Prerequisites

To use the USART you need to have a GCLK generator enabled and running that can be used as the SERCOM clock source. This can either be configured in conf_clocks.h or by using the system clock driver.

Module Overview

This driver will use one (or more) SERCOM interface(s) in the system and configure it to run as a USART interface in either synchronous or asynchronous mode.

Frame Format

Communication is based on frames, where the frame format can be customized to accommodate a wide range of standards. A frame consists of a start bit, a number of data bits, an optional parity bit for error detection as well as a configurable length stop bit(s) - see the figure below. The table below shows the available parameters you can change in a frame.

USART Frame Parameters
Parameter	Options
Start bit	1
Data bits	5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Parity bit	None, Even, Odd
Stop bits	1, 2

USART Frame Overview

Synchronous Mode

In synchronous mode a dedicated clock line is provided; either by the USART itself if in master mode, or by an external master if in slave mode. Maximum transmission speed is the same as the GCLK clocking the USART peripheral when in slave mode, and the GCLK divided by two if in master mode. In synchronous mode the interface needs three lines to communicate:

TX (Transmit pin)
RX (Receive pin)
XCK (Clock pin)

Data Sampling

In synchronous mode the data is sampled on either the rising or falling edge of the clock signal. This is configured by setting the clock polarity in the configuration struct.

Asynchronous Mode

In asynchronous mode no dedicated clock line is used, and the communication is based on matching the clock speed on the transmitter and receiver. The clock is generated from the internal SERCOM baudrate generator, and the frames are synchronized by using the frame start bits. Maximum transmission speed is limited to the SERCOM GCLK divided by 16. In asynchronous mode the interface only needs two lines to communicate:

TX (Transmit pin)
RX (Receive pin)

Transmitter/receiver Clock Matching

For successful transmit and receive using the asynchronous mode the receiver and transmitter clocks needs to be closely matched. When receiving a frame that does not match the selected baudrate closely enough the receiver will be unable to synchronize the frame(s), and garbage transmissions will result.

Parity

Parity can be enabled to detect if a transmission was in error. This is done by counting the number of "1" bits in the frame. When using even parity the parity bit will be set if the total number of "1"s in the frame are an even number. If using odd parity the parity bit will be set if the total number of "1"s are odd.

When receiving a character the receiver will count the number of "1"s in the frame and give an error if the received frame and parity bit disagree.

GPIO Configuration

The SERCOM module has four internal pads; the RX pin can be placed freely on any one of the four pads, and the TX and XCK pins have two predefined positions that can be selected as a pair. The pads can then be routed to an external GPIO pin using the normal pin multiplexing scheme on the SAM.

Special Considerations

Never execute large portions of code in the callbacks. These are run from the interrupt routine, and thus having long callbacks will keep the processor in the interrupt handler for an equally long time. A common way to handle this is to use global flags signaling the main application that an interrupt event has happened, and only do the minimal needed processing in the callback.

static bool usart_is_syncing ( const struct usart_module *const module )

inlinestatic

Check if peripheral is busy syncing registers across clock domains.

Return peripheral synchronization status. If doing a non-blocking implementation this function can be used to check the sync state and hold of any new actions until sync is complete. If this function is not run; the functions will block until the sync has completed.

Parameters

[in] module Pointer to peripheral module

Returns: Peripheral sync status.

Return values

true	Peripheral is busy syncing
false	Peripheral is not busy syncing and can be read/written without stalling the bus

References Assert.

static enum status_code usart_lock ( struct usart_module *const module )

inlinestatic

Attempt to get lock on driver instance.

This function checks the instance's lock, which indicates whether or not it is currently in use, and sets the lock if it was not already set.

The purpose of this is to enable exclusive access to driver instances, so that, e.g., transactions by different services will not interfere with each other.

Parameters

[in,out] module Pointer to the driver instance to lock

Return values

STATUS_OK	If the module was locked
STATUS_BUSY	If the module was already locked

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[out]	rx_data	Pointer to data buffer to receive
[in]	length	Data buffer length

Note: If using 9-bit data, the array that rx_data point to should be defined as uint16_t array and should be casted to uint8_t pointer. Because it is an address pointer, the highest byte is not discarded. For example:
#define RX_LEN 3

uint16_t rx_buf[RX_LEN] = {0x0,};

usart_read_buffer_job(&module, (uint8_t*)rx_buf, RX_LEN);

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If operation was completed
STATUS_BUSY	If operation was not completed, due to the USART module being busy

	)

Receive a buffer of length characters via the USART.

This blocking function will receive a block of length characters via the USART.

Note: Using this function in combination with the interrupt (*_job) functions is not recommended as it has no functionality to check if there is an ongoing interrupt driven operation running or not.

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[out]	rx_data	Pointer to receive buffer
[in]	length	Number of characters to receive

Note: If using 9-bit data, the array that rx_data point to should be defined as uint16_t array and should be casted to uint8_t pointer. Because it is an address pointer, the highest byte is not discarded. For example:

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If operation was completed
STATUS_ERR_INVALID_ARG	If operation was not completed, due to an invalid argument being supplied
STATUS_ERR_TIMEOUT	If operation was not completed, due to USART module timing out

[out]	rx_data	Pointer to received data

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If the operation was completed
STATUS_BUSY	If the operation was not completed, due to the USART module being busy
STATUS_ERR_BAD_FORMAT	If the operation was not completed, due to configuration mismatch between USART and the sender
STATUS_ERR_BAD_OVERFLOW	If the operation was not completed, due to the baudrate being too low or the system frequency being too high
STATUS_ERR_BAD_DATA	If the operation was not completed, due to data being corrupted
STATUS_ERR_DENIED	If the receiver is not enabled

void usart_register_callback	(	struct usart_module *const	module,
		usart_callback_t	callback_func,
		enum usart_callback	callback_type
	)

Registers a callback.

Registers a callback function, which is implemented by the user.

Note: The callback must be enabled by usart_enable_callback in order for the interrupt handler to call it when the conditions for the callback type are met.

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[in]	callback_func	Pointer to callback function
[in]	callback_type	Callback type given by an enum

References Assert.

static void usart_reset ( const struct usart_module *const module )

inlinestatic

Resets the USART module.

Disables and resets the USART module.

Parameters

[in] module Pointer to the USART software instance struct

References Assert, and usart_disable().

static void usart_unlock ( struct usart_module *const module )

inlinestatic

Unlock driver instance.

This function clears the instance lock, indicating that it is available for use.

Parameters

[in,out] module Pointer to the driver instance to lock

void usart_unregister_callback	(	struct usart_module *const	module,
		enum usart_callback	callback_type
	)

Unregisters a callback.

Unregisters a callback function, which is implemented by the user.

Parameters

[in,out]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[in]	callback_type	Callback type given by an enum

References Assert.

enum status_code usart_write_buffer_job	(	struct usart_module *const	module,
		uint8_t *	tx_data,
		uint16_t	length
	)

Asynchronous buffer write.

Sets up the driver to write a given buffer over the USART. If registered and enabled, a callback function will be called.

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[in]	tx_data	Pointer do data buffer to transmit
[in]	length	Length of the data to transmit

Note: If using 9-bit data, the array that tx_data point to should be defined as uint16_t array and should be casted to uint8_t pointer. Because it is an address pointer, the highest byte is not discarded. For example:
#define TX_LEN 3

uint16_t tx_buf[TX_LEN] = {0x0111, 0x0022, 0x0133};

usart_write_buffer_job(&module, (uint8_t*)tx_buf, TX_LEN);

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If operation was completed successfully.
STATUS_BUSY	If operation was not completed, due to the USART module being busy
STATUS_ERR_INVALID_ARG	If operation was not completed, due to invalid arguments
STATUS_ERR_DENIED	If the transmitter is not enabled

enum status_code usart_write_buffer_wait	(	struct usart_module *const	module,
		const uint8_t *	tx_data,
		uint16_t	length
	)

Transmit a buffer of characters via the USART.

This blocking function will transmit a block of length characters via the USART.

Note: Using this function in combination with the interrupt (_job) functions is not recommended as it has no functionality to check if there is an ongoing interrupt driven operation running or not.

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[in]	tx_data	Pointer to data to transmit
[in]	length	Number of characters to transmit

Note: If using 9-bit data, the array that tx_data point to should be defined as uint16_t array and should be casted to uint8_t pointer. Because it is an address pointer, the highest byte is not discarded. For example:
#define TX_LEN 3

uint16_t tx_buf[TX_LEN] = {0x0111, 0x0022, 0x0133};

usart_write_buffer_wait(&module, (uint8_t*)tx_buf, TX_LEN);

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If operation was completed
STATUS_ERR_INVALID_ARG	If operation was not completed, due to invalid arguments
STATUS_ERR_TIMEOUT	If operation was not completed, due to USART module timing out
STATUS_ERR_DENIED	If the transmitter is not enabled

enum status_code usart_write_job	(	struct usart_module *const	module,
		const uint16_t *	tx_data
	)

Asynchronous write a single char.

Sets up the driver to write the data given. If registered and enabled, a callback function will be called when the transmit is completed.

Parameters

[in]	module	Pointer to USART software instance struct
[in]	tx_data	Data to transfer

Returns: Status of the operation.

Return values

STATUS_OK	If operation was completed
STATUS_BUSY	If operation was not completed, due to the USART module being busy
STATUS_ERR_DENIED	If the transmitter is not enabled
