UART receiving problem with LPC1227

Hi
i am writing a program which receives 0x03 and 0x04 strings continusly via UART0 and sends to a device through UART1.The device responds with a 3 bit data for each command(0x03 and 0x04).


DEVICE-1 sends 0x03 =>uart0----- LPC1227-----UART1=>0x03 to the device2
DEVICE-2 sends 0x01 0x0c 0xff =>uart1----- LPC1227-----UART0=>0x01 0x0c 0xffto the device1

DEVICE-1 sends 0x04 =>uart0----- LPC1227-----UART1=>0x04 to the device2
DEVICE-2 sends 0x01 0x0c 0xff =>uart1----- LPC1227-----UART0=>0x01 0x0c 0xffto the device1



The first bit of the receving bit is a command and it should be always 0x01.
my problem is in receiving the 3 bit data , some times the device 2 will not send 3 bits of data insted it will send 1 or 2 bits and my getchar waits for receiving it and the program enter into a endless loop.so any one can help me in writing a timer which waits for receiving the data for 5 ms and after 5ms , if there is no data received restart or clear the uart buffer.

There are examples in the LPC12xx examples supplied with LPCXpresso that show the use of both Systick and Timer peripherals. Suggest you start off by looking at those.

I haven't got any experience with the HW timers so all I can suggest at this point is a dodgy software "timer"

int UART1_getchar (void) {

    for (long i = 0; i < some_really_big_number; i++) {
        if (!(LPC_UART1->LSR & 0x01)){
                  return (LPC_UART1->RBR);
        }
    return (ERROR_TIMEOUT);
}

I assume you means [B]bytes[/B].

The quick and dirty way is to wrap your getchar() in a loop with a counter and maybe a short delay. If you get a character you return from inside the loop, if the loop terminates you timed out.

You could also read the systick value ( SysTick->VAL; ) and return after 5mS has passed.

You are exactly right.but i had found a different way of implimentation .plan to make a delay in uart1 receive.the uart 1 rx will jump from the infinite loop without receiving any charactor after 5 ms.


int UART1_getchar (void)

    {

if (!(LPC_UART1->LSR & 0x01))
{

}

return (LPC_UART1->RBR);
    }
any idea to execute a timer?

Hi,

Any have an idea about receiving strings without waiting more than 3 ms.

int UART1_getchar (void)

    {

if (!(LPC_UART1->LSR & 0x01))
{

}

return (LPC_UART1->RBR);
    }

i tried to remove the loop, but it making errors in receiving the second and third data.so i need a proper counder or timer to me executed after sending the data.

Thanks
Arun
