TMS320F28027: Code Example for SCI receiving more than only 4 chars

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F28027, CONTROLSUITE

Hi colleagues,

Hope anyone can help me :)

I am able to send strings over TMS320F28027 SCI and to receive single chars. But I'm not able to receive more than only 1 char. I see that TMS320F28027 has a 4-level FIFO so it should be possible to receive at least strings with 4 chars, right? Has maybe anyone a code example for this?

Regards,

Patrick

  • check example code in controlSuite. Check the uart pdf for more info about reading from FIFO.

  • Hi Pat,

    The easiest way to implement this would be to receive characters in an array and then process it.

  • Hi guys,

    thanks for quick reply :)

    Yes, i tried that:

    - my code is based on a ControlSuite example

    - I'm working with the mentioned SCI documentation (PDF)

    - My plan is to use an array but always when I send more than only 1 char, SCI stopps working correctly (curious is, RXFFST remains always at 1)

    - I tried already with and without FIFO (then triggered by SciaRegs.SCIRXST.bit.RXRDY)

    Thanks,

    Patrick

  • Can you paste your receive (interrupt) logic?

    // DESCRIPTION:
    //
    //
    //    This test receives and echo-backs data through the SCI-A port.
    //
    //    1) Configure hyperterminal:
    //       Use the included hyperterminal configuration file SCI_96.ht.
    //       To load this configuration in hyperterminal: file->open
    //       and then select the SCI_96.ht file.
    //    2) Check the COM port.
    //       The configuration file is currently setup for COM1.
    //       If this is not correct, disconnect Call->Disconnect
    //       Open the File-Properties dialog and select the correct COM port.
    //    3) Connect hyperterminal Call->Call
    //       and then start the 2802x0 SCI echoback program execution.
    //    4) The program will print out a greeting and then ask you to
    //       enter a character which it will echo back to hyperterminal.
    //
    //
    //    Watch Variables:
    //       LoopCount for the number of characters sent
    //       ErrorCount

    Sure, I attached the last version I tried :)

    Curious is also, that a Parity Error (PE) is frequently reported. But this happens also on the original example.

  • Hi Patrick,

    Try the ControlSUITE example "Example_F2802xSci_FFDLB_int" that is the "SCI Digital Loop Back with Interrupts" plus has FIFO enabled.  This is a good example to eliminate any board connections and to make sure the FIFO is configured correctly.
