Action

Configures the UART of AVR chips that have an extended UART like the M2560.

 

 

Syntax

CONFIG COMx = baud , synchrone=0|1,parity=none|disabled|even|odd,stopbits=1|2,databits=4|6|7|8|9,clockpol=0|1

 

Syntax Xmega

CONFIG COMx = baud , Mode=mode, Parity=parity, Stopbits=stopbits, Databits=databits,clockpol=Clockpol

 

 

Remarks

COMx

The COM port to configure. Value in range from 1-4

baud

Baud rate to use.

synchrone

0 for asynchrone operation (default) and 1 for synchrone operation.

Parity

None, disabled, even or odd

Stopbits

The number of stop bits : 1 or 2

Databits

The number of data bits : 4,5,7,8 or 9.

Clockpol

Clock polarity. 0 or 1.

 

 

Notice.jpg
Note that not all AVR chips have the extended UART. Most AVR chips have a UART with fixed communication parameters. These are : No parity, 1 stopbit, 8 data bits.

The Mega2560 does support 4 UART's.

 

 

 

Remarks Xmega

COMx

The COM port to configure. Value in range from 1-8

baud

Baud rate to use. If the baud rate can be generated accurately depends on the system clock.

mode

The USART mode, this can be :

- ASYNCHRONEOUS or 0 (default) for asynchronous operation.

- SYNCHRONEOUS or 1 , for synchronous operation.

- IRDA or IRCOM for IRDA operation

- SPI or MSPI for operation as SPI controller

 

Parity

None, disabled, even or odd

Stopbits

The number of stop bits : 1 or 2

Databits

The number of data bits : 5,6,7,8 or 9.

 

In the Xmega the registers have a fixed offset. This allows to use dynamic UARTS : you can change settings at run time by using a variable. This will use some more code when using just one UART but will save code when using multiple UARTS because you need only one copy of the code.

 

In the Xmega you MUST use CONFIG COM before you can use the UART. The CONFIG commands makes a call to _INIT_XMEGA_UART where the various parameters are passed to setup the UART. You also need to specify the baud rate. Do not use $BAUD.

 

The CLOCKPOL for the SPI mode has been removed, it will be added to a configuration command for the SPI.

 

The CONFIG COM will set the TX pin to output mode. This are the following pins :

 

UART

TX pin

RX pin

COM1 - UART_C0

PORTC.3

PORTC.2

COM2 - UART_C1

PORTC.7

PORTC.6

COM3 - UART_D0

PORTD.3

PORTD.2

COM4 - UART_D1

PORTD.7

PORTD.6

COM5 - UART_E0

PORTE.3

PORTE.2

COM6 - UART_E1

PORTE.7

PORTE.6

COM7 - UART_F0

PORTF.3

PORTF.2

COM8 - UART_F1

PORTF.7

PORTF.6

 

In IRDA mode, depending on the module you use, it might be necessary to invert the logic level of the TX pin with CONFIG XPIN. For example when COM1 is used for the IRDA module, you would use : CONFIG XPIN=PORTC.3, INVERTIO=ENABLED

 

 noticeIt is important that you specify all parameters of CONFIG COM. Do not omit one.
