Detailed Description

A base class for serial port implementations Can't be instantiated directly (use Serial or RawSerial)

Note
Synchronization level: Set by subclass

Member Function Documentation

void abort_read ( )

Abort the on-going read transfer.

It is safe to call abort_read() when there is no on-going transaction.

void abort_write ( )

Abort the on-going write transfer.

It is safe to call abort_write() when there is no on-going transaction.

void attach ( Callback< void()>  func,
IrqType  type = RxIrq 
)

Attach a function to call whenever a serial interrupt is generated.

Parameters
funcA pointer to a void function, or 0 to set as none
typeWhich serial interrupt to attach the member function to (Serial::RxIrq for receive, TxIrq for transmit buffer empty)
void attach ( T *  obj,
void(T::*)()  method,
IrqType  type = RxIrq 
)

Attach a member function to call whenever a serial interrupt is generated.

Parameters
objpointer to the object to call the member function on
methodpointer to the member function to be called
typeWhich serial interrupt to attach the member function to (Serial::RxIrq for receive, TxIrq for transmit buffer empty)
Deprecated:
The attach function does not support cv-qualifiers. Replaced by attach(callback(obj, method), type).

Definition at line 121 of file SerialBase.h.

void attach ( T *  obj,
void(*)(T *)  method,
IrqType  type = RxIrq 
)

Attach a member function to call whenever a serial interrupt is generated.

Parameters
objpointer to the object to call the member function on
methodpointer to the member function to be called
typeWhich serial interrupt to attach the member function to (Serial::RxIrq for receive, TxIrq for transmit buffer empty)
Deprecated:
The attach function does not support cv-qualifiers. Replaced by attach(callback(obj, method), type).

Definition at line 139 of file SerialBase.h.

void baud ( int  baudrate)

Set the baud rate of the serial port.

Parameters
baudrateThe baudrate of the serial port (default = 9600).
void clear_break ( )

Clear a break condition on the serial line NOTE: Should be run at least one frame after set_break is called.

void enable_input ( bool  enable = true)

Enable serial input.

If both serial input and serial output are disabled, the peripheral is freed. If either serial input or serial output is re-enabled, the peripheral is reinitialized.

On re-initialization rx interrupts will be enabled if a rx handler is attached. The rx handler is called once during re-initialization.

void enable_output ( bool  enable = true)

Enable serial output.

If both serial input and serial output are disabled, the peripheral is freed. If either serial input or serial output is re-enabled, the peripheral is reinitialized.

On re-initialization tx interrupts will be enabled if a tx handler is attached. The tx handler is called once during re-initialization.

void format ( int  bits = 8,
Parity  parity = SerialBase::None,
int  stop_bits = 1 
)

Set the transmission format used by the serial port.

Parameters
bitsThe number of bits in a word (5-8; default = 8)
parityThe parity used (SerialBase::None, SerialBase::Odd, SerialBase::Even, SerialBase::Forced1, SerialBase::Forced0; default = SerialBase::None)
stop_bitsThe number of stop bits (1 or 2; default = 1)
int read ( uint8_t *  buffer,
int  length,
const event_callback_t callback,
int  event = SERIAL_EVENT_RX_COMPLETE,
unsigned char  char_match = SERIAL_RESERVED_CHAR_MATCH 
)

Begin asynchronous reading using 8bit buffer.

The read operation ends with any of the enabled events and invokes registered callback function (which can be NULL to not receive callback at all). Events that are not enabled by event argument are simply ignored. Operation has to be ended explicitly by calling abort_read() when no events are enabled. This function locks the deep sleep until any event has occurred.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer where received data will be stored
lengthThe buffer length in bytes
callbackThe event callback function
eventThe logical OR of RX events that should end operation
char_matchThe matching character
Returns
Zero if new transaction was started, -1 if transaction is already on-going
int read ( uint16_t *  buffer,
int  length,
const event_callback_t callback,
int  event = SERIAL_EVENT_RX_COMPLETE,
unsigned char  char_match = SERIAL_RESERVED_CHAR_MATCH 
)

Begin asynchronous reading using 16bit buffer.

The read operation ends with any of the enabled events and invokes registered callback function (which can be NULL to not receive callback at all). Events that are not enabled by event argument are simply ignored. Operation has to be ended explicitly by calling abort_read() when no events are enabled. This function locks the deep sleep until any event has occurred.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer where received data will be stored
lengthThe buffer length in bytes
callbackThe event callback function
eventThe logical OR of RX events that should end operation
char_matchThe matching character
Returns
Zero if new transaction was started, -1 if transaction is already on-going
int readable ( )

Determine if there is a character available to read.

Returns
1 if there is a character available to read, 0 otherwise
void send_break ( )

Generate a break condition on the serial line.

void set_break ( )

Generate a break condition on the serial line NOTE: Clear break needs to run at least one frame after set_break is called.

int set_dma_usage_rx ( DMAUsage  usage)

Configure DMA usage suggestion for non-blocking RX transfers.

Parameters
usageThe usage DMA hint for peripheral
Returns
Zero if the usage was set, -1 if a transaction is on-going
int set_dma_usage_tx ( DMAUsage  usage)

Configure DMA usage suggestion for non-blocking TX transfers.

Parameters
usageThe usage DMA hint for peripheral
Returns
Zero if the usage was set, -1 if a transaction is on-going
void set_flow_control ( Flow  type,
PinName  flow1 = NC,
PinName  flow2 = NC 
)

Set the flow control type on the serial port.

Parameters
typethe flow control type (Disabled, RTS, CTS, RTSCTS)
flow1the first flow control pin (RTS for RTS or RTSCTS, CTS for CTS)
flow2the second flow control pin (CTS for RTSCTS)
int write ( const uint8_t *  buffer,
int  length,
const event_callback_t callback,
int  event = SERIAL_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE 
)

Begin asynchronous write using 8bit buffer.

The write operation ends with any of the enabled events and invokes registered callback function (which can be NULL to not receive callback at all). Events that are not enabled by event argument are simply ignored. Operation has to be ended explicitly by calling abort_write() when no events are enabled. This function locks the deep sleep until any event has occurred.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer where received data will be stored
lengthThe buffer length in bytes
callbackThe event callback function
eventThe logical OR of TX events that should end operation
Returns
Zero if new transaction was started, -1 if transaction is already on-going
int write ( const uint16_t *  buffer,
int  length,
const event_callback_t callback,
int  event = SERIAL_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE 
)

Begin asynchronous write using 16bit buffer.

The write operation ends with any of the enabled events and invokes registered callback function (which can be NULL to not receive callback at all). Events that are not enabled by event argument are simply ignored. Operation has to be ended explicitly by calling abort_write() when no events are enabled. This function locks the deep sleep until any event has occurred.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer where received data will be stored
lengthThe buffer length in bytes
callbackThe event callback function
eventThe logical OR of TX events that should end operation
Returns
Zero if new transaction was started, -1 if transaction is already on-going
int writeable ( )

Determine if there is space available to write a character.

Returns
1 if there is space to write a character, 0 otherwise
