CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1312R1: Sysconfig Drivers

Hi Jan

It seems like UART2 is a newer version of the UART driver with some improvements. The UART driver is still there to not break backwards compability. If you are working on a new project, i recommend using UART2.

Hi,

where can i find some documentation about the new UART2-driver and the improvements? It would be nice to get some more information about the difference between the drivers than 'it is a newer version'.

The header-file for the UART2-driver says :

WARNING These APIs are PRELIMINARY, and subject to change in the next few months.

Why should i use a driver with a preliminary API in a new project?

Regards

Jan

Hi.

I see. I thought it was released. Until it is released, use the UART driver. Currently the only documentation is the documentation in the UART2.h file.

• What is the plan for releasing the UART2 drivers?
• Why are preliminary drivers included in Sysconfig?
• The UART-Drivers for CC13xx misses the write_poliing function. Why?

Hi Jan

The UART2 will be released in its final form in 2020Q1. 

For the UART_WritePolling, where is it missing from? I can see it in the normal UART documentation.

Hi Vegard,

in the UARTCC26X2_fxnTable it is mapped to UARTCC26X2_writePollingNotImpl.
