Mini UART

初始化 Mini UART

流程

Init

  1. Set AUXENB register to enable mini UART. Then mini UART register can be accessed.
  2. Set AUX_MU_CNTL_REG to 0. Disable transmitter and receiver during configuration.
  3. Set AUX_MU_IER_REG to 0. Disable interrupt because currently you don’t need interrupt.
  4. Set AUX_MU_LCR_REG to 3. Set the data size to 8 bit.
  5. Set AUX_MU_MCR_REG to 0. Don’t need auto flow control.
  6. Set AUX_MU_BAUD to 270. Set baud rate to 115200
  7. Set AUX_MU_IIR_REG to 6. No FIFO.
  8. Map UART to GPIO pins
  9. Set AUX_MU_CNTL_REG to 3. Enable the transmitter and receiver.

Read

  1. Check AUX_MU_LSR_REG’s data ready field.
  2. If set, read from AUX_MU_IO_REG

Write

  1. Check AUX_MU_LSR_REG’s Transmitter empty field.
  2. If set, write to AUX_MU_IO_REG

Map UART to GPIO pins

These registers must be used in conjunction with the GPPUD register to effect GPIO Pull-up/down changes. The following sequence of events is required:

  1. Write to GPPUD to set the required control signal (i.e. Pull-up or Pull-Down or neither to remove the current Pull-up/down)
  2. Wait 150 cycles – this provides the required set-up time for the control signal
  3. Write to GPPUDCLK0/1 to clock the control signal into the GPIO pads you wish to modify – NOTE only the pads which receive a clock will be modified, all others will retain their previous state.
  4. Wait 150 cycles – this provides the required hold time for the control signal
  5. Write to GPPUD to remove the control signal
  6. Write to GPPUDCLK0/1 to remove the clock

Registers

GPFSELn

GPIO Function Select Registers

The function select registers are used to define the operation of the general-purpose I/O pins.

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p91

GPPUD

GPIO Pull-up/down Register

The GPIO Pull-up/down Register controls the actuation of the internal pull-up/down control line to ALL the GPIO pins. This register must be used in conjunction with the 2 GPPUDCLKn registers.

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p100

GPPUDCLKn

GPIO Pull-up/down Clock Register

The GPIO Pull-up/down Clock Registers control the actuation of internal pull-downs on the respective GPIO pins.

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p101

AUX_MU_CNTL

The AUX_MU_CNTL_REG provides access to some extra useful and nice features not found on a normal 16550 UART

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p16

AUX_MU_IER

The AUX_MU_IIR_REG register shows the interrupt status. It also has two FIFO enable status bits and (when writing) FIFO clear bits.

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p13

AUX_MU_LCR

The AUX_MU_LCR_REG register controls the line data format and gives access to the baudrate register

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p14

AUX_MU_MCR

The AUX_MU_MCR_REG register controls the ‘modem’ signals

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p14

AUX_MU_BAUD

The AUX_MU_BAUD register allows direct access to the 16-bit wide baudrate counter

$$ \text{baud rate} = \frac{\text{system clock freq}}{8 \times (\text{AUX_MU_BAUD} + 1)} $$

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p19

AUX_MU_IIR

The AUX_MU_IER_REG register is primary used to enable interrupts If the DLAB bit in the line control register is set this register gives access to the MS 8 bits of the baud rate

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p12

AUX_MU_LSR

The AUX_MU_LSR_REG register shows the data status

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p15

AUX_MU_IO

The AUX_MU_IO_REG register is primary used to write data to and read data from the UART FIFOs

If the DLAB bit in the line control register is set this register gives access to the LS 8 bits of the baud rate

Ref: BCM2835 ARM Peripher - p11
