of the UART.

Note

The availability of 9-bit mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UART9BitEnable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Enables 9-bit mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function enables the 9-bit operational mode of the UART.

Note

The availability of 9-bit mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTBreakCtl	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		bool	bBreakState
	)

Causes a BREAK to be sent.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
bBreakState	controls the output level.

Calling this function with bBreakState set to true asserts a break condition on the UART. Calling this function with bBreakState set to false removes the break condition. For proper transmission of a break command, the break must be asserted for at least two complete frames.

Returns

None.

bool UARTBusy

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Determines whether the UART transmitter is busy or not.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function allows the caller to determine whether all transmitted bytes have cleared the transmitter hardware. If false is returned, the transmit FIFO is empty and all bits of the last transmitted character, including all stop bits, have left the hardware shift register.

Returns

Returns true if the UART is transmitting or false if all transmissions are complete.

int32_t UARTCharGet

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Waits for a character from the specified port.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function gets a character from the receive FIFO for the specified port. If there are no characters available, this function waits until a character is received before returning.

Returns

Returns the character read from the specified port, cast as a int32_t.

int32_t UARTCharGetNonBlocking

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Receives a character from the specified port.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function gets a character from the receive FIFO for the specified port.

Returns

Returns the character read from the specified port, cast as a int32_t. A -1 is returned if there are no characters present in the receive FIFO. The UARTCharsAvail() function should be called before attempting to call this function.

void UARTCharPut	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		unsigned char	ucData
	)

Waits to send a character from the specified port.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ucData	is the character to be transmitted.

This function sends the character ucData to the transmit FIFO for the specified port. If there is no space available in the transmit FIFO, this function waits until there is space available before returning.

Returns

None.

bool UARTCharPutNonBlocking	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		unsigned char	ucData
	)

Sends a character to the specified port.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ucData	is the character to be transmitted.

This function writes the character ucData to the transmit FIFO for the specified port. This function does not block, so if there is no space available, then a false is returned and the application must retry the function later.

Returns

Returns true if the character was successfully placed in the transmit FIFO or false if there was no space available in the transmit FIFO.

bool UARTCharsAvail

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Determines if there are any characters in the receive FIFO.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns a flag indicating whether or not there is data available in the receive FIFO.

Returns

Returns true if there is data in the receive FIFO or false if there is no data in the receive FIFO.

uint32_t UARTClockSourceGet

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Gets the baud clock source for the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns the baud clock source for the specified UART. The possible baud clock source are the system clock (UART_CLOCK_SYSTEM) or the precision internal oscillator (UART_CLOCK_PIOSC).

Note

The ability to specify the UART baud clock source varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTClockSourceSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32Source
	)

Sets the baud clock source for the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32Source	is the baud clock source for the UART.

This function allows the baud clock source for the UART to be selected. The possible clock source are the system clock (UART_CLOCK_SYSTEM) or the precision internal oscillator (UART_CLOCK_PIOSC).

Changing the baud clock source changes the baud rate generated by the UART. Therefore, the baud rate should be reconfigured after any change to the baud clock source.

Note

The ability to specify the UART baud clock source varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTConfigGetExpClk	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32UARTClk,
		uint32_t *	pui32Baud,
		uint32_t *	pui32Config
	)

Gets the current configuration of a UART.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32UARTClk	is the rate of the clock supplied to the UART module.
pui32Baud	is a pointer to storage for the baud rate.
pui32Config	is a pointer to storage for the data format.

This function determines the baud rate and data format for the UART, given an explicitly provided peripheral clock (hence the ExpClk suffix). The returned baud rate is the actual baud rate; it may not be the exact baud rate requested or an ``official'' baud rate. The data format returned in pui32Config is enumerated the same as the ui32Config parameter of UARTConfigSetExpClk().

The peripheral clock is the same as the processor clock. The frequency of the system clock is the value returned by SysCtlClockGet(), or it can be explicitly hard coded if it is constant and known (to save the code/execution overhead of a call to SysCtlClockGet()).

For Tiva parts that have the ability to specify the UART baud clock source (via UARTClockSourceSet()), the peripheral clock can be changed to PIOSC. In this case, the peripheral clock should be specified as 16,000,000 (the nominal rate of PIOSC).

Returns

None.

void UARTConfigSetExpClk	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32UARTClk,
		uint32_t	ui32Baud,
		uint32_t	ui32Config
	)

Sets the configuration of a UART.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32UARTClk	is the rate of the clock supplied to the UART module.
ui32Baud	is the desired baud rate.
ui32Config	is the data format for the port (number of data bits, number of stop bits, and parity).

This function configures the UART for operation in the specified data format. The baud rate is provided in the ui32Baud parameter and the data format in the ui32Config parameter.

The ui32Config parameter is the logical OR of three values: the number of data bits, the number of stop bits, and the parity. UART_CONFIG_WLEN_8, UART_CONFIG_WLEN_7, UART_CONFIG_WLEN_6, and UART_CONFIG_WLEN_5 select from eight to five data bits per byte (respectively). UART_CONFIG_STOP_ONE and UART_CONFIG_STOP_TWO select one or two stop bits (respectively). UART_CONFIG_PAR_NONE, UART_CONFIG_PAR_EVEN, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ODD, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ONE, and UART_CONFIG_PAR_ZERO select the parity mode (no parity bit, even parity bit, odd parity bit, parity bit always one, and parity bit always zero, respectively).

The peripheral clock is the same as the processor clock. The frequency of the system clock is the value returned by SysCtlClockGet(), or it can be explicitly hard coded if it is constant and known (to save the code/execution overhead of a call to SysCtlClockGet()).

For Tiva parts that have the ability to specify the UART baud clock source (via UARTClockSourceSet()), the peripheral clock can be changed to PIOSC. In this case, the peripheral clock should be specified as 16,000,000 (the nominal rate of PIOSC).

Returns

None.

void UARTDisable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Disables transmitting and receiving.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function disables the UART, waits for the end of transmission of the current character, and flushes the transmit FIFO.

Returns

None.

void UARTDisableSIR

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Disables SIR (IrDA) mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function disables SIR(IrDA) mode on the UART. This function only has an effect if the UART has not been enabled by a call to UARTEnable(). The call UARTEnableSIR() must be made before a call to UARTConfigSetExpClk() because the UARTConfigSetExpClk() function calls the UARTEnable() function. Another option is to call UARTDisable() followed by UARTEnableSIR() and then enable the UART by calling UARTEnable().

Note

The availability of SIR (IrDA) operation varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTDMADisable	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32DMAFlags
	)

Disable UART DMA operation.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32DMAFlags	is a bit mask of the DMA features to disable.

This function is used to disable UART DMA features that were enabled by UARTDMAEnable(). The specified UART DMA features are disabled. The ui32DMAFlags parameter is the logical OR of any of the following values:

• UART_DMA_RX - disable DMA for receive
• UART_DMA_TX - disable DMA for transmit
• UART_DMA_ERR_RXSTOP - do not disable DMA receive on UART error

Returns

None.

void UARTDMAEnable	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32DMAFlags
	)

Enable UART DMA operation.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32DMAFlags	is a bit mask of the DMA features to enable.

The specified UART DMA features are enabled. The UART can be configured to use DMA for transmit or receive and to disable receive if an error occurs. The ui32DMAFlags parameter is the logical OR of any of the following values:

• UART_DMA_RX - enable DMA for receive
• UART_DMA_TX - enable DMA for transmit
• UART_DMA_ERR_RXSTOP - disable DMA receive on UART error

Note

The uDMA controller must also be set up before DMA can be used with the UART.

Returns

None.

void UARTEnable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Enables transmitting and receiving.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function enables the UART and its transmit and receive FIFOs.

Returns

None.

void UARTEnableSIR	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		bool	bLowPower
	)

Enables SIR (IrDA) mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
bLowPower	indicates if SIR Low Power Mode is to be used.

This function enables SIR (IrDA) mode on the UART. If the bLowPower flag is set, then SIR low power mode will be selected as well. This function only has an effect if the UART has not been enabled by a call to UARTEnable(). The call UARTEnableSIR() must be made before a call to UARTConfigSetExpClk() because the UARTConfigSetExpClk() function calls the UARTEnable() function. Another option is to call UARTDisable() followed by UARTEnableSIR() and then enable the UART by calling UARTEnable().

Note

The availability of SIR (IrDA) operation varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

This function gets the FIFO level at which transmit and receive interrupts are generated.

Returns

None.

void UARTFIFOLevelSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32TxLevel,
		uint32_t	ui32RxLevel
	)

uint32_t UARTFlowControlGet

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Returns the UART hardware flow control mode currently in use.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns the current hardware flow control mode.

Note

The availability of hardware flow control varies with the Tiva part and UART in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

Returns the current flow control mode in use. This value is a logical OR combination of values UART_FLOWCONTROL_TX if transmit (CTS) flow control is enabled and UART_FLOWCONTROL_RX if receive (RTS) flow control is in use. If hardware flow control is disabled, UART_FLOWCONTROL_NONE is returned.

void UARTFlowControlSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32Mode
	)

Sets the UART hardware flow control mode to be used.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32Mode	indicates the flow control modes to be used. This parameter is a logical OR combination of values UART_FLOWCONTROL_TX and UART_FLOWCONTROL_RX to enable hardware transmit (CTS) and receive (RTS) flow control or UART_FLOWCONTROL_NONE to disable hardware flow control.

This function configures the required hardware flow control modes. If ui32Mode contains flag UART_FLOWCONTROL_TX, data is only transmitted if the incoming CTS signal is asserted. If ui32Mode contains flag UART_FLOWCONTROL_RX, the RTS output is controlled by the hardware and is asserted only when there is space available in the receive FIFO. If no hardware flow control is required, UART_FLOWCONTROL_NONE should be passed.

Note

The availability of hardware flow control varies with the Tiva part and UART in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTIntClear	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32IntFlags
	)

Clears UART interrupt sources.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32IntFlags	is a bit mask of the interrupt sources to be cleared.

The specified UART interrupt sources are cleared, so that they no longer assert. This function must be called in the interrupt handler to keep the interrupt from being triggered again immediately upon exit.

The ui32IntFlags parameter has the same definition as the ui32IntFlags parameter to UARTIntEnable().

Note

Because there is a write buffer in the Cortex-M processor, it may take several clock cycles before the interrupt source is actually cleared. Therefore, it is recommended that the interrupt source be cleared early in the interrupt handler (as opposed to the very last action) to avoid returning from the interrupt handler before the interrupt source is actually cleared. Failure to do so may result in the interrupt handler being immediately reentered (because the interrupt controller still sees the interrupt source asserted).

Returns

None.

void UARTIntDisable	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32IntFlags
	)

Disables individual UART interrupt sources.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.

This function disables the indicated UART interrupt sources. Only the sources that are enabled can be reflected to the processor interrupt; disabled sources have no effect on the processor.

The ui32IntFlags parameter has the same definition as the ui32IntFlags parameter to UARTIntEnable().

Returns

None.

void UARTIntEnable	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32IntFlags
	)

Enables individual UART interrupt sources.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32IntFlags	is the bit mask of the interrupt sources to be enabled.

• UART_INT_9BIT - 9-bit Address Match interrupt
• UART_INT_OE - Overrun Error interrupt
• UART_INT_BE - Break Error interrupt
• UART_INT_PE - Parity Error interrupt

	)

Registers an interrupt handler for a UART interrupt.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
pfnHandler	is a pointer to the function to be called when the UART interrupt occurs.

This function does the actual registering of the interrupt handler. This function enables the global interrupt in the interrupt controller; specific UART interrupts must be enabled via UARTIntEnable(). It is the interrupt handler's responsibility to clear the interrupt source.

void UARTIntUnregister

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Unregisters an interrupt handler for a UART interrupt.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function does the actual unregistering of the interrupt handler. It clears the handler to be called when a UART interrupt occurs. This function also masks off the interrupt in the interrupt controller so that the interrupt handler no longer is called.

See also

IntRegister() for important information about registering interrupt handlers.

Returns

None.

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function gets the type of parity used for transmitting data and expected when receiving data.

Returns

Returns the current parity settings, specified as one of UART_CONFIG_PAR_NONE, UART_CONFIG_PAR_EVEN, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ODD, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ONE, or UART_CONFIG_PAR_ZERO.

void UARTParityModeSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32Parity
	)

Sets the type of parity.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32Parity	specifies the type of parity to use.

This function configures the type of parity to use for transmitting and expect when receiving. The ui32Parity parameter must be one of UART_CONFIG_PAR_NONE, UART_CONFIG_PAR_EVEN, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ODD, UART_CONFIG_PAR_ONE, or UART_CONFIG_PAR_ZERO. The last two parameters allow direct control of the parity bit; it is always either one or zero based on the mode.

Returns

None.

void UARTRxErrorClear

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Clears all reported receiver errors.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function is used to clear all receiver error conditions reported via UARTRxErrorGet(). If using the overrun, framing error, parity error or break interrupts, this function must be called after clearing the interrupt to ensure that later errors of the same type trigger another interrupt.

Returns

None.

uint32_t UARTRxErrorGet

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Gets current receiver errors.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns the current state of each of the 4 receiver error sources. The returned errors are equivalent to the four error bits returned via the previous call to UARTCharGet() or UARTCharGetNonBlocking() with the exception that the overrun error is set immediately when the overrun occurs rather than when a character is next read.

Returns

Returns a logical OR combination of the receiver error flags, UART_RXERROR_FRAMING, UART_RXERROR_PARITY, UART_RXERROR_BREAK and UART_RXERROR_OVERRUN.

void UARTSmartCardDisable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Disables ISO7816 smart card mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function clears the SMART (ISO7816 smart card) bit in the UART control register.

Note

The availability of ISO7816 smart card mode varies with the Tiva part and UART in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

void UARTSmartCardEnable

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Enables ISO7816 smart card mode on the specified UART.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function enables the SMART control bit for the ISO7816 smart card mode on the UART. This call also sets 8-bit word length and even parity as required by ISO7816.

Note

The availability of ISO7816 smart card mode varies with the Tiva part and UART in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.

bool UARTSpaceAvail

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Determines if there is any space in the transmit FIFO.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns a flag indicating whether or not there is space available in the transmit FIFO.

Returns

Returns true if there is space available in the transmit FIFO or false if there is no space available in the transmit FIFO.

uint32_t UARTTxIntModeGet

(

uint32_t

ui32Base

)

Returns the current operating mode for the UART transmit interrupt.

Parameters

ui32Base

is the base address of the UART port.

This function returns the current operating mode for the UART transmit interrupt. The return value is UART_TXINT_MODE_EOT if the transmit interrupt is currently configured to be asserted once the transmitter is completely idle - the transmit FIFO is empty and all bits, including any stop bits, have cleared the transmitter. The return value is UART_TXINT_MODE_FIFO if the interrupt is configured to be asserted based on the level of the transmit FIFO.

Note

The availability of end-of-transmission mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

Returns UART_TXINT_MODE_FIFO or UART_TXINT_MODE_EOT.

void UARTTxIntModeSet	(	uint32_t	ui32Base,
		uint32_t	ui32Mode
	)

Sets the operating mode for the UART transmit interrupt.

Parameters

ui32Base	is the base address of the UART port.
ui32Mode	is the operating mode for the transmit interrupt. It may be UART_TXINT_MODE_EOT to trigger interrupts when the transmitter is idle or UART_TXINT_MODE_FIFO to trigger based on the current transmit FIFO level.

This function allows the mode of the UART transmit interrupt to be set. By default, the transmit interrupt is asserted when the FIFO level falls past a threshold set via a call to UARTFIFOLevelSet(). Alternatively, if this function is called with ui32Mode set to UART_TXINT_MODE_EOT, the transmit interrupt is asserted once the transmitter is completely idle - the transmit FIFO is empty and all bits, including any stop bits, have cleared the transmitter.

Note

The availability of end-of-transmission mode varies with the Tiva part in use. Please consult the datasheet for the part you are using to determine whether this support is available.

Returns

None.
