- Definition: UART serial port registers
of Freescale ARM KL25Z are configured
in order to transmit and receive data
serially.
- Freescale ARM chips come with up to 3 on chip UART ports (UART0 - UART2).
- UART0
- Ex. In the Freescale FRDM, UART0 port is connected to the OpenSDA (Open Serial Debug Adaptor),
which is connected to a USB connector.
- When the USB cable connects the PC to the FRDM board, the device driver at the host PC establishes
a virtual connection between the PC (as COM port) and the UART0 of the KL25Z device (as UART0).

- Baud clock and
oversampling
- How is it calculated?
- Formula
- SBR is the concatenation UART0_BDH:UART0_BDL (13
bits).
- OSR (oversampling rate) is the D4-D0 of UART0_C4.
- OBS: if OSR < 7, BOTHEDGE of UART0_C5 must be set.
- OBS: if OSR < 7, BOTHEDGE of UART0_C5 must be set.

(choose bit M for 8-bit or 9-bit frame size), if there will be
parity bit, and what the type of parity bit is, among other
functions.

- 8-bit register used to configure if transmit
(TE)/receive (RE) is enabled or not, and the rest of
the bits are used for interrupt driven serial
communication.

- UARTx_S1
- It is the most important UART status register. It
monitors the arrival of data among other
things. We monitor (poll) TC flag that all the
bits of last byte are transmitted. We monitor
(poll) the RDRF flag to see if a byte of data is
received. The TDRE flag indicates that the data
register is empty and ready to accept another
byte.

- USART_D
- It is the USART Data
Register, where data is
stored before transmitting
and after receiving.
- Advanced: There are actually 2
separate registers with the same
address and the same name, for
transmitting and receiving data.
Writing to the memory address
leads to write to the transmit
register and reading from the
memory address return the
received data.

UART peripheral. This set some
parameters for communication
including: baud rate, word length,
stop bit, serial interrupts (if needed).

- Transmit and receive register
- To send data, we simply
write to the transmit
register (UART_D). The
received data is stored in
the receive register
(UART_D). The data is
transmitted through serial
transmit pin (UARTx_TX) and
received through serial
receive pin (UARTx_RX).
- UART_D (transmit/receive register)
- To send data, we simply
write to the transmit
register (UART_D). The
received data is stored in
the receive register
(UART_D). The data is
transmitted through serial
transmit pin (UARTx_TX) and
received through serial
receive pin (UARTx_RX).
- Status Register
- Contains flags that show the state
of sending and receiving data,
including: existence of new
received data, error in received
data, sending unit ready for new
data, etc.
- UARTx_S1 (status register)
- Contains flags that show the state

including: existence of new
received data, error in received
data, sending unit ready for new
