UART unable to receive full transmitted string LM3S5632

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3S5632, LM3S8962, EK-LM3S8962

Hi ,

I am working on a project in which i had interfaced GSM module with LM3S5632 board through UART. I am using another PC which is acting like a server  and another is as client (CortexM3 + GSM ).

Using above setup i am sending a string of 20 characters ,but receiver is unable to receive full 20 character.

Later i tried to check whether UART is working properly or not ,i took 2 LM3S5632 based board & treated one as transmitter & another one as receiver & then tried various combinations of string ,but again i found receiver board is unable to receive the full string .

Please find below the UART testing results.

Also Please find the attached zip file for UART testing code.

Kindly help me out.[

  • Hi, for some reason I can't unzip your code but as you are only getting 16 characters received and the UART has a hardware 16 byte buffer, I suspect you are not servicing the uart fast enough (or letting the interrupt fill a buffer for you). Hope this helps. Richard

  • Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Kindly advice ,if i can increase the buffer size to transmit & receive more than 16 bytes.

    Also please find attached code for transmit & receive.

    Please have a look & let me know the mistakes

  • Uptal,

    Yes, the buffer size is also important - you did not posted any info about, but of coarse should be bigger than 20 bytes. 

    Also, you modified a lot the routines provided, maybe it will be useful to explain why you tried to hunt the 0x3A - if this is a kind of starting mark of a message, then the routines may need to be modified a lot (this was in .rar archive..).

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Can you please share the procedure to increase the buffer size ?

    Also share sample code to implement same ,if you have any.

  • Hi,

    The buffer size is specified in uartstdio.h file, but it is taken into account if there is a predefined symbol UART_BUFFERED - this can be done by adding this symbol at the compiler settings -> predefined symbols (I do not have a CCS open to tell you precisely path to this, but is the same place where you defined DEBUG).

    As for hunting 0x3A - you did not answer affirmative to this ...

    Also you played a lot with disabling UART interrupts, avoid this, can cause problems.

    Petrei

  • Hi pat,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I had increased the buffere size in uartstdio.h .also i had changed the compiler settings accodingly for kiel IDE.

    PF attached details. 6114.uartstdio.h

  • Hi,

    Also for 0x3A  is hex value of colon : i am saving the characters after : (colon) 

  • Hi,

    What are the results of increasing buffers size? Still with problems or you can receive more than 16 characters?

    I understand  you need to hunt the 0x3A character - unfortunately I have no code example  based on uartstdio.c file - I made my own, (for my application, which is not GSM). 

    You may google search for similar code made by others for GSM modules - the arduino is the most appropriate for that or make your own routine to hunt that character.

    One possible solution is to use a two steps approach: 

    a) step 1: receive a character and check it for ":". If equal, switch to step 2, otherwise get out of interrupts routine;

    b) step2: receive a character and if it is not the end of message, save it in a buffer and increase the buffer index for the next location. If it is the end of message (take care - could be two characters, CR and LF), then mark the end of received string with 0x0, flag for a valid message, to be processed further, and switch to step 1. 

    You may disable UART FIFO with this approach  - nothing is lost while the interrupt routine is small. If you adopt this approach, take care - your Stellarisware version is very old one, so enabling UART enables also the FIFO, so you need to disable the FIFO after enabling the UART.  See/check the file driverlib/uart.c

    Of coarse, you may try other approaches, depends on the requirements of your module.

  • hi ,

    no ,irrespective of increasing buffer size ,i am unable to receive more characters. 

    i found one unique thing , i am able to receive 17 values maximum                       utpal12345abcdefg . irrespective of the buffer size i.e any size greater than 17  able to receive 17 characters maximum.

    So kindly advice. & parallely i will try your suggestions to test using your solutions.

  • Hi Uptal, the best way to implement the uart is to have the interrupt service unload the UART RX data into a fifo buffer. Then your main loop code can deal with unloading and parsing the fifo without interferring with the UART at all. You can do the TX in a similar fashion. Unfortunately I can't send you my code as I am bound by company directives not to disclose code. I would definitely update to the latest Stellarisware and study the examples in there. Good Luck. Richard.

  • Hi,

    I had tested the UART echo code on LM3S8962 evm using CCSv5.2.

    I am able to send the string ,but the string i am receiving 

    UART is showing random behavior.

     Random numbers of characters are accepted by UART, every time they repeat the same test.

    For eg: Sometimes they receive 16 characters, sometimes 18, sometimes and 30, while some other times 36 characters.

    I am pasting the .c file for your reference.

    Kindly suggest me the changes.
