FlexIO UART Driver

Overview

The MCUXpresso SDK provides a peripheral driver for the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) function using the Flexible I/O.

FlexIO UART driver includes functional APIs and transactional APIs. Functional APIs target low-level APIs. Functional APIs can be used for the FlexIO UART initialization/configuration/operation for optimization/customization purpose. Using the functional APIs requires the knowledge of the FlexIO UART peripheral and how to organize functional APIs to meet the application requirements. All functional API use the FLEXIO_UART_Type * as the first parameter. FlexIO UART functional operation groups provide the functional APIs set.

Transactional APIs target high-level APIs. Transactional APIs can be used to enable the peripheral and also in the application if the code size and performance of transactional APIs satisfy requirements. If the code size and performance are critical requirements, see the transactional API implementation and write custom code. All transactional APIs use the flexio_uart_handle_t as the second parameter. Initialize the handle by calling the FLEXIO_UART_TransferCreateHandle() API.

Transactional APIs support asynchronous transfer. This means that the functions FLEXIO_UART_SendNonBlocking() and FLEXIO_UART_ReceiveNonBlocking() set up an interrupt for data transfer. When the transfer is complete, the upper layer is notified through a callback function with the kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_TxIdle and kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_RxIdle status.

Transactional receive APIs support the ring buffer. Prepare the memory for the ring buffer and pass in the start address and size through calling the FLEXIO_UART_InstallRingBuffer(). When the ring buffer is enabled, the received data is saved to the ring buffer in the background. The function FLEXIO_UART_ReceiveNonBlocking() first gets data the from the ring buffer. If ring buffer does not have enough data, the function returns the data to the ring buffer and saves the received data to user memory. When all data is received, the upper layer is informed through a callback with the statuskStatus_FLEXIO_UART_RxIdle status.

If the receive ring buffer is full, the upper layer is informed through a callback with status kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_RxRingBufferOverrun. In the callback function, the upper layer reads data from the ring buffer. If not, the oldest data is overwritten by the new data.

The ring buffer size is specified when calling the FLEXIO_UART_InstallRingBuffer. Note that one byte is reserved for the ring buffer maintenance. Create a handle as follows.

FLEXIO_UART_InstallRingBuffer(&uartDev, &handle, &ringBuffer, 32);

In this example, the buffer size is 32. However, only 31 bytes are used for saving data.

Typical use case

status_t FLEXIO_UART_TransferCreateHandle ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle,
flexio_uart_transfer_callback_t  callback,
void *  userData 
)

This function initializes the FlexIO UART handle, which can be used for other FlexIO UART transactional APIs. Call this API once to get the initialized handle.

The UART driver supports the "background" receiving, which means that users can set up a RX ring buffer optionally. Data received is stored into the ring buffer even when the user doesn't call the FLEXIO_UART_TransferReceiveNonBlocking() API. If there is already data received in the ring buffer, users can get the received data from the ring buffer directly. The ring buffer is disabled if passing NULL as ringBuffer.

Parameters
baseto FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
callbackThe callback function.
userDataThe parameter of the callback function.
Return values
kStatus_SuccessSuccessfully create the handle.
kStatus_OutOfRangeThe FlexIO type/handle/ISR table out of range.
void FLEXIO_UART_TransferStartRingBuffer ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle,
uint8_t *  ringBuffer,
size_t  ringBufferSize 
)

This function sets up the RX ring buffer to a specific UART handle.

When the RX ring buffer is used, data received is stored into the ring buffer even when the user doesn't call the UART_ReceiveNonBlocking() API. If there is already data received in the ring buffer, users can get the received data from the ring buffer directly.

Note
When using the RX ring buffer, one byte is reserved for internal use. In other words, if ringBufferSize is 32, only 31 bytes are used for saving data.
Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
ringBufferStart address of ring buffer for background receiving. Pass NULL to disable the ring buffer.
ringBufferSizeSize of the ring buffer.
void FLEXIO_UART_TransferStopRingBuffer ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle 
)

This function aborts the background transfer and uninstalls the ring buffer.

Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
status_t FLEXIO_UART_TransferSendNonBlocking ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle,
flexio_uart_transfer_t xfer 
)

This function sends data using an interrupt method. This is a non-blocking function, which returns directly without waiting for all data to be written to the TX register. When all data is written to the TX register in ISR, the FlexIO UART driver calls the callback function and passes the kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_TxIdle as status parameter.

Note
The kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_TxIdle is passed to the upper layer when all data is written to the TX register. However, it does not ensure that all data is sent out.
Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
xferFlexIO UART transfer structure. See flexio_uart_transfer_t.
Return values
kStatus_SuccessSuccessfully starts the data transmission.
kStatus_UART_TxBusyPrevious transmission still not finished, data not written to the TX register.
void FLEXIO_UART_TransferAbortSend ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle 
)

This function aborts the interrupt-driven data sending. Get the remainBytes to find out how many bytes are still not sent out.

Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
status_t FLEXIO_UART_TransferGetSendCount ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle,
size_t *  count 
)

This function gets the number of bytes sent driven by interrupt.

Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
countNumber of bytes sent so far by the non-blocking transaction.
Return values
kStatus_NoTransferInProgresstransfer has finished or no transfer in progress.
kStatus_SuccessSuccessfully return the count.
status_t FLEXIO_UART_TransferReceiveNonBlocking ( FLEXIO_UART_Type base,
flexio_uart_handle_t *  handle,
flexio_uart_transfer_t xfer,
size_t *  receivedBytes 
)

This function receives data using the interrupt method. This is a non-blocking function, which returns without waiting for all data to be received. If the RX ring buffer is used and not empty, the data in ring buffer is copied and the parameter receivedBytes shows how many bytes are copied from the ring buffer. After copying, if the data in ring buffer is not enough to read, the receive request is saved by the UART driver. When new data arrives, the receive request is serviced first. When all data is received, the UART driver notifies the upper layer through a callback function and passes the status parameter kStatus_UART_RxIdle. For example, if the upper layer needs 10 bytes but there are only 5 bytes in the ring buffer, the 5 bytes are copied to xfer->data. This function returns with the parameter receivedBytes set to 5. For the last 5 bytes, newly arrived data is saved from the xfer->data[5]. When 5 bytes are received, the UART driver notifies upper layer. If the RX ring buffer is not enabled, this function enables the RX and RX interrupt to receive data to xfer->data. When all data is received, the upper layer is notified.

Parameters
basePointer to the FLEXIO_UART_Type structure.
handlePointer to the flexio_uart_handle_t structure to store the transfer state.
xferUART transfer structure. See flexio_uart_transfer_t.
receivedBytesBytes received from the ring buffer directly.
Return values

kStatus_FLEXIO_UART_RxBusyPrevious receive request is not finished.
