Hardware requirements

  • Mini/Micro USB cable

  • FRDM-K32L3A6 board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

Using instance 1 of LPUART interface to transfer data to itself. TX pin is connected with RX pin.

LPUART1     CONNECTS TO        LPUART1
Pin Name    Board Location     Pin Name  Board Location
TXD         J1-4               RXD       J1-2

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect a mini USB cable between the PC host and the OpenSDA USB port on the board.

  2. Open a serial terminal on PC for OpenSDA serial device with these settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Reset the SoC and run the project.

Running the demo

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the OpenSDA terminal like:

USART 9-bit mode example begins
USART is configured with address, only data sent to itself after matched address can be received
USART will send first piece of data out:

0x 0  0x 1  0x 2  0x 3  0x 4  0x 5  0x 6  0x 7  
0x 8  0x 9  0x a  0x b  0x c  0x d  0x e  0x f  

USART will address itself
USART will send the other piece of data out:

0x10  0x11  0x12  0x13  0x14  0x15  0x16  0x17  
0x18  0x19  0x1a  0x1b  0x1c  0x1d  0x1e  0x1f  

USART received data:

0x10  0x11  0x12  0x13  0x14  0x15  0x16  0x17  
0x18  0x19  0x1a  0x1b  0x1c  0x1d  0x1e  0x1f  

All data matches!
