How can i access to UART0 RBR and THR?

Hi, i'm stuck with a project. I have to do a serial communication and access to UART0 receiver buffer register and transmit hold register using the CMSIS. I have basically no idea how to do that. Ones i have define the baudrate (with the function en Serial.h) and the interrupt for the serial port (with the attach function), what i have to put in the callback?

Thank so much in advance, Giacomo

You have to put in the callback what you want the callback to do. But how is that related to your question how to access RBR/THR? Can you try to describe more precise what you want to do exactly?

Regarding the title question:

LPC_UART0->RBR
LPC_UART0->THR

Without looking it up, but I believe they are the ones.

In my project everytime i have to read or write on the buffer i have to do that using interrupt on UART0. So if i understood well i have to do in the callback for example

void callback(){

        if(pc.readable()) {
            Cr=LPC_UART0->RBR;
            os_sys_init(tsinicio);
            isr_evt_set(EVENTOCR, idrx);
        }else{
        if (pc.writeable()){
            os_evt_wait_or(EVENTOTXACK, EVENTOTXNACK, EVENTORXTRAMA);
            for(indWbtx=0; indWbtx=BUFFER_SIZE, i++){
            LPC_UART0->THR=bufferOUT[indWbtx];
            }
        }
}

Is it right? Thank you, Giacomo

I have no idea, why don't you just use pc.getc()/pc.putc? Also no idea what they rest is supposed to be, but if it is an RTOS (why not use the mbed RTOS?), you probably aren't allowed to put a wait in an interrupt. (With mbed RTOS you also aren't allowed to do putc/getc in an interrupt, solution is to use then RawSerial instead of Serial).
