Motorola MCF5282 Uart Module Initialization Sequence, Uart DMA Requests, Register Setting

Operation

Although the UART receive buffer is quadruple-buffered, the receiver shift register is still shifting its characters when the DMA request is ready to read its contents; therefore, the maximum number of data bytes read during a UART DMA request transfer is three.

When the DMA is configured for cycle steal, only one character will be transferred on a DMA request. This mode should be used for DMA requests on FIFO not empty. DMA requests are negated when a data byte is read from the UART receive buffer.

The UART can be configured to request service from the DMA controller on a FIFO FULL of RxRDY condition. The steps needed to intialize DMA requests from the UART are listed below.

1.Mask appropriate bits in IMR (bits 13-15 for UART0-UART2 respectively)

2.Initialize DMAREQC to map UART DMA Request to a DMA channel

3.Initialize DMA request in UART, see Table 23-14

Table 23-14. UART DMA Requests

Register	Bit		Interrupt
UMR1x	6	RxIRQ.
		0	DMA request on RxRDY
		1	DMA request on FIFO full
UIMRx	1	RxFIFO full will enable DMA requests

Table 23-15shows the UART module initialization sequence.

		Table 23-15. UART Module Initialization Sequence
	Register	Setting
	UCRn	Reset the receiver and transmitter.
