FreeRTOS: UART_SetModemMode does not work

[falstaff]

Hello,

Using the latest FreeRTOS iMX7D 1.0.1 BSP I am not able to use the UART in DTE. I use the hello_world example and changed harware_init.c trying to switch to DCE mode using UART_SetModemMode with the uartModemModeDte argument. Unfortunately that seems not to work.

Best regards,

Stefan

After further debugging it turns out that the implementation in uart_imx.c contains a bug in the assertion of the argument. This change helped to fix the issue:

 UART_UFCR_REG(base) &= ~UART_UFCR_DCEDTE_MASK;

Since the issue is in the driver code provided by NXP, it would be nice if this issue will be fixed in the next FreeRTOS BSP release...
