I havent read all the threads but i do have working string tx/rx code for both sci1 and sci0 for the dragon12+ board if you need? its written in c for codewarrior

Hello,

>Have you enabled the TE and RE bits in SCI0CR2?
Yes by using this function:

#define TX 0x08
#define RX 0x04

SetSCI0(RX|TX);

void SetSCI0(char OnOff)
{
SCI0CR2= OnOff; // SCI Control Register 2 (SCICR2)
}
I am able to send one character. I thing setting TE and RE is not the problem. I thing something is destroying the status flags but what and why...

Have you enabled the TE and RE bits in SCI0CR2?

Hello,

thank you but it is the same. It is possible to send one character put_s("T"); but it is not possible to send a string put_s("Text");

It always stopps here: while((SCI0SR1 & 0x80) == 0);

I do not know. There really seems to be something wrong with the flags....

The following works fine for me if I only need a synchronous solution.
Using an interrupt driven routine gives much better performance wrt
concurrency.

#ifndef bit
#define bit(x) (1 << (x))
#endif

void put_char(char c) {
while((SCI0SR1 & bit(7)) == 0);
SCI0DRL = c;
}

void put_s(char* str) {
while(*str)
put_char(*str++);
}

Hello,

I think that there is something wrong with the SCI Status Register 1 (SCISR1).

"Clear TDRE by reading SCI status register 1 (SCISR1), with TDRE set and then writing to SCI data
register low (SCIDRL)"

I do this:

while( !(SCI0SR1 & 0x80) );
SCI0DRL= cPut;

but if I want to send a string the programm stops at the while loop.TDRE seems to be always 0.

Has anybody an example about SCI with or without SCI to test?

Hello,

I tried another terminal programm and it is the same, I think there is no echo function in hyperterminal and nothing is received by the controller.

I tried the following:

PutcharSCI0('A');
PutcharSCI0('B');

That does not work. It is the same result like PutStSCI0("AB");

It is only possible to send one character: PutcharSCI0('A'); That works and the A is received.

How...
I think I had that problem of SCI locked...
I don't use Hyperterminal, just scope to see if I transmit.

When I had this problem, it seems SCI received character, and this character
was not read. Do you know if Hyperterminal send characters (echo function) ?
If you don't use handshake, and have an oscilloscope, try to disconnect
Hyperterminal and see what you have on your output.
Or slow down your baudrate, and put a led + resistor...

Hello,

Yes!

TX and RX are defined like this:

#define TX 0x08
#define RX 0x04
#define RIE 0x20

Using:

void PutcharSCI0(unsigned char cPut)
{
while( !(SCI0SR1 & 0x80) );
SCI0DRL= cPut;
}/* void PutcharSCI0(unsigned char cPut) */

AND

PutcharSCI0('8');

works. The PC (Hyperterminal) receives the 8. If I want to send a string

PutStSCI0("Send Text");

void PutStSCI0(unsigned char *strPut)
{
while ( (*strPut) != '\0' )
{
PutcharSCI0(*strPut++);
}

}/* void PutcharSCI0(unsigned char cPut) */

It does not work. It stops here:

while( !(SCI0SR1 & 0x80) );

SCI0SR1 & 0x80 seems to be always 0.

Hello,

Sometimes, I use polling technique too (transmission at high baudrate)
About your init :
SCI0BDH and SCI0BDL for init baudrate seems ok to me

What about RX and TX ? For me, I write "SCI0CR2 = 0x0c;" to switch on TE and
RE bits of CR2. Maybe you have to check your value OnOff ? For me, RX and TX
are not defined in my compiler (ICC12).

What is the '/' in

I suppose it's an error when you typed your mail ?

I hope this will help you...
