CCS/MSP432P401R: UART receive/transmit

Hi Kristopher,

Yes it is possible. We recommend that you consult the many resources at dev.ti.com, including SDK user’s guides, libraries, utilities, software examples and SimpleLink Academy training modules.

Here are demo projects using the MSP432 and the BOOSTXL-EDUMKII: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=APxIJQJwn4jim9wefowLvw__z-lQYNj__LATEST

Thank you for your time and consideration.

BR,

Thank you. I can't find any example using an image to be displayed, I've only found examples using text, or lines.

What trouble are you having?

There probably is no cookbook answer to this, you will have to roll your own.

Since the MSP432P401R does not filter out binary data, it is probably safe to send the bytes as is. i.e., you probably don't need uuencode.

So, send a command to the MSP432P401R to put it in a "receive graphics state" and let the rx interrupt store all the data in a buffer and then signal when the buffer is full

Interesting. What command would put it in a "receive graphics state"?

After the MSP432P401R receives the data in the rxbuffer, it seems like I would use:

void Graphics_drawImage ( const Graphics_Context * context,
const Graphics_Image * bitmap,
int16_t x,
int16_t y
)

or?

void Graphics_drawMultiplePixelsOnDisplay ( const Graphics_Display * display,
uint16_t x,
uint16_t y,
uint16_t x0,
uint16_t count,
uint16_t bPP,
const uint8_t * data,
const uint32_t * palette
)

The rxbuffer wouldn't be able to hold all of the data a once, a 128x128 array (bitmap image), right? How would I point the rxbuffer data in the _drawMultiplePixelsOnDisplay function? And I can't find much info about the pallete

Whatever command you want. I usually use a simple command parser, so I might send the string "bitmap" and then set a flag to know that the next xxx bytes go into the graphics buffer.

Again, you have to roll your own.
