USART receive character and echo back

In this use case, the USART module is configured for:

The use case waits for a received character on the configured USART and echoes the character back to the same USART.

Setup steps

Prerequisites

  1. System Clock Management (sysclock)
  2. Common IOPORT API (ioport)

Example code

The following configuration must be added to the project (typically to a conf_usart.h file, but it can also be added to your main application file.):

#define USART_SERIAL USART0
#define USART_SERIAL_ID ID_USART0 //USART0 for sam4l
#define USART_SERIAL_BAUDRATE 9600
#define USART_SERIAL_CHAR_LENGTH US_MR_CHRL_8_BIT
#define USART_SERIAL_PARITY US_MR_PAR_NO
#define USART_SERIAL_STOP_BIT US_MR_NBSTOP_1_BIT

A variable for the received byte must be added:

uint32_t received_byte;

Add to application initialization:

const sam_usart_opt_t usart_console_settings = {
USART_SERIAL_BAUDRATE,
USART_SERIAL_CHAR_LENGTH,
USART_SERIAL_PARITY,
USART_SERIAL_STOP_BIT,
US_MR_CHMODE_NORMAL
};
#if SAM4L
#else
#endif
usart_init_rs232(USART_SERIAL, &usart_console_settings,
usart_enable_tx(USART_SERIAL);
usart_enable_rx(USART_SERIAL);

Workflow

  1. Initialize system clock:
  2. Configure the USART Tx and Rx pins by call the board init function:
    Note
    Set the following define in conf_board.h file to enable COM port,it will be used in board_init() function to set up IOPorts for the USART pins. For SAM4L:
    #define CONF_BOARD_COM_PORT
    For other SAM devices:
    #define CONF_BOARD_UART_CONSOLE
  3. Create USART options struct:
    const sam_usart_opt_t usart_console_settings = {
    USART_SERIAL_BAUDRATE,
    USART_SERIAL_CHAR_LENGTH,
    USART_SERIAL_PARITY,
    USART_SERIAL_STOP_BIT,
    US_MR_CHMODE_NORMAL
    };
  4. Enable the clock to the USART module:
    #if SAM4L
    #else
    #endif
  5. Initialize the USART module in RS232 mode:
    usart_init_rs232(USART_SERIAL, &usart_console_settings,
  6. Enable the Rx and Tx modes of the USART module:
    usart_enable_tx(USART_SERIAL);
    usart_enable_rx(USART_SERIAL);

Usage steps

Example code

Add to, e.g., main loop in application C-file:

received_byte = usart_getchar(USART_SERIAL);
usart_putchar(USART_SERIAL, received_byte);

Workflow

  1. Wait for reception of a character:
    usart_getchar(USART_SERIAL, &received_byte);
  2. Echo the character back:
    usart_putchar(USART_SERIAL, received_byte);
