Hi, I'm trying to clock the CPU (MSP430F1611) to 8,000,000 Hz and I've run into some problems. Making the CPU to actually run at 8MHz was easy enough: DCOCTL = DCO0 + DCO1 + DCO2; /* 0xE0 */ BCSCTL1 = XT2OFF + RSEL0 + RSEL1 + RSEL2; /* 0x87 */ However, the UART1 stopped working. What I've got so far is: void uart1_init( unsigned int ubr ) { /* RS232 */ P3DIR &= ~0...

Hi, I am trying to develop a Flash program utility using RS232 serial communication for TMS320F2808 target board with out using any compile tools(like Code Composer Studio), and eliminating the manual intervention. My main intention is to avoid manual intervention and perform the Flash operations through command line, once i open a communication channel(COM port) and SCI A/B channel. I a...

Hi All, So my company has a datalogger for trucks and etc. It's a simple black box design, nothing too fancy about it. Right now the clients download data by bringing a laptop to the truck, plugging a null modem cable into the RS232 of the black box and downloading the data as a text file via HyperTerminal. We want to make this process easier for our clients. I have the fun task of e...

Gee Wee, the customer is not happy with 115K. We already determined that TI's MAX232 works up to 115K and the MAX3232 won't even work at 115K (although it claims to work). I know there are pin-incompatible MAX-something, but we don't want to change layout, just for the sake of in-compatibility. Are there pin-compatible, reliable MAX232 clones for 230K that work, not just claim to work? Th...

Hi! Can anyone give me some links to WLAN serial(USB or RS232) converters, please? It may be an integrated chipset solution, an embedded board solution or even a ready device built in a case. Google gives me products of the following solution: serial-LAN-converter connected to a LAN-WLAN-converter, I hope there is a smarter way. Thanks!

Any software, freeware that can be purchased that can operate using instrument type graphics. For example on the large comercial aircraft they use just one display screen using graphics to show fuel levels, voltage readings, data of engine performance. Is there software around that can read the RS232 port and show a analog meter on the screen like a digital meter, instead of using a osci...

Greetings: I am writing driver code for the serial communications interface (SCI) of the TI TMS320F2812. So far I have been developing a set of functions analagous to C stdio stream IO calls that allow me to communicate via a RS232 link to a PC. The 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs are utilized by the lowest level getc/putc functions. The other functions merely call getc/putc: ...

Hello! I am working on an serial RS232 RF link between two PIC16F628's. The master uses SEROUT to send a serial command such as "*0001-5260*F" out to the cloud of slaves. The "*0001-5260*" is the address of one of the slaves, and the "F" is the command. The slave with that serial number responds, receives the string with SERIN, then verifies that the whole command was read (it must m...

I'm looking for a solution for wireless cable replacement. Basically I would like to have some wireless technology that replaces cables from point A to point b-z. I'm thinking about more than one RS232 cable and I'll need to figure out the control mechanism for the control pins. Anyone have any ideas? I'd be willing to build it myself so any solutions would be of interest to me. Thanks ...

I just received an unpleasant surprise when trying to use differential serial on the Advantech PCM-5820. The system has jumpers for the second serial port; RS232, RS422 or RS485. In either RS422 or RS485 mode, I see no activity at all on the TxD+/- pins. My software is asserting DTR and RTS, so I don't know what else I could possibly do to enable the drivers (and they should always be enab...

I've attached the obligatory RS485 -> RS232 converter and connected to a free serial port on my PC. All good so far! Now, the alarm panel deliberately causes a parity error on the header byte of all packets transmitted on the bus. This parity error is used by all

Hello, I'm working on a `gdb stub' to allow debugging of code in an Atmel AVR processor using gdb running on the host platform. Communication between gdb and the stub is done over RS232. At this moment my platform is the at90can128, but other AVR types should work as well with little change. The stub is implemented as an interrupt handler on the serial-rx interrupt. When the ISR is acti...
