RTOS/CC3220: Uart issue with declaring globally

Hello,

What do you mean it works on another TI chip? which one?

can you post a code snippet?

I have it working on a cc2640r2. it is setup, declared, and used same way in tirtos. so I know I can setup hart handler globally.

only difference in the code is on cc2640 I declare hart handler at top of .c file and on cc2538 I have to declare hart handler in task or it seems to not work and just hangs on uart read

any ideas? I've been going over code and nothing to me seems to stick out as to why Global declaration has issues

Hi,

All the SDK examples that uses the uart are using uart_term.c where the handle is globally defined.

Can you please clarify or share a code snippet?

            while(tip != 0x661c22 && atoi(&ip) != 0x661c22 ){
             lip = UART_read(uart_inlo, &ip,9);
             tip = atoi(&ip);

             ip = 0;
            }

  }

}

there is my code. If I declare the Uart handler Globally as the code is doing my uart read doesn't work and just stays hung on the read. If I declare in the process they work but I need them global
