◆ uart_event_type

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Types of events passed to callback in UART_ASYNC_API.

Receiving:

  1. To start receiving, uart_rx_enable has to be called with first buffer
  2. When receiving starts to current buffer, uart_event_type::UART_RX_BUF_REQUEST will be generated, in response to that user can either:
    • Provide second buffer using uart_rx_buf_rsp, when first buffer is filled, receiving will automatically start to second buffer.
    • Ignore the event, this way when current buffer is filled uart_event_type::UART_RX_RDY event will be generated and receiving will be stopped.
  3. If some data was received and timeout occurred uart_event_type::UART_RX_RDY event will be generated. It can happen multiples times for the same buffer. RX timeout is counted from last byte received i.e. if no data was received, there won't be any timeout event.
  4. After buffer is filled uart_event_type::UART_RX_RDY will be generated, immediately followed by uart_event_type::UART_RX_BUF_RELEASED indicating that current buffer is no longer used.
  5. If there was second buffer provided, it will become current buffer and we start again at point 2. If no second buffer was specified receiving is stopped and uart_event_type::UART_RX_DISABLED event is generated. After that whole process can be repeated.

Any time during reception uart_event_type::UART_RX_STOPPED event can occur. if there is any data received, uart_event_type::UART_RX_RDY event will be generated. It will be followed by uart_event_type::UART_RX_BUF_RELEASED event for every buffer currently passed to driver and finally by uart_event_type::UART_RX_DISABLED event.

Receiving can be disabled using uart_rx_disable, after calling that function, if there is any data received, uart_event_type::UART_RX_RDY event will be generated. uart_event_type::UART_RX_BUF_RELEASED event will be generated for every buffer currently passed to driver and finally uart_event_type::UART_RX_DISABLED event will occur.

Transmitting:

  1. Transmitting starts by uart_tx function.
  2. If whole buffer was transmitted uart_event_type::UART_TX_DONE is generated. If timeout occurred uart_event_type::UART_TX_ABORTED will be generated.

Transmitting can be aborted using uart_tx_abort, after calling that function uart_event_type::UART_TX_ABORTED event will be generated.

Enumerator
UART_TX_DONE 

Whole TX buffer was transmitted.

UART_TX_ABORTED 

Transmitting aborted due to timeout or uart_tx_abort call.

When flow control is enabled, there is a possibility that TX transfer won't finish in the allotted time. Some data may have been transferred, information about it can be found in event data.

UART_RX_RDY 

Received data is ready for processing.

This event is generated in the following cases:

  • When RX timeout occurred, and data was stored in provided buffer. This can happen multiple times in the same buffer.
  • When provided buffer is full.
  • After uart_rx_disable().
  • After stopping due to external event (uart_event_type::UART_RX_STOPPED).
UART_RX_BUF_REQUEST 

Driver requests next buffer for continuous reception.

This event is triggered when receiving has started for a new buffer, i.e. it's time to provide a next buffer for a seamless switchover to it. For continuous reliable receiving, user should provide another RX buffer in response to this event, using uart_rx_buf_rsp function

If uart_rx_buf_rsp is not called before current buffer is filled up, receiving will stop.

UART_RX_BUF_RELEASED 

Buffer is no longer used by UART driver.

UART_RX_DISABLED 

RX has been disabled and can be reenabled.

This event is generated whenever receiver has been stopped, disabled or finished its operation and can be enabled again using uart_rx_enable

UART_RX_STOPPED 

RX has stopped due to external event.

Reason is one of uart_rx_stop_reason.

◆ uart_line_ctrl

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Line control signals.

Enumerator
UART_LINE_CTRL_BAUD_RATE 
UART_LINE_CTRL_RTS 
UART_LINE_CTRL_DTR 
UART_LINE_CTRL_DCD 
UART_LINE_CTRL_DSR 

◆ uart_rx_stop_reason

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Reception stop reasons.

Values that correspond to events or errors responsible for stopping receiving.

Enumerator
UART_ERROR_OVERRUN 

Overrun error.

UART_ERROR_PARITY 

Parity error.

UART_ERROR_FRAMING 

Framing error.

UART_BREAK 

Break interrupt.

A break interrupt was received. This happens when the serial input is held at a logic '0' state for longer than the sum of start time + data bits + parity + stop bits.

UART_ERROR_COLLISION 

Collision error.

This error is raised when transmitted data does not match received data. Typically this is useful in scenarios where the TX and RX lines maybe connected together such as RS-485 half-duplex. This error is only valid on UARTs that support collision checking.

Send extra command to driver.

Implementation and accepted commands are driver specific. Refer to the drivers for more information.

◆ uart_fifo_fill()

static int uart_fifo_fill ( const struct device dev,
const uint8_t tx_data,
int  size 
)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Fill FIFO with data.

This function is expected to be called from UART interrupt handler (ISR), if uart_irq_tx_ready() returns true. Result of calling this function not from an ISR is undefined (hardware-dependent). Likewise, not calling this function from an ISR if uart_irq_tx_ready() returns true may lead to undefined behavior, e.g. infinite interrupt loops. It's mandatory to test return value of this function, as different hardware has different FIFO depth (oftentimes just 1).

Parameters
devUART device structure.
tx_dataData to transmit.
sizeNumber of bytes to send.
Returns
Number of bytes sent.

◆ uart_fifo_read()

static int uart_fifo_read ( const struct device dev,
uint8_t rx_data,
const int  size 
)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Read data from FIFO.

This function is expected to be called from UART interrupt handler (ISR), if uart_irq_rx_ready() returns true. Result of calling this function not from an ISR is undefined (hardware-dependent). It's unspecified whether "RX ready" condition as returned by uart_irq_rx_ready() is level- or edge- triggered. That means that once uart_irq_rx_ready() is detected, uart_fifo_read() must be called until it reads all available data in the FIFO (i.e. until it returns less data than was requested).

Note that the calling context only applies to physical UARTs and no to the virtual ones found in USB CDC ACM code.

Parameters
devUART device structure.
rx_dataData container.
sizeContainer size.
Returns
Number of bytes read.

◆ uart_irq_callback_set()

static void uart_irq_callback_set ( const struct device dev,
uart_irq_callback_user_data_t  cb

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Set the IRQ callback function pointer (legacy).

This sets up the callback for IRQ. When an IRQ is triggered, the specified function will be called with the device pointer.

static void uart_irq_callback_user_data_set ( const struct device dev,
uart_irq_callback_user_data_t  cb,
void user_data 
)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Set the IRQ callback function pointer.

This sets up the callback for IRQ. When an IRQ is triggered, the specified function will be called with specified user data. See description of uart_irq_update() for the requirements on ISR.

◆ uart_irq_rx_ready()

static int uart_irq_rx_ready ( const struct device dev)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Check if UART RX buffer has a received char.

Check if UART RX buffer has at least one pending character (i.e. uart_fifo_read() will succeed and return non-zero). This function must be called in a UART interrupt handler, or its result is undefined. Before calling this function in the interrupt handler, uart_irq_update() must be called once per the handler invocation. It's unspecified whether condition as returned by this function is level- or edge- triggered (i.e. if this function returns true when RX FIFO is non-empty, or when a new char was received since last call to it). See description of uart_fifo_read() for implication of this.

Parameters
devUART device structure.
Return values
1If a received char is ready.
0Otherwise.
-ENOTSUPif this function is not supported

◆ uart_irq_tx_complete()

static int uart_irq_tx_complete ( const struct device dev)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Check if UART TX block finished transmission.

Check if any outgoing data buffered in UART TX block was fully transmitted and TX block is idle. When this condition is true, UART device (or whole system) can be power off. Note that this function is not useful to check if UART TX can accept more data, use uart_irq_tx_ready() for that. This function must be called in a UART interrupt handler, or its result is undefined. Before calling this function in the interrupt handler, uart_irq_update() must be called once per the handler invocation.

Parameters
devUART device structure.
Return values
1If nothing remains to be transmitted.
0Otherwise.
-ENOTSUPif this function is not supported

◆ uart_irq_tx_disable()

void uart_irq_tx_disable ( const struct device dev)

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Disable TX interrupt in IER.

Parameters
devUART device structure.

◆ uart_irq_tx_ready()

static int uart_irq_tx_ready ( const struct device dev)
inlinestatic

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Check if UART TX buffer can accept a new char.

Check if UART TX buffer can accept at least one character for transmission (i.e. uart_fifo_fill() will succeed and return non-zero). This function must be called in a UART interrupt handler, or its result is undefined. Before calling this function in the interrupt handler, uart_irq_update() must be called once per the handler invocation.

Parameters
devUART device structure.
Return values
1If at least one char can be written to UART.
0Otherwise.

◆ uart_irq_update()

int uart_irq_update ( const struct device dev)

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Start processing interrupts in ISR.

This function should be called the first thing in the ISR. Calling uart_irq_rx_ready(), uart_irq_tx_ready(), uart_irq_tx_complete() allowed only after this.

The purpose of this function is:

  • For devices with auto-acknowledge of interrupt status on register read to cache the value of this register (rx_ready, etc. then use this case).
  • For devices with explicit acknowledgement of interrupts, to ack any pending interrupts and likewise to cache the original value.
  • For devices with implicit acknowledgement, this function will be empty. But the ISR must perform the actions needs to ack the interrupts (usually, call uart_fifo_read() on rx_ready, and uart_fifo_fill() on tx_ready).
Parameters
devUART device structure.
Return values
1Always.

◆ uart_line_ctrl_get()

void uart_poll_out ( const struct device dev,
unsigned char  out_char 
)

#include <include/drivers/uart.h>

Output a character in polled mode.

This routine checks if the transmitter is empty. When the transmitter is empty, it writes a character to the data register.

To send a character when hardware flow control is enabled, the handshake signal CTS must be asserted.
