UART

Overview

Defines standard APIs of universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) capabilities.

You can use this module to access the UART and enable the driver to operate a UART-compliant device. The functions in this module help you to obtain and release the UART device handle, read and write data, obtain and set the baud rate and device attributes.

Function Documentation

UartClose()

  1. void UartClose (struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md) * handle)

Description:

Releases the UART device handle.

If you no longer need to access the UART device, you should call this function to close its handle so as to release unused memory resources.

Parameters:

Name

Description
handle Indicates the pointer to the UART device handle, which is obtained via UartOpen.

UartGetAttribute()

  1. int32_t UartGetAttribute (struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md) * handle, struct [UartAttribute]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-UartAttribute.md) * attribute )

Description:

Obtains the UART attribute.

UART attributes include data bits, stop bits, parity bit, CTS, RTS, and receiving and transmitting FIFO.

Parameters:

Name

Description
handle Indicates the pointer to the UART device handle, which is obtained via UartOpen.
attribute Indicates the pointer to the obtained UART attribute.

Returns:

Returns 0 if the UART attribute is obtained; returns a negative number otherwise.

UartGetBaud()

  1. int32_t UartGetBaud (struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md) * handle, uint32_t * baudRate )

Description:

Obtains the baud rate of the UART device.

Parameters:

Name

Description
handle Indicates the pointer to the UART device handle, which is obtained via UartOpen.
baudRate Indicates the pointer to the obtained baud rate.

Returns:

Returns 0 if the baud rate is obtained; returns a negative number otherwise.

UartOpen()

  1. struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md)* UartOpen (uint32_t port)

Description:

Obtains the UART device handle.

Before accessing the UART device, you must call this function to obtain the UART device handle.

Parameters:

Name

Description
port Indicates the UART port.

Returns:

Returns the pointer to the UART device handle if the handle is obtained; returns NULL otherwise.

UartRead()

  1. int32_t UartRead (struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md) * handle, uint8_t * data, uint32_t size )

Description:

Reads data of a specified size from a UART device.

Parameters:

Name

Description
handle Indicates the pointer to the UART device handle, which is obtained via UartOpen.
data Indicates the pointer to the buffer for receiving the data.
size Indicates the size of the data to read.

Returns:

Returns the size of the data that is successfully read; returns a negative number if the reading fails.

UartSetAttribute()

  1. int32_t UartSetAttribute (struct [DevHandle]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-DevHandle.md) * handle, struct [UartAttribute]($api-api-SmartVision-Devices-UartAttribute.md) * attribute )

Description:

Sets the UART attribute.

UART attributes include data bits, stop bits, parity bit, CTS, RTS, and receiving and transmitting FIFO.

Parameters:

Name

Description
handle Indicates the pointer to the UART device handle, which is obtained via UartOpen.
attribute Indicates the pointer to the UART attribute to set.

Returns:

Returns 0 if the setting is successful; returns a negative number otherwise.
