Function Documentation#

LEUART_BaudrateCalc#

uint32_t LEUART_BaudrateCalc (uint32_t refFreq, uint32_t clkdiv)

Calculate the baudrate for the LEUART given reference frequency and clock division.

Parameters
[in]refFreq

The LEUART peripheral frequency used.

[in]clkdiv

The clock division factor to be used.

This function returns the baudrate that a LEUART module will use if configured with the given frequency and clock divisor. Notice that this function will not use the hardware configuration. It can be used to determine if a given configuration is sufficiently accurate for the application.

Returns

  • A baudrate with given settings.


Definition at line 125 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_BaudrateGet#

uint32_t LEUART_BaudrateGet (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart)

Get the current baudrate for LEUART.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

This function returns the actual baudrate (not considering the oscillator inaccuracies) used by the LEUART peripheral.

Returns

  • The current baudrate.


Definition at line 202 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_BaudrateSet#

void LEUART_BaudrateSet (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, uint32_t refFreq, uint32_t baudrate)

Configure the baudrate (or as close as possible to a specified baudrate).

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]refFreq

The LEUART reference clock frequency in Hz that will be used. If set to 0, the currently configured reference clock is assumed.

[in]baudrate

A baudrate to try to achieve for LEUART.

Note

  • The baudrate setting requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If the same register is modified before a previous update has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.


Definition at line 246 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_Enable#

void LEUART_Enable (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, LEUART_Enable_TypeDef enable)

Enable/disable the LEUART receiver and/or transmitter.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]enable

Select status for receiver/transmitter.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration. Enabling should normally be done after the initialization is done (if not enabled as part of initialization).

Note

  • Enabling/disabling requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If the same register is modified before a previous update has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.


Definition at line 338 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_FreezeEnable#

void LEUART_FreezeEnable (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, bool enable)

LEUART register synchronization freeze control.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]enable
  • True - enable freeze, modified registers are not propagated to the LF domain

  • False - disables freeze, modified registers are propagated to the LF domain

Some LEUART registers require synchronization into the low-frequency (LF) domain. The freeze feature allows for several such registers to be modified before passing them to the LF domain simultaneously (which takes place when the freeze mode is disabled).

Note

  • When enabling freeze mode, this function will wait for all current ongoing LEUART synchronization to the LF domain to complete (Normally synchronization will not be in progress.) However, for this reason, when using freeze mode, modifications of registers requiring LF synchronization should be done within one freeze enable/disable block to avoid unnecessary stalling.


Definition at line 385 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_Init#

void LEUART_Init (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, LEUART_Init_TypeDef const * init)

Initialize LEUART.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]init

A pointer to the initialization structure used to configure basic async setup.

This function will configure basic settings to operate in normal asynchronous mode. Consider using LEUART_Reset() prior to this function if the state of configuration is not known, since only configuration settings specified by init are set.

Special control setup not covered by this function may be done either before or after using this function (but normally before enabling) by direct modification of the CTRL register.

Notice that pins used by the LEUART module must be properly configured by the user explicitly for the LEUART to work as intended. (When configuring pins consider the sequence of configuration to avoid unintended pulses/glitches on output pins.)

Note

  • Initializing requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. If the same register is modified before a previous update has completed, this function will stall until the previous synchronization has completed.


Definition at line 437 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_Reset#

void LEUART_Reset (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart)

Reset LEUART to the same state that it was in after a hardware reset.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.


Definition at line 475 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_Rx#

uint8_t LEUART_Rx (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart)

Receive one 8 bit frame, (or part of 9 bit frame).

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

This function is normally used to receive one frame when operating with frame length 8 bits. See LEUART_RxExt() for reception of 9 bit frames.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits are not considered a part of the specified frame bit length.

Note

  • This function will stall if the buffer is empty until data is received.

Returns

  • Data received.


Definition at line 525 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_RxExt#

uint16_t LEUART_RxExt (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart)

Receive one 8-9 bit frame with extended information.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

This function is normally used to receive one frame and additional RX status information is required.

Note

  • This function will stall if buffer is empty until data is received.

Returns

  • Data received.


Definition at line 550 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_Tx#

void LEUART_Tx (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, uint8_t data)

Transmit one frame.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]data

Data to transmit. See details above for more info.

Depending on the frame length configuration, 8 (least significant) bits from data are transmitted. If the frame length is 9, 8 bits are transmitted from data and one bit as specified by the CTRL register, BIT8DV field. See LEUART_TxExt() for transmitting 9 bit frame with full control of all 9 bits.

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered a part of the specified frame bit length.

Note

  • This function will stall if buffer is full until the buffer becomes available.


Definition at line 581 of file platform/emlib/src/em_leuart.c

LEUART_TxExt#

void LEUART_TxExt (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart, uint16_t data)

Transmit one 8-9 bit frame with extended control.

Parameters
[in]leuart

A pointer to the LEUART peripheral register block.

[in]data

Data to transmit with extended control. Least significant bit contains frame bits and additional control bits are available as documented in the reference manual (set to 0 if not used).

Notice that possible parity/stop bits in asynchronous mode are not considered a part of the specified frame bit length.

Note

  • This function will stall if the buffer is full until the buffer becomes available.

Definition at line 271 of file platform/emlib/inc/em_leuart.h

LEUART_RxDataGet#

uint8_t LEUART_RxDataGet (LEUART_TypeDef * leuart)

Receive one 8 bit frame, (or part of a 9 bit frame).

Parameters
[in]leuart

Pointer to LEUART peripheral register block.

Used to quickly receive one 8 bit frame by reading RXDATA register directly, without checking STATUS register for RXDATAV flag. This can be useful from RXDATAV interrupt handler, i.e., waiting is superfluous, in order to quickly read received data. Please refer to LEUART_RxDataXGet() for reception of 9 bit frames.

Note

  • Since this function does not check if the RXDATA register actually holds valid data, it should only be used in situations when it is certain that there is valid data, ensured by some external program routine, e.g., when handling an RXDATAV interrupt. The LEUART_Rx() is normally a better choice if the validity of the RXDATA register is not certain.

  • Notice that possible parity/stop bits are not considered part of specified frame bit length.

Returns

  • Data received.
