Problem with definition GPIO with UART0

Good afternoon,

I´m newbie here and new in working with STR912FW44. I need advice. I have a problem with correct definition gpio pins to functions for UART0. Code for UART is correct, when I simulated them, it was ok, but inicialization gpio 3.3 for RTS and 5.1 for Rx and 3.4 for Tx is incorect. When I want to use function GPIO_DeInit(GPIO3) and same for GPIO5, it didnt set gpio 3.,3.3 and 5.3, when I use that pins it doesn´t work correct. How to improve the function of that pins?

Thanks Oldriska

Hi Oldriska

Here is some code which can be used to set up RX and TX lines for UART0 use. The RTS can be set up in a similar fashion, but I don't have verified code for it.

// Set UART0 - TX0 is P3.4 (2nd function) / UART RX0 is P5.1

#define MASK_FUNCTION 0x03

#define PORT_OUT_FUNCTION 0x01

#define ALT_OUTPUT_2_FUNCTION 0x02

#define ALT_OUTPUT_3_FUNCTION 0x03

#define PORT5_BIT1 0x02

SCU_GPIOOUT3 &= ~(MASK_FUNCTION << (2*4));

SCU_GPIOOUT3 |= (ALT_OUTPUT_3_FUNCTION << (2*4));

SCU_GPIOOUT5 &= ~(MASK_FUNCTION << (2*1));

SCU_GPIOIN5 |= PORT5_BIT1;

Don't forget to also enable the UART using something like:

SCU_PCGR1 |= UART1; // enable clocks to UART1

SCU_PRR1 |= UART1; // take UART1 out of reset
