Hi .
Is the UART interrupt handler expected to clear the RBR register upon exit? I am trying to read out the content of the RBR register outside of the handler,but it seems like the value is already cleared by the handler. Thanks.
Here's some part of my code:
<code>
inside main():
while (1) {
while (rbr == 0);
printf ("%c\n", LPC_UART2->RBR); //this simply prints a \n, not the character from RBR.
rbr = 0;
}
interrupt handler:
void UART2_IRQHandler(void) {
uint32_t status = LPC_UART2->IIR;
if ( (status & IRQ_RDA) == IRQ_RDA) {
while ((LPC_UART2->LSR & 0x20) == 0);
rbr =1;
}
}
</code>
it works well when I am reading RBR inside the handler:
<code>
inside main:
while (1) {
while (rbr == 0);
printf ("%c\n", ch); //this is ok.
rbr = 0;
}
interrupt handler:
void UART2_IRQHandler(void) {
uint32_t status = LPC_UART2->IIR;
if ( (status & IRQ_RDA) == IRQ_RDA) {
while ((LPC_UART2->LSR & 0x20) == 0);
ch = LPC_UART2->RBR;
rbr =1;
}
}
</code>
