Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
I am using CCS 7.0.0 and Ti V6.2.9 compiler. in the following code, statement "while (ReceivedChar == 0) ;" causes the program always stays here and cannot continue even when ReceivedChar got a non-zero value from serial port interrupt, when I pause the program, in expression watch window, I can see that variable "Receivedchar" has a non-zero value which matches the value of the character received from serial port, but the program cannot skip out this while loop. if I changed this while statement to "if (Receivedchar !=0)", program works fine. I do not know why, thanks for help
for(;;)
{
// Wait for inc character
while (ReceivedChar == 0);
// Get character
//ReceivedChar = SciaRegs.SCIRXBUF.all;
{
// Echo character back
msg = " You sent: \0";
scia_msg(msg);
scia_xmit(ReceivedChar);
ReceivedChar = 0;
msg = "\r\nEnter a character: \0";
scia_msg(msg);
}
LoopCount++;
}
