带PDC的UART写缓冲区

我在使用const char buffer和char arrray写入USARt时遇到问题。

这是我的UART写入功能:

unsigned int USART_Send(  unsigned char *p_pucData, 
                              unsigned int p_unLen)
{


  AT91C_BASE_US2->US_TPR = (unsigned int)p_pucData;
  AT91C_BASE_US2->US_TCR =  p_unLen;
  AT91C_BASE_US2->US_PTCR = AT91C_PDC_TXTEN;


  while((AT91C_BASE_US2->US_CSR & ((0x1 << 11) | (0x1 << 4) ) ) == 0);

   AT91C_BASE_US2->US_PTCR = AT91C_PDC_TXTDIS;

    return p_unLen;    
}

下面的函数使用const char * like:

USART_Send("IsitDone?",9);   //Working

如果我使用如下所示的数组缓冲区,它会显示垃圾字符,想知道为什么?

 unsigned char arr[10];
  memcpy(arr, "HelloWorld", 10);
  USART_Send(arr, sizeof(arr));  //Not working properly displaying Garbage chars

里卡多·克鲁多是对的。您遇到以下问题:

arr is created on the stack
arr is filled
call USART_Send
    fill transmit pointer, counter, enable tx requests
    /* peripheral state is TXBUFE = '0' and ENDTX = '0' because:           */
    /* TXBUFE = '0' when PERIPH_TCR != 0 and                               */
    /* ENDTX = '0' when PERIPH_TCR != 0                                    */
    /* but we just wrote to PERIPH_TCR, so it's != 0                       */
    /* both conditions are satisfied, b/c the transfer hasn't started yet! */
    wait until (TXBUFE = '0' and ENDTX = '0')
    /* your code thinks PDC is done here      */
    /* but in reality, PDC is getting started */
    disable tx requests
return from sub-function
overwrite stack (and arr) with unrelated data here
/* PDC might push out last word(s) here due to pipelining/        */
/* instruction cache/side effects/you-name-it                     */
/* even though its matrix requests were disabled a few cycles ago */

解决方案:

  • 复制到全局缓冲区
  • 在启用tx请求和检查PDC是否完成之间等待一些周期(可能是整个波特 tick
  • 回读PERIPH_TCR并检查它是否为零而不是检查标志

理想情况下,您将为字符串分配一些动态内存,并在PDC与您的实际代码异步完成后取消分配它。您可能想要检查PDC /外设完成后是否可以获得某种中断,然后释放它读取的内存。

如果你没有动态内存分配,那么使用全局环形缓冲区并抽象你的字符串/字符发送函数来代替使用这个缓冲区。
