Hi, I am having a lot of trouble configuring the UART on the MCF5407. The only way I was able to make the UART work with the interrupt is to inverse the UIMR bit logic; the datasheet says that we must set TxRDY and FFULL so the interrupts can be asserted but for me, it's the opposite.
I must clear FFULL for Rx, and clear TxRDY when sending and set when software tx fifo is empty.
I copied the problematic code below. To make it work for me, I must inverse ENABLE and DISABLE in the main loop and in HandleUart(void).
When I try to transfer this code to the main project, we have interrupt issues. There is something wrong that I can't figure out.
Thanks for the help

		There should be some linux serial drivers for this hardware. Google might be able to find you some sources. They certainly aren't in the current distributions.
I found references to there being sources in the ucLinux sources here (reference, not the sources) under "Interrupt-based driver for Wacom Artpad":
My life with the MCF5407 Coldfire Board \\ (draft)
There might be something in here:

Hi,
MCF5407 is a quite old product, we couldn't debug the code.
While, I find MCF5407 UART driver for your reference.
Wish it helps.
Have a great day,
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately this driver doesn't use the interrupts, but I still managed to find my problem.
The UART interrupt mask register MCF5407_UART0_UIMR and the UART interrupt pending register MCF5407_UART0_UISR share the exact same address. The read operation returns UISR, not UIMR. So we cannot do this :
void EnableTxInt()
{
   unsigned char uimr = CPU_RD(MCF5407_UART0_UIMR); // WRONG !!!
   uimr |= MCF5407_UART_UIMR_TXRDY; // ENABLE TX INTERRUPT
CPU_WR(MCF5407_UART0_UIMR, uimr);
}
We should do this instead :
unsigned char g_uimr;
// Initialize g_uimr somewhere...
void EnableTxInt()
{
g_uimr |= MCF5407_UART_UIMR_TXRDY; // ENABLE TX INTERRUPT
CPU_WR(MCF5407_UART0_UIMR, g_uimr);
}
If it may help someone else.
