uart_edma_transfer#

Overview#

The uart_edma example shows how to use uart driver with EDMA:

In this example, one uart instance connect to PC through uart, the board will send back all characters that PC send to the board.

Note: The example echo every 8 characters, so input 8 characters every time.

Supported Boards#

FRDM-K22F
Hardware requirements
  • Mini/Micro USB cable

  • FRDM-K22F board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

No special is needed.

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect a mini USB cable between the PC host and the OpenSDA USB port on the board.

  2. Open a serial terminal on PC for OpenSDA serial device with these settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Reset the SoC and run the project.

Running the demo

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the OpenSDA terminal like:

UART EDMA example
Send back received data
Echo every 8 characters
FRDM-KE17Z512
Hardware requirements
  • Micro USB cable

  • FRDM-KE17Z512 board

  • Personal Computer

  • USB to Com converter

Board settings

J4-10 connect to TxD of the USB to Com converter. J4-12 connect to RxD of the USB to Com converter. J3-14 connect to GND of the USB to Com converter

Prepare the Demo
  1. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the MCU-LINK USB port on the target board.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

When the example runs successfully, the following message is displayed in the terminal:

UART EDMA example
Send back received data
Echo every 8 characters

When you input 8 characters, system will echo it by UART and them would be seen on the MCU-LINK terminal.
