RTOS/EK-TM4C123GXL: Enabling custom UART in TM4C123GXL

Hi Vishnuprasad,

Maybe you can start with one of the BIOS examples and add your driverlib calls to it.  Is everything working in the non-BIOS environment?

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply,

With the imported energia code the system worked pretty fine.

Since enegia has better libaries and simple examples it was quite a simple task  to edit that all.

But in the bios environment I gone through the UART examples, but that all only deals with UART 0 only.

I only started working with CCS just 2months ago.

Without bios(ie. Non-rtos) I worked on some UARTS and. It all was fine. But when it come to  RTOS  I am not clear about where to start actually.  

I didnt get any right way to work on UARTs in the .cfg file.

Hi Vishnuprasad,

In TIRTOS, the peripherals are configured in a <board>.c file, e.g., in EK_TM4C123GXL.c.  If you import any of the TIRTOS examples, they will have this board file in the project.  You can add an entry to the uartTivaHWAttrs[] and UART_config[] tables.  The pins can be configured in EK_TM4C123GXL_initUART() (also in the board file).

You can also add the UART to the UARTName enum in the EK_TM4C123GXL.h file, and a "Board_UART1" define to Board.h.  I recommend looking at another peripheral in the <board> files that has multiple entries, such as SPI or PWM, to follow as an example.

Best regards,

Hi Vishnuprasad,

You should not need to make modifications to the .cfg file to configure or enable the UART.
