KW01Z4128 access to UART0 registers (0x4006A000) results in hardfault

When I try to access the UART0 (and other) registers i am ending up with a hardfault. I am in privileged mode as you can see in the next log from the debugger

Any idea what can be wrong here?

Hi Johan,

Usually hard fault occurs when you try to access a peripheral register without first enabling the clock to the peripheral module from within the SIM module SCGCx registers.  The SIM->SCGC4 bit 10 needs to be set to "1" to enable clocking to UART0.

Regards,

David

Hello Johan,

In addition, what software application are you exactly using? I would recommend you to use any of the code examples included in KW0x Board support package as reference. You could download it from “Software & Tools” tab in http://www.freescale.com/kw01.

Hi Angel,

Found tit yesterday evening and your answer was correct. Some part are a bit confusing regarding the clocking. There are 2 clock registers for the uart bit 10 of SIM_SGC4 and bits 26-27 of SIM_SOPT2 -> defaulted to 0 what means disable.

Apparently only the SIM_SGC4 must be enabled to be able to change the UART register settings even if the UART clock source in SIM_SOPT2 is disabled

I don't use any libraries, we are writing our own to be able to optimize for size and speed

Regards

Johan
