3.2.2 Serial Communication

The following sample programs are found in the SAMPLES\RCM4000\SERIAL folder.

•FLOWCONTROL.C—This program demonstrates how to configure Serial Port D for CTS/RTS with serial data coming from Serial Port C (TxC) at 115,200 bps. The serial data received are displayed in the STDIO window.

To set up the Prototyping Board, you will need to tie TxD and RxD together on the RS-232 header at J4, and you will also tie TxC and RxC together using the jumpers supplied in the Development Kit as shown in the diagram.

RxC TxC

J4

TxD RxD GND

A repeating triangular pattern should print out in the STDIO window.

The program will periodically switch flow control on or off to demonstrate the effect of no flow control.

If you have two Prototyping Boards with modules, run this sample program on the sending board, then disconnect the programming cable and reset the sending board so that the module is operating in the Run mode. Connect TxC, TxD, and GND on the sending board to RxC, RxD, and GND on the other board, then, with the programming cable attached to the other module, run the sample program.

•PARITY.C—This program demonstrates the use of parity modes by repeatedly sending byte values 0–127 from Serial Port C to Serial Port D. The program will switch between generating parity or not on Serial Port C. Serial Port D will always be checking parity, so parity errors should occur during every other sequence.

RxCTxC

J4

TxDRxD GND

To set up the Prototyping Board, you will need to tie TxC and RxD together on the RS-232 header at J4 using one of the jumpers supplied in the Development Kit as shown in the diagram.

The Dynamic C STDIO window will display the error sequence.

•SIMPLE3WIRE.C—This program demonstrates basic RS-232 serial communication. Lower case characters are sent by TxC, and are received by RxD. The characters are converted to upper case and are sent out by TxD, are received by RxC, and are displayed in the Dynamic C STDIO window.

RxC TxC

J4

TxD RxD GND

To set up the Prototyping Board, you will need to tie TxD and RxC together on the RS-232 header at J4, and you will also tie RxD and TxC together using the jumpers supplied in the Development Kit as shown in the diagram.
